MUSING MONDAY

Monday, July 23, 2012 | Posted by Unknown |

MUSING MONDAYS… is a weekly meme hosted by MizB from I Should Be Reading, she will ask a book/reading-related question, and you answer with your own thoughts on the topic.

This week’s musing asks…

Do you read magazines? If so, which ones? If not, why not?

MY ANSWER:
I read from time to time, Better Homes and Gardens which I got a 1 year subscription from my mother-in-law. I also read the Family Circle, and Parent Magazine.

Thanks for visiting! I just love comments :)

CRAZY ABOUT COVERS!

Monday, July 23, 2012 | Posted by Unknown |

My meme, Crazy about Covers, was inspired by The Bookworms 'Cover Crazy'.

Each week I will reveal a book(s) that I put on my TBR List just because I was Craazzy about the Cover or Title! It can be creepy, beautiful, or a title that was odd or funny . I know that a lot of book lovers may have already seen or heard about some of these books. But I'm just giving my opinions on books that I have come across. Hope you join in!!!

My cover pick(s) this week is:

Exiled (The Never Chronicles #1)

by J.R. Wagner Paperback, 288 pages
Published: June 5, 2012

Publisher: Live Oak Book Group

*Synopsis via Goodreads*

James has never known an ordinary life. As long as he can remember, he and his family have been on the run—moving from place to place, never settling down, never growing roots. Now, just when he’s on the brink of manhood, the very thing his family has been trying to prevent tears him from all he has ever known and thrusts him into a place where he is powerless and alone.
Bent on finding a way back, James must brave a place reserved for the worst of his kind. He quickly learns that the land itself poses a greater threat than its inhabitants and if he is to have any chance of returning, he must work with the very people he’s been raised to fear.

James has known magic since just after he was born. As a sorcerer, his skills are exceptional yet when he wakes in The Never, his abilities are gone. Armed with nothing but determination and the will to survive, he braves a land wrought with dangers, mysteries and temptations meant to ensnare both body and mind and prevent escape forever.

I never read this book,but when I came across it on Goodreads, the first thing I thought was: this cover is creepy! The dark cover can only mean something deadly or evil lurks.

So tell me, did you pick some books this week that was solely based on it's cover or title,whether pretty or scary?

Please share, I love comments!
