I received this for review from Bloomsbury which I wasn't expecting which was a nice surprise as I loved her other books.

I spent a bit of my Christmas vouchers this week and I still have some left when I can narrow it down to what I want.

Changing Covers #8

Hi everyone welcome to my new weekly feature which all about covers that change either in the middle of the series or even when the series had finished. (The covers will mainly be UK changes but also from the USA.) I decided to do this feature as there has been so many cover changes it's hard to keep up.

I am not sure if anyone has done this particular feature so feel free to let me know so I can start linking it up to them. It is similar to other features that are out there but I'm hoping that this is different enough.

 

 

          Hardback                    Paperback 1           Paperback 2        

 

 

Delirium by Lauren Oliver

 

With this set of book cover changes I'm not actually sure which was first published and which is the latest the only one I know is the hardback. I love the hardback edition as at first glance it just looks simple with a plain background and then the title but when you look closely you can see a face in the title which I think looks so effective. The other two you can actually see the faces but you can't see all of them. I don't really understand why the paperbacks have been changed especially when they are pretty much the same idea. With the Paperback 1 I love the colours and my eye is immediately drawn to the title. With Paperback 2 I'm drawn to the eyes but with the title being just beneath it also makes the title stand out. Out of all of these cover changes I prefer the hardback which I have a copy of I just haven't read it yet so I don't know if there is any relevance to the story if any.

 

 

So that's my thoughts on Deliriums cover changes. Let me know what you think, do you agree? or do you disagree? Let me know in the comments below.

 

      

 

 

 

 

In My Mailbox #11

Hey Everyone Happy New Year :) I can't believe this is my first post of 2012 so here goes nothing...

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme that is hosted by The Story Siren. This is where we show what we have either bought or was given throughout the week gone by.









So I haven't done this for a couple of weeks so here is the books I received over the Christmas period:

Tempest by Julie Cross

I received this a couple of days before Christmas. This is a review book that I wasn't expecting as it was a while since I had asked for it so I just though they had run out. I am really looking forward to reading it, I hope it's as good as it sounds. A huge thanks goes out to St. Martin's Press for sending it to me :)

Christmas Presents

The Life of Lee by Lee Evans

                                     Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare

Dead Beautiful by Yvonne Woon

                                       Destined by P.C. and Kristin Cast

Carrier of the Mark by Leigh Fallon

Swaps

Delirium by Lauren Oliver

This book was a swap book from Misty over at UK Swap Shop on Goodreads. I have only recently wanted to read this book everyone just kept saying how good it is that I just have to find out what the fuss is about.
