February Book Haul!

There may be less days in February, but I didn't let that stop me from accumulating some great books! All of the books in this month's haul were sent to me buy Penguin Random House Canada - I'm so grateful and I just want to say thank you! It's been a month of such great books, let me tell ya.


From the top:

2. Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye
3. The High Mountains of Portugal by Yann Martel
4. The Passage by Justin Cronin
5. The Twelve by Justin Cronin
6. The City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin
7. If I Had a Gryphon by Vikki VanSickle & Cale Atkinson (Review here!)

Top Blue Covers | Top 5 Wednesday

This week's Top 5 Wednesday topic is your Top Blue Covers that you own! I scoured my bookshelves for the colour blue and to my surprise, I found that I don't actually have a lot of blue covers. The important thing though, is that the blue covers I do have are pretty cool.



I love this cover. Those who know me outside of the internet know I love Winter, so this cover, to me, is beautiful. The dreary-looking, snow-covered roads seem to be in a small town, which is another thing that interests me, so this cover draws me in and makes me want to be in the depicted scenery.



Another gorgeous cover! This cover has intrigued me since I first laid eyes on it, and I finally bought the novel last month. The details in the wild cat design are beautifully done, including the sleeping person in the literal mouth of the beast.



Trees and forests are another form of scenery I find beautiful. The iridescent cover adds to the mystery - are we seeing the Passage right now?



This is very simple and very stunning. I love the design of the flapper woman toward the bottom, and the title's font evokes the 1920s. In terms of colours, the gold writing is striking against the navy blue cover. This is one of my favourite book covers, period.

Read my reviews of the book and the movie!


And last but not least, TFiOS. There was no way this would not be on this list. I've always liked this: the black and white clouds contrast nicely against the sky blue cover and the cartoony clouds make it seem like you're in for a light, care-free read. That's incredibly ironic, given the novel's content.

What's your favourite blue cover?
