Welcome to my Day 2 post!
Earlier this morning I finished Slated by Teri Terry! I had previously started it over the weekend as part of the Debut-a-Thon hosted by Books of Amber. I will be posting a review at some point today or later this week, along with a review of Nobody But Us by Kristin Halbrook which I read as part of the other Thon as well. Everyone has raved about Slated and I was disappointed to find I didn't LOVE it. It was good though. Today I am going to continue reading The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey which I had also previously started last month. I am loving that one so far!
Today's participation post is Must-Have Summer Reads where I tell you what is on my summer reads list, whether they are books I've read and recommend to others, or books I want to read. I am going to share the top 4 books I want to read that people keep telling me to read and then the top 1 book that I recommend everyone should read.
I sound like a broken record player but the one book I recommend AGAIN is:
Today's challenge is: Cover Re-Do. We pick any book and re-do the cover. (Hosted by Tumbling Books) The book I chose was:
(Now, I actually like this cover but wanted to try something different that seemed to fit better to me.)
My cover:
(Sorry it's kind of hard to see!) Clearly I am not an artist - this picture is super embarrassing LOL but this was my thought: The main character is a ballerina so I wanted her to be the main focus and show her doing some fancy move. On her outfit, I put music notes and words and this is to show her two loves - ballet and writing. The book is about her figuring out who she is and discovering that she actually really likes writing and seeing what her decision will be. I made her have a straight line for a mouth like she's stuck and confused. If I added color, I'd still stick with the red she is wearing and all of the gray for the background but just plain so she's the main focus.

ReplyDeleteI love that book. I still need to read TFiOS & My Life Next Door, but I will be getting to them soon!
Divergent & CoB are also brilliant summer reads.
I really like your idea for you cover re-design :)
Thank you!
