Yayy! Doing another year of prompts! So fun.

Here are some books over the last couple of year that I have read that have pink in the cover.

CONCLUSION
Sooo...honestly I do not think I am very drawn in by pink covers. I haven't really read many with covers that are mostly or have a lot of pink on the covers. The majority also seems to be romance novels. Go figure ;)




And just for fun! Here is a painting I did that has "PINK" in it ;)
