Bout of Books 7.0 Update
Bout of Books day 3 is upon us! I’ve finished two books (one of which I started last week). I hosted a giveaway yesterday! And I’ve got winners! Emails have been sent!
My winners are: Kay from It’s a Booklife, P7 from Bookeater/Booklover, and Lisa from Lisa Likes Books
There’s a very cool challenge up today over on Books Are My Best Friends Forever. It’s a challenge to create an alternate cover for a book. I love it, but I have no photo manipulation skills so, I’m not going to indulge. I will, however, give you a few publisher created alternate covers.
This, on the left, is the American cover of Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I don’t especially like it. I don’t think the mask is photoshopped on very well. And why is there a feather mask at all? What is that even about.
Blue hair – yes.
Wings – yes.
Random blue feathered mask – not so much.
On the other hand, we have what I believe is the UK cover. That one is totally awesome! The feathers are just perfect.
Now, we all know how much I love the Kat, Incorrigible covers. I think they’re awesome and beautiful. And they’re full wrap-around, which makes me happy. So, I’m not saying that the other cover is better. But seriously, look at this amazing French cover! It’s so awesome. I really want to own it. Possibly as a poster.
My Progress:
Pages Read: ~459
Books Started: 3 (Between Two Thorns by Emma Newman, The Riddle of the Labyrinth by Margalit Fox, & Death By Diamonds by Annette Blair)
Books Finished: 2 (Maybe This Time by Jennifer Crusie, The Riddle of the Labyrinth by Margalit Fox)
Medusa's Library 
You’re doing really well with the reading so far! And I liked your take on the book cover challenge. I haven’t read Daughter of Smoke and Bone yet, but that feathers cover is a good one. Is it the UK hardback cover? The UK paperback cover has a door on it (not sure if that has anything to do with the story, but it is quite an intriguing image!).
Good luck with today’s reading! 🙂
