Top Ten Covers We Wish We Could Redesign

This meme is hosted by . The Broke and the Bookish.

1. The Hunger Games Series. This is a really great series but to be honest I didn't read the book because the cover of it did not look like it would be interesting. I read the book after I saw the movie and when the hype of it was still at its high.

2. Beautiful Creatures. A friend actually asked me to read this book with her. I absolutely loved the book but the cover screams help. I didn't particular like movie. But the story is so good.

3.Delirium by Lauren Oliver. This cover is so boring and the only reason why i had even picked it up was because I was scanning over it for work.

4.Prophecy by Ellen Oh- I hated the cover but it was a good read

5. Angel Fire by L.A. Weatherly- I loved loved loved this series but i felt the cover looked dated and it reminded me of on of those very old romance paper back books.

6. Hades by Alexandra Adornetto- I felt the cover of this book could have been more sinister looking if that is the right word for it. "The main character is basically in hell the whole time. This cover could have been a lot darker.

7. Flight by Alyssa Ivy- This is one of my favorite series. I can tell you more about this series if you would like. Click here. I love the characters in this series. It was one of those that you felt you were a character right along with them. This cover could have been changed to something of the nature of the book. It looks like the artist ran out of time.

8. Forever Altered- The chemistry of this book was really great and i felt the cover was taking alot away from the book itself. It was good but it wasn't to where I had to get the book as soon as I saw the cover kind of thing.

9. Ruined by Paula Morris- I really like this series but i felt the cover was just to plain. It could have been a lot darker and more gothic to go with the storyline

10. The Archived by Victoria Schwab- I liked this book because it was different from some other books that i read. The cover just shows a picture of a girl and smoke and that is it. It is a mystery/suspense book and the cover could have delivered more to add to the affect of the story.

The Mister Book Review

Goodreads synopsis: London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face. But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past. Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own? I will admit I did have some kind of salty...

Discussion #1 Sex in Y.A. Fiction

Working as a Young Adult Librarian, I get this questions about this topic asked a lot. These are some of the questions that I am asked. Most of the time it is the parents that come to me especially the ones that have a child that is transitioning from children's fiction to Y.A. I can understand a part of what the parent is trying to do because of the age of the child. Not all of my teens parents monitor what they read but the majority of them do. So I break it down for them 1.) Y.A. stands for Young Adult. It ranges from the ages of 12-18 but it is divided. 12-14 and 15-18. If the teen falls into the 12-14 bracket I take them to the middle school section in our childrens area because it is a lot easier to find some books that will appease both parent and teen. 2.) Not ALL Y.A. is explicit and have vulgar language. It may have a few curse words. The majority of it may have some type of high school slang or something around that area and mild language but not all Y.A. is the...

Discussion Post #3 When did you find your love for reading?

I have been an avid reader for a good while but I did not start out as one. In fact, I hated reading. I never gave it a chance and as I said in the previous discussion post anytime I am forced to read something it just makes me want to not read it even more. I was about 13 and I remember one of my best friends was reading Harry Potter and I asked her why was she reading it. She looked at me like I had grown an eye in the middle of my forehead. In reality all I was seeing was the length of the book. At the time, I was very intimidated by how long a book was. Fast forward a couple of years I went to a library program and they were showing Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets. Long story short....I loved the movie. The librarian told me if I loved the movie I would most definitely love the book. I checked them out and I totally understood why my best friend loved them. They were simply amazing and I so desperately wanted my letter to come in the mail. I went into a reading slump ...
