Movie talk. So while at the Redbox I ended up in a talk about great movies with some people. Where so far there movies of the year happened to be Finding Dorie, Captain America: Winter Soldier, and You Before Me. However, none of those would have even made my list by default. I was baffled that these fellow "movie buffs" hadn't even heard of The Nice Guys. A movie I fond to have phenumial writing, acting, and visually stunning. It was action packed, moments of horror, sexy times, and plenty of brilliant humor.

They hadn't even watched The Shallows.

Movie snooting aside, I started to wonder why people don't branch out from the block busters more? I enjoy them, but most of the time I kind of end up more bored than entertained anymore.

Random thought done. Let's look at some lovely covers.

Shera’s thoughts:

Every time a new cover drops for this series I'm blown away! I find there's something off with her body . . . over posing. However, I still love it and she's fully dressed. Yeah!

Though I think I'd wear something even warmer in winter gear.

I'm a huge fan of Galenorn's Indigo Court, Otherworld, and Fly by Night covers. They're stunning.

I like that even though she's going self pub she's been delivering fairly solid covers. Even Fury Unbound books are pretty awesome.

Shera’s thoughts:

J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series is a testament of horrible covers, not being able to hold back awesome writing. Or story.

While great books may not always be able to escape bad covers, it's nice to know the publishers are confidant enough in this series to keep going with them.

Goodreads | Amazon


The Continent  (The Continent #1) Series: The Continent, book 1

Add it: Goodreads | Amazon

What a simply lovely cover. It takes my breath away.

The title just blends in a bit too much, but maybe that's the affect they wanted.
