Cover Love - Week 12

First of all, I want to apologize for not blogging for a while. I haven't been able to blog for the whole past week due to the fact that I was in the Malaysian Wilderness on a School Expedition. 'Nuff said.


"Cover Love" is a weekly meme I've adapted from 21 Pages. This week's Cover Love theme is Book Covers Underwater. This really gives a haunting appearance to books, and I love it when book covers have that effect. AMAZING!

● The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin ●

(Amazon❘❘Goodreads)

I thought this one was stunning. It looks so haunting, and I cannot wait until it releases.

● A Blue So Dark by Holly Schindler ●

(Amazon❘❘Goodreads)

This one sounds so good, and I saw this cover on 21 Pages. Need to get my hands on this one!

● Lost Voices #1: Lost Voices by Sarah Porter ●

(Amazon❘❘Goodreads)

I still need to start reading this one! I love the sound of it, and of course, the cover is amazing!

● Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma ●

(Amazon❘❘Goodreads)

This one was featured in the In My Mailbox this week on The Story Siren. I loved the cover! It looks so hauntingly and beautifully terrifying.

● Breathless by Lurlene McDaniel ●

(Amazon❘❘Goodreads)

I'm pretty sure this one's in my school library, and the story line really sounds fantastic. I should go and check it out! This cover kinda reminds me of the beginning scene of the movie, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, with Logan Lerman (<3) in the pool. Just saying.

Well, that's it for this week's Cover Love! Leave a link/comment to your Cover Love and/or Cover Love suggestions for the next week(s)!

Cover Alert (7)

"Cover Alert" is a meme I've created by myself. It's to show what new covers that have been revealed that I've discovered! and here it is:

OMG! I just about had a heart attack when I saw the cover on Barnes & Nobel. It's amazing! I love all the books and so I cannot wait for this one to come out :) and OMG it's the last one!!!! It's taken so LONG though for all the books to come out. I mean, like they come out every two years or something? I remember Brisingr came out sometime in September 2008 (my first book signed!), and this one's coming out Novermber this year. WOW. A pretty big gap...but of course, these books are HUGE. They must take a long time to write...


Well, that was my radar going off again on a newly released book cover! What did you find this week? leave a link/comment!

Top Ten Tuesday - Week 12

"Top Ten Tuesday" is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Today's Top Ten is:Top Ten Bookish Pet Peeves. Because I can't really think of 10, I'm putting down 5 this time.

1. Bent Covers/Pages. I hate buying a brand new book and finding a crinkle on the cover in the corner, or the spine is bent with the bending lines really standing out. I also really hate it when I get a library book and I find folded pages and stuff, and then I get so annoyed at having to unfold all the page corners.


2. Repetitive Plot line in a series. I really hate it when the books in a series basically repeat the same story line, although with different figures and items and backgrounds etc. and you just have to keep reading the same thing on and on and on again. It gets a bit tiresome.


3. Stereotypes. I really don't like it when there are "typical" characters, like ex. the most popular girl in school, who is the head cheerleader, and is the girlfriend of the hottest guy (i.e. The Guy which the main character likes–if from a girls POV) and yeah. I mean, I don't want to hear about how mean and terrible she is. Heard it all already. 100+ times.


4. In a Bookstore, having all the same author's books EXCEPT for the one you want. Yup, we've all been there. I really hate this! I'm just like, "Does everyone wanna read the same book at the same time I do or what?!".


5. Lending Books to people and then receiving it back in worse conditions. I've had book covers torn, folded pages and bent pages/spines/covers when I lent some books to friends, classmates etc. I really, really, REALLY don't like it when it happens.


Well, that was my Top Ten (or rather 5... :S) of today, but sorry for posting it late! What was your top ten this week? Leave a link/comment!
