The blurb for The Chair Man is an odd one, I can’t tell if it’s supposed to be serious or comical, like “….but will soon become a sitting target”. Mmm. Interesting covers though (but the images here are really tiny, much smaller than on the last poll, so I’m not sure if it’s just formatting differently on my browser). Voted! 🙂
Caz xx
You’re right, the images shrunk when I did a thinner style poll, which I daren’t change now in case it messes them up – however, you can click on the links below to see the images in full over at Amazon. I will add this above, to make it easier for everyone.
Lesson learned, not to shrink down the poll size! 😀
Yes, I took that “….but will soon become a sitting target”, as a clever play on words etc. Imagine being in a wheelchair and not being able to run or hide as easily? I think that would be very much more frightening. Though it could have a comical side to it…
Thanks for voting!
Voted! Love the book covers.
Thank you!
Sassy,
I still can’t find the poll on this page showing a list of book covers with the check box beside the cover. I can find the list of titles to click to go to Amazon but no poll. You sent me a screen shot of the February nominated covers w/check box and a link to this page, but I can’t see it here on the nominated page.
HI! Sorry to hear you’re still having so much trouble – can anyone reading this see it? Have you asked anyone else if they can see it. I’ve had major computer issues (mainly no internet!) and I’m still working though a backlog of emails – if you have responded to my last one already.
