And, my choice this week is Lips Touch: Three Times by Laini Taylor. (I have this book on my shelves but haven’t read it yet – it’s such a beautiful book though. Time to bump this one up the list.

I love this cover. It’s so striking and it just makes me want to keep looking at it. The cover I own is the one with the fruit (could have used that one last week!)

For the theme this week I’ve chosen: Storm Front by Jim Butcher (#The Dresden Files). (I confess I struggled with this theme!)
and my winner:
I think it suits the theme and the weather in the background looks very gloomy to say the least.

You may have seen on recent posts that November is Sci Fi 2016 which is an event that celebrates all things sci fi. So, I’m using my weekly memes to highlight sci fi novels. For the theme this week I’ve chosen: I am Legend by Richard Matheson. This book is perfect for this week’s theme because of course the main character really is by himself!
plus the first edition cover:
And the winner:
I had to go with the scary cover! I just couldn’t help it – even though it doesn’t necessarily fit in with the theme!
