February 2018 Theme: BEAUTIFUL BOOK COVERS

[Zuky]

Hello everyone!

We’re a month into 2018, finally! It feels like January has just draaagged along – or is that just me? I hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to the new theme!

I’m not a Valentine’s kinda girl so I didn’t want this theme to be predictable and romance based… therefore it isn’t!

… but before that, just to remind you all, the January review post will be up a few days after Feb starts so if you read a book for the theme, don't forget to leave your review link in the following (linked) thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Anyway, onto this months theme!

THE THEME FOR FEBRUARY IS: BEAUTIFUL BOOK COVERS

Simply choose a book with an absolutely gorgeous front cover! This is all down to opinion at the end of the day… so take your pick!

I'll be reading:



The Good People by Hannah Kent

This cover has a beautiful teal and copper colour scheme. The leaf / face print is metallic on the cover and the contrast of the two colours is absolutely stunning!

I’ve been wanting to read this novel for a while now, and not just because of the incredible cover, so I hope I enjoy it. I’ve heard so many good things and I do love a historical fiction so I’m sure I’ll love it!

Let us know what book you'll be choosing to read this month!

[Nora]

I think I am going to read Slated by Teri Terry

I fell in love with this cover when I first saw it but I never got around to read the book!

[Jamie-Lee]

I am going to read The Witches of New York by Ami McKay

I love the cover and the story seems very intriguing and perfect for a rainy west coast February.

[S.]

Cover love?! Brilliant. Perfect! I love that so much! I’m going to have fun trying to pick this one out!

Zuky, I didn’t finish my book for Jan but ended up reading two or three other new authors instead. I got a kindle for Christmas and went kinda reading crazy.

[Alex]

Oh, I like this theme! The cover in my TBR collection that stands out the most is Dream Storm Sea by A.E. Marling

Gorgeous colours, plenty of drama, and bonus tentacles :)

[Marina]

I've had this book for years - it was picked by a real-life reading group I was in but I didn't have time to read it at the time. I think the cover is gorgeous and I hope the story does it justice.

[Joana]

I will be reading Shadowsong :)



This is the sequel to Wintersong, which also has a beautiful cover. This one has (a think) a bluish snow globe like the first one, but it's broken and there are red poppies getting out of it. It also has a beautiful purple background.
It's just stunning! Plus I loved the first book!

[Misty's Book Space]

For this months theme I am going to be rereading a favorite if mine from last year and I think it has a stunning cover.

That book is watching Glass Shatter by James J Cudney

I love the cover for that novel! I have it on my shelf too :-)

[Holly]

I saw this cover and had to read it!Next Year in Havana

[Cathy]

From my February TBR, I've picked The Optickal Illusion by Rachel Halliburton

[Hafsa | حفصہ]

I've finally decided that I'll go with The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock by Imogen Hermes Gowar. (I didn't even read its synopsis before requesting it on Netgalley because of the beautiful cover!!)

[Alex (ReadingBetweenTheNotes)]

I'll be reading The Essex Serpent!

[Kate]

This was a difficult one, but I have decided to go for...

Nineveh by Henrietta Rose-Innes

[Paul]

I will be reading Savage Country. By Robert Olmstead

[Taylor]

I read By The Book by Julia Sonneborn! I fell in LOVE with the cover and it’s even better that it’s an Austen retelling of Persuasion!

[Quirkyreader]

This is what I read for a beautiful book cover The Ballad of Dorothy Wordsworth: A Life . And here is the link to the review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Madeline]

I’m reading, The Power and the Glory by Graham Green. The copy I have is a paperback, with a book cover on top, but the book cover has cut outs to see the bits of the original cover through it. It’s very unique and very beautiful!

[Jenna | Bookmark Your Thoughts]

Hello! I love this theme! I've never really been into Valentine's, so I'm happy the theme isn't something like "romance novel" or whichever. This is a perfect theme choice <3



I'm going to read "Milk and Honey" by Rupi Kaur. I've been eager to read this for a while now but keeping putting it off to the side.

[Nicole]

Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes is a book I've wanted to read for a while, but it was the cover that made me pick up this particular version as a gift to my niece (which I then read before gifting).

[Magical_Bookworm]

I am going to read Carry On. I've been waiting to read this book for a while now. Plus I have the paperback edition which is so pretty.

[Denise]

I'm a bit late, so I hope I finish by Jane Corry this month.

I will be reading Embers of War by Gareth L. Powell this month.

Gorgeous cover! Nice choice. Had to add to my TBR.

Black Mamba Boy

I have just read Black Mamba Boy by Nadifa Mohamed

I noticed this book in my library because of its beautiful front cover. I love sunsets too! When I read the blurb, I realised it was all about Africa and was longlisted for the Orange Prize for fiction, so thought I would give it a go!
