Booking Through Thursday Asks:

How do you feel about illustrations in your books? Graphs? Photos? Sketches?

This is an interesting question. I actually do not mind those in my books. Especially historical books that have a lot of characters spanning through the years or series books that have a lot of characters to keep up with. To me graphics add to the story. I love having a clear picture in my mind.

5minutespeace said...: I think illustrations are integral to the written word, depending on what it is. As a reviewer of children's books over at http://5minutespeace.wordpress.com I can't emphasise the importance of illustration enough and I always include the use of them in my reviews.

When done right, illustrations/graphics etc can be really complementary and emphatic to the story being told and allows the reader some scope to escape into the written word.

Great blog.; March 21, 2010 at 7:00 PM
