I is for Ivory and Bone by Julie Eshbaugh


Cover Girls theme for the A - Z Challenge is no surprise -- book covers!




I – Ivory and Bone by Julie Eshbaugh

Dani – I don’t know what it is but I just LOVE this cover to pieces (see what I did there?). There is something very alluring about it. I just got to have it.

Jax - I saw what you did, Dani. :) I agree, it is very alluring. I'm drawn to it and want to know what the book is about.

H is for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling


Cover Girls theme for the A - Z Challenge is no surprise -- book covers!



H – Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (HP, #8) J.K. Rowling

Jax - In the bottom corner, it says cover not final, but I really like how it is now. There's a lot of things going on in that small space, and I'm sure, several clues- very clever!

Dani – Ok, so you can NEVER pass up on a great writer or her stories but this time around, J.K. also came up with a very cool HP cover which is more modern and fun and very eye-catching!

E is for Emerge, F is for Frost Like Night, and G is for Glass Sword

Cover Girls theme for the A - Z Challenge is no surprise -- book covers!






E - Emerge by Tobie Easton

Jax- First of all, I love her hair and would like to know who her stylist is! I love the subtle colors of this cover. It's soothing, in a way.

Dani – Another girl in a beautiful dress! And where is she going? I want to know.




F – Frost Like Night (Snow Like Ashes, #3) Sara Raash

Dani – I just love this whole series’ covers; they are all so different yet the same. Great visuals, colors, and wonder.

Jax - I like the cool colors on the outer part, and then the warm colors in the middle. 




G – Glass Sword (Red Queen, #2) by Victoria Aveyard

Dani – Simple and classy. Just like Red Queen, this cover gives just enough blood to pull you in but still keeps it beautiful at the same time.

Jax - Regal with a touch of horror. That's what I get from looking at the cover. Love it!

D is for Dream On by Kerstin Gier


Cover Girls theme for the A - Z Challenge is no surprise -- book covers!


Dream On by Kerstin Gier

Dani – I love the whole keyhole thing. Makes me wonder what she must unlock. Very dreamy.

Jax - I agree, Dani. I love how she's leaving a dark place and entering a warm, inviting, place... or is she? That's the beauty of the cover.

C is for The Creeping by Alexandra Sirowy


Cover Girls theme for the A - Z Challenge is no surprise -- book covers!





The Creeping by Alexandra Sirowy

Jax- The girl in the dress entwined in the branches, the icy cool colors of the cover, and the "If you hunt for monsters, you'll find them" slogan on the front, gives me straight up chills!

Dani – This cover is straight up creepy cool! I want to know what kind of trouble she gets into.

A is for An Ember in the Ashes and B is for Bitterblue



Hello, bloggers! Welcome to the 2016 A - Z blogging challenge! For details and the sign-up list, go HERE.

Cover Girls theme for the A - Z Challenge is no surprise -- book covers!







A - An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

Jax - This cover is to the point- they are on a mission, but will come across walls and obstacles. It entices me enough to want to find out what journey they are on!

Dani – I love how I holds my attention with such simple visuals. Makes me wonder what journey they are on and where they will take me.











B - Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore

Dani – I have Graceling on CD (which I still need to listen to) and what made me download it to begin with was the cover, and Bitterblue is no different – very cool.

Jax - I love this cover, from the different keys that look lovely at the top and like weapons at the bottom to the girl peeking through in the background to the delicate flowers in the corners.
