An overhead image with a white background. A brown hand with light blue nail polish on the thumb holds a green book showing the spine. Text in light pink reads top to bottom ‘Marianna Enriquez A Sunny Place for Shady People’. The cover has lamination so the light source bounces off the spine granting an underlined glow under the ‘sunny place for shady’ text.

I’ve had many designs and stickers on this cover due to constant worn -out-ness. This is probably design 3.
A semi worn out, textured phone case on a black background. Grey, blue and red colours can be seen with white mendhi designs in swirls, florets and spots. Top right of case shows sticker which is slowly peeling off from the corner. A drawing of a white Scottish fold with paws propped on top of a blue book. Turquoise writing in capitals, from top of the sticker reads ‘I SUPPORT’, written sideways on the dog ‘INDIE’, at the bottom ‘BOOKSHOPS’. The white mendhi follows around the sticker to frame it with small semi circles to represent flower petals.
