How I love Elizabeth Berg. And the title of this book? Love, love, love. (The cover, not so much ... carry on over the cut for more Elizabeth Berg covers.)
Anyway, out in April, The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted is a collection of short stories on the theme of "What would you do, if nobody was looking?"
Berg's suggestions include "Go AWOL from Weight Watchers and spend an entire day eating every single thing you want – and then some? Start a dating service for people over fifty to reclaim the razzle-dazzle in your life – or your marriage? Seek comfort in the face of aging, look for love in the midst of loss, find friendship in the most surprising of places?"
It's a shame nobody's looking cos I'm doing a happy dance!
Granted, I don't like the new cover above, but I've always loved Berg's previous covers (left) ... except they've been redesigned (right). I like this one for We Are All Welcome Here, but I'm not sure about some of the others.
For instance, the cover for The Art of Mending looks like an eighties Danielle Steel...
What do you think?
