Can’t wait for the Irish memoir. And I agree. No plaid.

No plaid is the right answer for you. Plaid is not BethAnnigish.

Can't wait to see it.

Love the glitter. Enjoy your adventure to Swissland.

I like the white. The plaid looks a little too mannerly? Which I’m sure your writing isn’t. Whichever you choose, I’m looking forward to reading!

While I tend to like lots of white space, I'm partial to the plaid layout. Looking forward to the new book!!

I very much like the plaid and the shamrock because when it’s sitting on a table in a book store, being viewed online, or in someone’s hand, it’s catchy. That’s my humble opinion. Reading Heating and Cooling and LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

What I loved about this was how proud you are of your son. Yes, you have a new book coming out, and that’s something to be proud of, but I could feel the joy when you wrote about him.

I vote for a glitter-speckled cover.

I am team plaid with the major caveat that I would need to see the cover art to understand the user experience. Who knew literature had jewelry decisions!

Can't wait for the memoir! Love the look of the minimalist design. The plaid seems way too overdone, but if there's a way to include a very faint, very minimal line of knot work, that could strike a beautiful balance!

No shamrock on either please, I like the plaid best but the plain white page with text and no shamrock is classic

And I always thought Beth Ann was Bethann when we lived in Lake Forest. (from Gary Olson - your baseball/wiffleball instructor).

Gary, it's so cute you've found me here. I remember the wiffleball games fondly, even though I was terrible. I could give you a run for your money on the pickleball court, however.

If the cover is a lot, first one. If it’s sedate, second one. I ❤️ the shamrock!!

Also, congratulations on another book!! Proud that I know you and get to bask in your awesomeness.
