New Covers Round-Up (1)

So, I'm introducing a new feature on the blog! It's a simple feature that shows YOU GUYS new book covers that have caught my eye in the last month hand a half (not all of them are there, only the ones I wanted to show you guys)! Warning : there are MANY!

I am a big Lisa McMann fan! I have read almost all of her books, and this won't be an exception! Super cool eye!

This cover is so awesome-pants! And it's super creepy, which I LOVE when it comes to covers! It has had a bit of a buzz when the cover got release; I saw it on numerous Waiting on Wednesdays!

Stunning cover! I just came across it!

I am a big fan of ELIZABETH EULBERG's Prom & Prejudice! This cover is so cool! Simple, funny, and yet it fits the title!

Wow! Looks like sci-fi to me, right? I love the blue and green together!

Pretty, right? And such an awesome contrast!

Weird title... AWESOME cover!

So creepy looking, right? But, the title is SUPER intriguing!

It has this Divergent cover feel to it :S Which, I don't like, at all! Ugh!

I liked the other cover better :S

Super feaking awesome cover! Love it!

NEEED! NOOOOOW! GAH!

It totally goes super beautifully with Partials!

PRETTY! BLUUUUUE (as you can see, I have seen too many beautiful covers... and my brain is slowly melting....)

Looks like a really cute and fluffy cover! Pink! Oooh! 0.0

You CAN'T say that this isn't cool, or beautiful! AND it looks sparkly! I like sparkly stuff ;D

WHY?!?!?!? It's the THIRD time they change the covers! EVIIIIL!

It has SO MANY of my favorite authors! EEEP! I am super freaking excited! *squeeeee!*

Simply loved the first book and can't wait for this one! And, I LOVE BLUE!

I haven't read or bought Cinder yet :( BUT I WANT TO! *sigh*

OMG! The twitter thing was so cool! I lost about 20 followers, but it was a sacrifice to make! So pretty, and I love this series so much! I like it better than the Mortal Instruments!

Really pretty, and I love the girl's hair!

:( McDonald much? I'm really unhappy about this cover!

Really like this series!

It's okay looking, I guess

I liked the green cover better! AGH :S

Oooooh! Pretty!

Actually revealed this on my blog! Woot!

Like this series, and I'm glad they stuck to the same covers!

I revealed this one here too!

LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH! GAHHHH!

I really like this series, and the covers are pretty too ;D

Really like that one! It's mesmerizing!

Like the purple and gray contrast!

*stares*

Wow. That'S the word I'd use to describe for this!

 Pretty, but I like the other two previous books' covers better!

I don't really like this one :(

This is SO weird, and yet AWESOME!

I love this cover! So pretty with the yellowy orange and blue contrast!

I think that's enough eye candy, right? I mean that's more than 35 covers!

WWW(W) Wednesday (16)

 


Alright, so I decided to mix one of my favorite memes (Waiting on Wednesday) and a new and cool-looking meme called WWW Wednesday. It's basically three questions(always the same), but I'll be adding mine : what are you waiting for? So, 
let's get on with it! 

What did you recently finish?

 And it was great! So action packed, too!

What are you currently reading?

 And it's really good for now!

What do you think you'll be reading next?

 Got that from NetGalley *gasps* I know! I never get books from them, but this sounded too good too pass up!

Added question: What are you waiting for? 

 Can't wait to see the ending!!!!

My Opinion :


If only Spark had been as good as Glow was for me... alas, it wasn't.

Glow was a really great book, but its sequel had the Stupid Sequel Syndrome (why, oh why!!!!!!!!!). Spark was only about Kieran being an ass and Waverly turning into a cold-blooded bitch (well, she wasn't always... but she was a bitch sometimes)

In Spark, the only thing happening is a kind of fight between Kieran and Waverly. It's kind of a political tirade going on for the entire book. But, of course, there's this kind of terrorist on board... so I guess the book is not too bad... but I just didn't like it!

The writing was way more fast-paced than what I would have liked it to be, but I think it was the best aspect of the book.

As you may know, I hate hating a book, and I hate giving it as bad rating, because I feel sometimes like it's my fault that I didn't like it. But, in this case... I think it was the book. Not me.

I didn't exactly hate Spark... but I strongly disliked it.

Kieran was... oh god. I don't think I have strongly hated someone this much in a book. EVER. I think that's what the author was going for.

But, Miss(es) Ryan also made me dislike Waverly A LOT.

*sarcastic* Otherwise, great book! Not.

2 roses

Author Bio : 

After I finished my studies, I decided to try writing something different from Shadow Falls. I wanted to try writing something more lighthearted and funny, but that still had some substance to it. This is how Vibes was born. I had heard of that elusive creature, the book that wrote itself, but I had not experienced it before Vibes. Kristi was such a strong character, with such a strong voice, that the story just poured out of me. In four months, I had finished it. After one or two quick revisions, I sent it to my agent, who quickly found a very enthusiastic publisher for it.

Now I write full time in my house in Colorado, where I live with my cute fluffy dog and my cute unfluffy husband. Being a full time writer is a dream come true.

My Opinion :


I have been a huge Gleek (or Glee fan) since the beginning, and I would be lying if I said that Kurt Hummel (played by Chris Colfer, the author of THE WISHING SPELL, his wonderful debut novel) wasn't my favorte character. I love him as an actor, and I was really happy to find out that I like him as an author too!

I'm not one for Middle Grade novels. I do really enjoy Rick Riordan's novels, but otherwise, I don't read Middle Grade. But, as you can see, I dug into The Wishing Spell pretty quickly and enjoyed it a lot!

The Wishing Spell follows twins Alex and Conner Bailey's story as they discover The Land of Stories' magical world where fairy tale characters actually exist. But, they have to find a way back home, and so they start on a quest to get the seven items needed for the Wishing Spell, a spell that can give you any wish you want. But, the Evil Queen, Snow White's stepmother, wants the Wishing Spell too. And the problem is; the Wishing Spell can only be used two times... and there is only one left. 

Near the end, I was sweating, turning the pages as fast as I could so that I could see how it ended.


After a while, though, the quest to finding all the objects got kind of long, but then the best part of the book came by ;D


Although I do like series, I'm seriously wondering where Colfer will takes us next.

Seriously adorable!

If you get the book, look closely at the cover; it's just so beautiful, and represents the book perfectly!

One thing I hated was how the author portrayed the twins; they are 12. I'm 13, so let's say we're the same. And I am not at all like that. They seemed like they were 9 or 10 or something!

RATING

4 roses!
