Home On The (O)range

As a writer, I often pay attention to newly-released and bestselling books. I have never written a bestseller — and likely never will, because I prefer writing short posts and short poems — but I know my way around a bestseller. I’ve read some and I’ve carefully avoided others.

But even if I don’t plan on reading the book in question, I like to know what’s trending, and I like to figure out why people are interested in these trends.

I’m not a market researcher. I’m just a nosey broad

Lately, I’ve been paying more attention to covers and jackets and thumbnail art — and I’ve noticed that orange is a big color right now. As winter fades into spring, bright colors are making a comeback. I think that’s lovely.

And the orange spines and white pages? They make me want a Creamsicle. Mmmmmm.

Sally Garnatah writes silly things. Some of Sally’s stories are true. For legal purposes, consider all of these posts to be … autofiction, if you can stomach that kind of quasi-pretentious literary stuff. Sally doesn’t read autofiction, though. She’s too much of a country girl. You can find her down by the Tennessee River, out in the woods, standing in a sorghum field — or you can find her right here, on her blog.
