Tanita, so funny, I’ve been hoping to get to do a SorryWatch post about whitewashed book covers! (I just read and loved Girl of Fire and Thorns, but whoo boy, the difference between the UK and US covers!) Somebody just has to APOLOGIZE for SOMETHING. What with this blog being called SorryWatch and everything.
