Top Ten Scariest Looking Book Covfile:///C:/Users/angel/Downloads/03b7f9c0da575e9aa6b5fbe079c71dfb.jpgers

Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 7 Comments
 
 
Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that one of the bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All Bloogers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Scariest Looking Book Covers 
This week was kind of hard in a way, as I don’t think I have ever read ‘scary’ books with ‘scary’ covers. Not that I don’t like them or that I am not into them, I just have never picked one of them up. So this list consist of, covers that I do, find scary in one way or another.
 
1. Fallen by Lauren Kate – this cover in a sense is not scary, scary, but I do find the dark colours very gothic like and dark, which in some cases I do find scarier.

 

2. The House of Dead Maids by Clare B. Dunkle –  This cover is just creepy, scary and just plain eerie.

3. The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff – This cover is scary, anything to do with harming babies is scary to me but. The colours used, the weapons hanging on an old tree, above a babies pram. With all the low clouds/smoke very scary.
4. Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna #1) by Kendare Blake – I hate old house, they just creep me out so much, so having the old house in the background is enough already, but then the black, whites and greys with only the title, the bottom of her dress and what seems to be leaves or the shreds of material in red, makes it that much more creep. The fact that we only see her back, with her black hair going to one side with the wind, just creepy.

5. Asylum by Madeleine Roux – First of all the title of the book already, freaks me out, but the way it’s written is creepy as. Also the depiction of the figure of the girl and now it’s not full made out, how her face is somewhat not there makes it that much more scary. And how there is little light.

6. Sleepless by Thomas Fahy  –  the way that the title is written on the sleeping mask in like a cut, the blood dripping her face, makes it look really scary.

 

7. Drought by Pam Bachorz –The girls face is transparent and you can see right through her and see the creepy, old woods is pretty scary to me.


8. Time of the Witches by Anna Myers– don’t need to say much about this cover, it speaks for its self.

9. Malice by Griffin Hayes– This cover is scary, come on a red eye, with skin that’s not the colour of normal skin.

 

10. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine #1) by Ransom Riggs– This is just a creepy cover. Like you wound not think it’s scary but it is. I think anything with kids like this is scary.

 
Sorry that, if it looks really wired, I’m not sure what has happened. What do you think of the books I’ve chosen? Do you think they are scary? What books are on your list?

October Book Haul

Posted by angelreads Book Hauls No Comments


I just love sharing all the new books I get months. So at the start of each month I will post what I brought throughout the previous month or received from either publishers, Netgallery or from people. For example at the start of September, I am posting what books I brought or received through August. I would Also like to hear what books you also brought throughout the month as well. 

I brought and received a fair few books throughout the month of October; I just could not help myself. (These are in no particular order as i don’t remember which books I brought first.)


I went to a second hand shop in October and I picked up 2 books. They are in pretty good condition. I managed to get both books for $2 each.



–Northern Lights (His Dark Materials #1) by Philip Pullman

–Revelations (Blue Bloods#3)by Melissa de la Cruz 


I then got a few unprepared buys. Throne of Glass I found it for $5 and have to pick it up. Then a few weeks ago, when the Australian edition of The Fault in Our Stars came out I was going to go after school and get that edition even though I have the first edition. But then I was looking on my twitter feed and I saw that Dymocks were selling signed editions and well, a singed book by John Green yes thank you. And Finally just the other day I was in Big-W when I saw the amazing book set of the Hunger Games Trilogy and it was pretty much half price.  


-Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass #1) by Sarah J. Maas

– The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

– The Hunger Games Trilogy Boxset (The HungerGames #1-3) by Suzzanne Collins


I then brought a few ebooks. I brought the e-books of Insurgent and Allegiant as I am saving up to get the hardcover box set.


–Insurgent (Divergent #2) by Veronica Roth 

–Allegiant (Divergent #3) by Veronica Roth 

–Aberrant (Aberrant #1)by Ruth Silver

The last 2 books I received as e-ARC. You can read my review on Seven Day Fiancé here. The Review of Pawn will be up closer to the release date.


-Seven Day Fiancé (Love andGames #2) by Rachel Harris

-Pawn (TheBlackcoat Rebellion #1) by Aimee Carter 


So that’s what I brought/received in the month of October. Have you read any of these? Did you buy any of them? What else did you buy this month?

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
