My Beautiful Drawing

Draw a book cover from memory. I tried to think of one that would be fairly easy. I thought of The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Obviously I forgot somethings. I also really hated the cover and refused to read it because the cover was ugly. Yes, I judge a book by it's cover. I did eventually read it and I enjoyed it.

5. Have I participated before and what will I do different? I have participated before. I have been doing this for a few years. It is to early to say exactly when. I plan on just laying back and participating when I feel like it. I don't have any defined goals, which is different. I will tell you I do miss the way we signed up before and could see everyone participating. I liked to visit the other blogs before the event.
