Wer'e doing the Book Blogger Hop :)

-

It's that time of week again, ready for the book blogger Hop and I would like to say a huge Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends, readers and fellow bloggers :)

Today's Question :

                                                          "What is your favorite book cover?"
    
                                                                    Today's Answer:

Gosh that is such a hard question and to single it out to favourite book cover AARGH. As readers will know by now , I am and I declare that I am a judge by the cover type girl most of the time. I tend to go with 3 catergories when choosing a book 1) I will always try and read a book that an author that I have read in the past has written be it new/old etc 2) the blurb of the book sounds exciting or 3) the cover of the book attracts me - and sometimes more often than not , I am caught out with this one as the cover maybe as pretty as ever and the book totally boring and I can't get into it. So today I'll give you my past week's favourite two covers. One of the books I really enjoyed and the other one , I was fooled by the cover LOL.

            
I really enjoyed Nightshade and our cover was beautiful , thats one thing Ive noticed about NZ Book Covers compared to USA as our Nightshade was more a darker puple rather than the lavender purple and then Our Black Swan Rising cover had more of a Torment by Lauren Kate feel going for it.


                                                            Today's Question For Bloggers:

                                             What's the worst book cover you have come across ?

    Gosh - that is hard - I like your picks.

    As for worst covers? I've seen a few... I think I have different taste to other people. For instance, the cover of nevermore has been featured places as a fave and it really turns me off for some reason.

    I have a few bad covers on my shelf from the 80's /early 90's - I like the new digital era :)

    @Nomes - I agree with you with the 80's/early 90's covers - I saw a few the other day and it reminded me how far we have come with technology and of course cover art

    You've picked two great covers there. I've not seen that version of the Nightshade cover before.

    Hi! Just hopping by! Old follower here.

    Both your covers are striking. I think that's what I notice the most about covers-not if they're beautiful, but if they're striking.

    Have a great hop!

    I'm a judge by the cover type too but I do have a favorite. My favorite cover dates back to 1987. Stop by to see what it is. Happy Blog Hop.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
