one day, david nicholls: hodder & stoughton/hachette.

_i have to confess: i don’t like the cover that much. i like the illustration, but the typography is too heavy, i think. this version gets it all better done. and if it wasn’t for all the “now a major motion picture” text hovering the cover, i’d probably buy the movie tie-in edition. (kudos to anne hathaway and jim sturgess!) but today is july 15th, the “one day”, and this book became by far one of my favorites. so i couldn’t help cleaning out the cobwebs from my tumblr on this special date.

You’re gorgeous, you old hag, and if i could give you just one gift ever for the rest of your life it would be this. Confidence. It would be the gift of confidence. Either that or a scented candle. | Dexter Mayhew, from One Day
