#coverlove tag

i've been really wanting to do this tag (and even considered stealing it after seeing Sarah's post ;), but Lila Kims from The Red-Hooded Writer  kindly tagged me. ;)


disclaimer. 

school's been getting really busy lately (i had sat subject tests today x_x), and for some reason, blogger's been acting up + won't let me schedule posts. so, just fyi: some weeks, i won't be posting, and on the days i do, it'll probably be late. i'm sorry, but the next few months are going to be crazy with college apps and essays and midterms. so, i'd really appreciate your patience ;). i'm going to try my best and post every week, but it might not happen. sorry, guys :(.

RULES

Thank the blogger who tagged you and link back to their blog (thank you, Lila! <3)

Nominate seven other bloggers and let them know they've been tagged

1. a book cover you hate that is your favorite color 

yellow has recently become one of my favorite colors, primarily because it reminds me of summer + just makes me smile. ;) 

but this book cover *gags*. sorry, i just don't like it, xD. i also really did not like the book, so that might be a reason why i don't like the cover, xD. 

2. a book cover that doesn't fit with the story 

uhhhh, maybe i'm just missing it, but i don't really know why this is the cover?? i kinda want it to be more mysterious + creepy (sorta simple yet creepy? ya'know?) , although i do like the blurriness of the words. but overall, i don't think it really fits with the story. 

3. a book cover you wish could be your WIP's cover

it's gorgeous. and i wish i could use it for my current WIP, "versus" post coming soon all about it ;)

4. a book cover with a design that's too simple 

i love the Naturals series so much (it's like bones + criminal minds, but with teenagers), but i'm not a giant fan of their covers. they seem too simple...sorta like stock photos. idk, i just wish they looked better ;).

5. a book cover that immediately made you want to read the book

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL *heart eyes*. it's my favorite maggie stiefvater cover (although The Scorpio Races is really pretty too ;)

6. a book cover that is a pretty accurate depiction of your life right now

yup. 

that's my life now. ;)

basically, everything's changing (it's senior year). college apps. essays. my job. new responsibilities. everything normal has flipped upside down and i feel like i'm drowning in a sea of assignments, exams, + stress. 

and that got way more depressing than i had originally meant, so apologies. ;) it's all good, and i know that this season of craziness + change will soon pass. and i'm starting to enjoy it more, as my mom keeps reminding me that this is a special time and i'll look back with fond memories. so i'm enjoying the times spent driving me and my friends to classes (i'm the only one with a driver's license, so i'm the designated uber, xD). spontaneous movie nights. walks with my parents up to get coffee. ;)

7. a book cover with a clever incorporation of the title and/or author's name

i like how the title is on the wall, sorta like the message is scrawled on the wall in the book ;). 

                            

MY QUESTIONS

1. most aesthetic-y book cover 

2. favorite autumn book cover

3. least favorite cover edition of a good book
