Feature & Follow (#2)

Posted August 31, 2012 by Emma in Blog / 15 Comments

Feature & Follow Friday is a blog hop that is designed to provide some much-appreciated exposure to the bloggers participating, and to expand their following. Hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read, each of whom feature a chosen blog for the week, it’s an interesting way to get to know one another.

Q: Best Cover? What is the best cover of a book that you’ve read and didn’t like?

A:  The best cover I have come across is Burned (House of Night #6). I absolutely loved the book previous to this one, but I just feel that the story was dragging on and I was getting bored as it went a long. The cover is intricate and it complements the other the series of books that I had to see what will become of Zoey and the House of Night… unfortunately I was deeply mistaken for ever setting eyes on it.
Haha, this is ironic to think that last weeks question was in favour of my blog and this one contradicts it… And I fell for it didn’t I.
Leave your blog below and I will ‘hop’on over….

Title – Divergent (Divergent #1) Author – Veronica Roth Genre – YA Dystopia Pages – 487 This was one of the books that my friend Aa’ishah over at Reading Under the Stars recommended to me which is found on my Recommendations page.

Review – Savannah Grey by Cliff McNish

Title – Savannah Grey Author – Cliff McNish Genre – YA Fantasy Romance Pages – 234 This book didn’t do it for me… So here is a synopsis from Goodreads, especially for you my fellow bloggers… 15 year old Savannah Grey has never felt she’s belonged. She keeps her distance, so she’s surprised by her attraction to the new boy Reece. Then strange things begin to happen: nature, it seems, is exerting an overpowering force on the world. Birds behave strangely; gusts of wind blow leaves so fiercely they seem to lure people away. And Savannah learns she has supernatural powers. Nature […]

Review – Poison Heart by S.B. Hayes

Title – Poison Heart Author – S.B. Hayes Genre – YA Contemporary Romance Pages – 360 This is the second book in my Sunday Showcase (#1) , Poison Hear by S.B. Hayes. This is another type of YA a book that gripped me from the start… Not just the cover, which looks great but the general storyline and plot of the book just seemed fresh and new from what I usually read. It was amazing… I’ll let my synopsis explain for itself… Luminous green eyes stare at her from the opposite bus; they both state at each other…that’s where it all begins. […]
