Cover Love (1) + Book Trailer Badassery (1)

Badassery. Totally a word. In my world.

I don't normally do Cover Love posts, but two were just officially revealed that I cannot get over. LOVE.


Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi
PEREGRINE <333333. That's actually not really how I pictured him, but I'm down with this version. I dig his True Blood Bill Compton/Stephen Moyer style goin' on. Aside from the man candy though, I do love the colours, as well as the swirling around him. I take it to be Ether, but who can really say?

Mila 2.0 by Debra Driza
I AM SO GLAD THIS HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN RELEASED. It's been floating around but not "official" so I chose never to post it, but thankfully it's here and I can finally squeal about it. Do you not LOVE this?! The colours. The imagery. The font. I want I want I want.

What do you think of Veronica's and Debra's covers?
Love it? Hate it?

I'm not a Book Trailer girl. I don't know why, it's just not something that appeals to me. I'll watch one if it keeps popping up on my Twitter feed, or if I am really curious about the book, but it's rare. Well, I happened to watch these 2 over the weekend and I basically fell in love. You should watch them too!

Doesn't this look like a real TV show or movie?! Awesome! I think it has been optioned for movie rights, so maybe one day we'll have a real movie trailer, too!

The Forsaken by Lisa M. Stasse
This is a book trailer I can get behind: few real people (because I dislike having impressions of characters before I read them), gorgeous landscape, great treatments, nice amount of teaser and intrigue...perfect. I am also dying for this dang book.

Do you like book trailers? Recommend one to me!

Top Ten Tuesday: Cover Love!

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!  This week's topic is:
Top 10 Favourite Covers

For having a pretty solid memory, I'm pretty bad at remembering covers. So, mine are all from the last two years or so...(click all the images if you want the bigger versions!)

The Selection - Kiera Cass*
(just beautiful!)

Across the Universe - Beth Revis 
(I loved this so much it's a background on my computer)

Pure - Julianna Baggott*
(it's even more beautiful in real life, with the gloss/matte variation)

Winter Town - Stephen Emond*
(I love that the snow is hole punches!)

I'll Be There - Holly Goldberg Sloan 
(funnily enough, I had an ARC of this in my house 6 months before it was released and I didn't even realize -- because it didn't have a cover! The only reason I picked it up at the library was because of the cover!)

The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers - Lynn Weingarten*
(the stars!)

Illuminate - Aimee Agresti*
(everything: the font, the design, her dress, the shadow of wings...adore)

It's Kind of A Funny Story - Ned Vizzini
(it's poignant, and even more so once you read the book!)

A Great and Terrible Beauty - Libba Bray
(so elegant and classy)

The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern*
(the graphics!)


HONORABLE MENTIONS
Bunheads - Sophie Flack
(it's beautiful and different and a bit eerie)

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer - Michelle Hodkin
(this one stays with you for awhile)

Beauty Queens - Libba Bray
(it feels so wrong to see a pageant sash with bullets!)
