I love buying your books but PLEASE DON’T

• change the covers halfway through a series, could you at least wait until the series is over and then re-print? Or print the old versions as well?
  
• change the size of the paperbacks halfway through a series, now my bookshelf is messed up thanks
• if people aren’t complaining about the covers they are probably fine, don’t change them 

Please DO:

• Put the number on the front of books and the spines so I know what order the series is in when I’m in a bookshop
  
• sell series in sets for a discounted price
• talk to the readers more about what they like regarding cover designs
• add illustrations to the inside cover pages, I love illustrations
• Spines in a series that make a rainbow, my heart
  
• COVERS THAT COME TOGETHER TO MAKE A BIG PICTURE

THIS

Shout out to the Dresden Files, who started as paperbacks, went to hardcover, and then started making the paperbacks in different dimensions than the original books, too.

That’s a shout of anger, naturally.

You forgot to mention the random white covers in the sea of black.

also, again, COVERS THAT COME TOGETHER TO MAKE A PICTURE.

and a shout-out to those Terry Pratchett special editions that all look so right together.

Can I add keeping an actual fucking blurb on the back (or inside sleeve of hardcovers), instead of three or four statements from other authors saying variation of “read this book”? Drives me mad when I see an interesting title/cover and then no actual description of what the book is about.

there is not a better feeling than someone playing with your hair

Or running their fingers down your back.

Unless you thought you were alone.

i have a lot of secret hermione headcanons like. she was insufferable at muggle school as well and generally not well liked. she was the girl whose parents were both dentists and she read too many books and tried to talk to people in her class about them but they generally thought she was trying to show off. so when she gets into hogwarts she throws herself into the new culture and reads as many books as her parents will pay for, including her text books and several history books and when her parents refuse to buy the unabridged history of magic and also some legends, she seriously considers hiding out in flourish and blotts so she can just read it in the bookstore. but she wears her robes around the house and sends about forty letters to hogwarts asking questions about the school year and the course load and how the grading scale works and if they’re very sure they’ve told her everything she’s going to need. and her parents are worried about her but they had been already? because she has such a hard time making friends. and they hope she’ll be able to make friends at hogwarts.

the first letter she sends them is full of descriptions of the castle and the sorting and background information on gryffindor and she mentions that she met neville and he’s very sweet, and the classes are so interesting, and she loves them very much! and the next few are also like that and kind of strained. and they suspect (correctly) that she again does not have friends.

a couple weeks into november, she sends them a letter full of complaints about ron’s study habits and how he’s teaching her wizard chess and how both he and harry are very brave but also not very good students. and she tells them about hagrid, who is eight and a half feet tall and the nicest person she has ever met. 

they stop worrying as much until they get a letter at the end of term saying that hermione has broken about 20 school rules and also congratulations your daughter scored over 100% on almost every exam.
