Courtney Lives On In Books

This is a meme hosted by  Sugar & Snark .  Each week they post a characteristic and we choose our 5 favorite covers that fit this characteristic.  This week is: Hats Court's Picks: 5. The Lies That Bind (The Liar Society #2) by Lisa Roecker 4. Wild Roses by Deb Caletti 3. Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices #1) by Cassandra Clare 2. The Kraken King by Meljean Brook My number one pick: 1. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher I really love this cover, it's simple yet beautiful and I like the unque way the title and author portions are done. All the colors tie in really well and it made me want to know more.  Also hats are not pictured on a ton of covers. What are your favorites?

Welcome to some awesome bookish shenanigans with Book Beginnings hosted by Rose City Reader and The Friday 56 hosted on Freda's Voice To join you just need a book, turn to page 56, and then share a bit from there without giving too much away. So I'm using the book I'm currently reading and loving:  Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi (Shatter Me #3) Bookish Beginnings I am an hourglass. My seventeen years have buried me from the inside out.  Friday 56 "I was willing to let you go if you'd found something extraordinary.  Someone who could know you in ways I'd never be able to comprehend. Because you deserved that..."  My Thoughts: So just kill me already because I don't think my heart can take much more. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the writing in these books! It's so on point and everything is just so freaking quotable. These books scream READ ME. So go do that and then we can turn to goo together.  I am not going t...

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly writing prompt hosted on Coffee Addicted Writer . Question of the Week: If you had a chance to read a book or watch a movie that is not about a book you have read, which would you choose? My Answer: I have a tendency to judge movies a whole lot more if I have already read the book. This means that instead of truly enjoying the movie my inner monologue is point out everything that is "wrong" with the movie. Due to this I usually watch the movie first, unless I'm really curious about the book. Sometimes even when the movie is not all that great I still decide to read the book (The Vampire Academy). I like to use movies as a way to peak my interest in the book.

The Cage by Megan Shepard When Cora Mason wakes in a desert, she doesn't know where she is or who put her there.

None of them have a clue as to what happened, and all of them have secrets. As the unlikely group struggles for leadership, they slowly start to trust each other.
