Feature & Follow # 1







Q: Have you ever looked at book's cover and thought, This is going to horrible? But, was instead pleasantly surprised? Show us the cover and tell us about the book.

 

 When I saw the cover of this book, I wasn't really interested in the book. The flower looks, well quite boring. I thought I'd be reading a book that reflects the cover, but I was honestly surprised by the content in the book. It was a very cute read.
I guess the saying "Do not judge a book by a cover," is in fact correct in certain cases.

 

Do you have any such book ? Be sure to let me know in the comments section.
If you follow me, do let me know and I will follow you back :) :)

Have a great weekend :D

    Indeed the cover looks kind of boring :P :) But I am glad you liked the story! I remember when I wanted to read Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake and thank god I didn't check the cover before, because if I would, I wouldn't have probably read the book :P But the story was amazing!! :)

    Thank you for visiting my blog! I'm a new follower. :)

    I have to totally agree with you about this cover. It's not even that it's bad - just blah. I'd probably walk right past it and not even look twice.

    That is definitely a very boring cover. It's such a shame when good books get judged by their covers, especially since the author often doesn't get much say in picking one.

    The poor flower does kind of look sad and boring. In a bookstore my gaze would probably zoom right past it. lol New follower

    Hopping through. I think that cover is really pretty, although it's not exciting. Glad it was good.

    I'm definately a fan of this cover, the synopsis sounds great and it annoys me when such great books have really crappy covers, new follower, here's mine

    Aww, clearly I'm in the minority here! I actually quite like this cover -- it's pretty and I really like the fonts used. It does seem like maybe more of an adult book than YA but whatever (actually for all I know, it IS adult). Glad you liked the book itself! :)

Nick's Random Gibberish (17) : The Art of Commenting

Image
Nick's Random Gibberish is a weekly post here at Nick's Book Blog where I, Nick, will talk about random topics from personal posts to discussion posts. Hi guys! Today I'm here to talk about commenting. This post is partly inspired by Heidi at Rainy Day Ramblings' fabulous discussion post on commenting. I thought I would add my part to the discussion as well and share my thoughts. I personally strongly believe that commenting is one of the most important parts of building your blog's audience. And by that I mean, commenting on other people's blogs and inviting them to visit you, indirectly. Commenting is an extremely time-consuming process, for me. It usually takes me about an hour and a half to go through my feed and write something thoughtful. I actually wake up an hour earlier than I need to so I can get some commenting done before I get to class. So, it can be a huge let down when you take your time to write something encouraging on someone's blog ...

Dark Kiss (Obtained From Net Galley - Big Thanks To Random House Children's Books for the ARC) by Michelle Rowen Summary (from Goodreads) I don't do DANGEROUS. Smart, über-careful, ordinary Samantha—that’s me. But I just couldn’t pass up a surprise kiss from my number-one unattainable crush. A kiss that did something to me...something strange.  Now I feel hungry all the time, but not for food. It’s like part of me is missing—and I don’t know if I can get it back. Then there’s Bishop. At first I thought he was just a street kid, but the secrets he’s keeping are as intense as his unearthly blue eyes. If he’s what I think he is, he may be the only one who can help me.  But something terrifying is closing in, and the one chance Bishop and I have to stop it means losing everything I ever wanted and embracing the darkness inside me....
