A lot of standard PNR covers, but there are some really good ones thrown in the mix.

Guardians of Eternity

Series: Guardians of Eternity, book 10 Add it: Goodreads | Amazon Genre: Paranormal Romance Source: Wicked Scribes Shera’s thoughts: Never been a fan of these covers, but this time I really-really-really dislike it. There’s something awkward about his pose. Like his arm was photoshoped in poorly. It could be that bad gradient they put on his arm. Oh, and look at his fist, the hues are completely different. It looks to small compared to the rest of him.

Series: Celta’s Heartmates, book 12 Add it: Goodreads | Amazon Genre: Paranormal Romance Source: Wicked Scribes Shera’s thoughts: Is he in a corn field? I like the background feel of this one. Despite that he looks pasted, not to shabby.

N/A

Series: Anthologies  Add it: Goodreads | Amazon Genre: N/A Source: ATUF Shera’s thoughts: The charcoal transparent over the cover is a nice touch, but I think it’s too much.  If they were trying to blend in the different photos it’s slick, but other then that I don’t think it’s necessary. Love the skirt.

Wednesday Wishes: Movie Edition

This is a first for a WW post, movie love’in! There’s been some great stuff that’s coming to theatres.

The City of Bones trailer has been out for a while, but I’ve been really nervous about it. However, this trailer has put me at ease. Though I will admit they’ve really dressed up the characters too much.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, is not based on any book that I’m aware of, but it still looks awesome! Great twist on a classic.

Warm Bodies is based of a book. Apparently it is an Adult title (the author made a huge stink about it quite a while ago) and it looks like  really funny romantic comedy.

Beautiful Creates, the book bored me to tears and never finished it. The movie looks interesting, and I think this version I’ll be able to get through it.

Now I while ago I bought The Host when it finally got its first paperback print. I’ve felt guilty ever since, Meyer just don’t isn’t write stuff I’ve liked. However, this trailer of The Host is EPIC. Beyond excited to see this one.

Well kiddies that’s it for now. All of them don’t come out until 2013, so we’ll just have to lust for a while. (I left The Hobbit off the list, because that one does not need to be listed. It’s a no brainer!)

Cover Coveting(11)

Some great covers! Every time I look at a batch of covers I always wonder what went on behind the design teams mind? What were they going for? Different? Genre feel?

Anywho . . . enjoy!

Night Bound by Lynn Viehl
