Two years ago I did this thing where I painted children& #39;s book covers on rocks, and hid them in my local library. I& #39;m going to paint some grown up books this time and hide them once libraries reopen.
First rock finished is Room by @EDonoghueWriter - such a distinctive cover. I will hide it in Marshalswick Library (when it opens) for a reader to find!
Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel book rock
Next finished book rock is The Handmaid& #39;s Tale by @MargaretAtwood to be hidden in my library... once it reopens!
Normal People by Sally Rooney. Looking forward to seeing the adaptation soon!
Rivers Of London by @Ben_Aaronovitch on a rock! I love these covers (and the books of course)
Next book-painted-on-a-rock-to -be-hidden-in-my-library-once-it& #39;s -open-again is How To Build A Girl by @caitlinmoran . Luvverly font in this one, tricky to copy. Looking forward to the adaptation!
Teeny tiny The Camomile Lawn by Mary Wesley, on a pebble.
These are getting smaller and smaller... The Cider House Rules by John Irving, on a pebble.
Bring Up The Bodies by Hilary Mantel
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, on a rock
One Day by David Nicholls @DavidNWriter on a pebble. I& #39;ve painted this lovely book before, but it was a gift. This one is for the library for someone to find, once it is open again.
The Eyre Affair by @jasperfforde I adore this book. Painting the cover on a stone was a little challenging!
A Penguin classic book cover, to add to my collection of book rocks. Instantly recognisable, but dont look too closely at the writing, my rocks are getting too small! @PenguinUKBooks
I was finally brave enough to do a Terry Pratchett book cover on a rock - the brilliant Guards! Guards! To be hidden in library once it reopens. @TransworldBooks
I need bigger rocks.

The Nothing Girl by @joditaylorbooks painted on a little stone, to be hidden in the library once they reopen. Adore this book and its sequels.
While I had the orange and white paint out, I did a teeny Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, another classic @PenguinUKBooks cover. Might keep this one.
A teeny tiny crime book rock: How The Dead Speak by @valmcdermid
I love crime novels, but then have to find something fluffy to read straight after.
