Top Ten Favorite Covers!

This is my first time participating on Top Ten Tuesday! Yay! It's hosted by The Broke and the Bookish! =) This week it's all about the covers!

The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray

 Seeing that it's not really the dress but the corset that is showing makes me really like plus the lace that she's holding adds to it.

Nevermore by Kelly Creagh

I love how dark the cover is but the pink dress gives it a pop of color. Plus I love that there's writing on it that is visible enough to know it's there.

Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

Them standing in the middle of the road holding hands is something that I love about the cover.

Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

Yeah. The moment I saw this one I knew that I loved the cover.

Torment by Lauren Kate

I really like how the dress is dark but the background is lighter.

Die For Me by Amy Plum

Since red is my favorite color and my dream is to go to Paris, I couldn't not put this one one the list.

Paranormalcy by Kiersten White

I just think that cover is beautiful!

Envy by Anna Godbersen

This is one of my favorites. Mainly because of the dress, how I wish I had one like that! =)

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

Love how they're under the water. There's something about this one that makes me love it.

The Statistical Probablitity of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

Like I said, red is my favorite color and having the cover in black and white with a pop of red is something that I loved. I also don't see a lot of black and white covers.

What covers do you like?

In My Mailbox (48)

In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren! I went to Borders yesterday and I picked up some books that I had been wanting to read for a while.

Bought:
Bright Young Things by Anna Goderbersen
I read Anna's Luxe series and I love it so I'm hoping this one is just as good!

Paranormalcy by Kiersten White
Hearing all the good things that everyone keeps saying made me really want to read it!

Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready
This was one that I had been wanting to read since it was first published and I'm super happy that I finally have it!

What did you get this week? =)

Splendor by Anna Godbersen

Title: Splendor

Author: Anna Godbersen

Published: November 2009

Pages: 391

Rating: 4/5

Summary:
New beginnings.

Shocking revelations.

Unexpected endings.

A spring turns into summer, Elizabeth relishes her new role as a young wife, while her sister, Diana, searches for adventure abroad. But when a surprising clue about their father's death comes to light, the Holland girls wonder at what cost a life of splendor comes.

Carolina Broad, society's newest darling, fans a flame from her past, oblivious to how it might burn her future. Penelope Schoonmaker is finally Manhattan royalty—but when a real prince visits the city, she covets a title that comes with a crown. Her husband, Henry, bravely went to war, only to discover that his father's rule extends well beyond New York's shores and that fighting for love may prove a losing battle.

In the dramatic conclusion to the bestselling Luxe series, New York's most dazzling socialites chase dreams, cling to promises, and tempt fate. As society watches what will become of the city's oldest families and newest fortunes, one question remains: Will its stars fade away or will they shine ever brighter?

Review: All the characters had to go through dificult things to the ending that was waiting for them. Those who think that they can go through life without paying what they have done to others will get a big surprise. And those who are just trying to move on in live will finally get what they deserve.

As the book continued it took turns that I think some of the characters dexerved for making the life of others impossible. Penelope got a taste of her own mean ways and because of this she was left hurt and talked about. Carolina thought she could live the life that she had always dreamed of and at the end saw that it wasn't all that it seemed like.

All the characters that had suffered from the beginning finally got the ending they needed. Elixabeth had to go through some difficult times before she could finally end up with Teddy. At the beginning it looked like she had finally found a place to be until she finds out some stuff that had been kept from her.

Diana's story was one that was kind of expecting but not quite. She goes on a journey to find Henry and when she finally does she thinks the world is finally where it's supposed to be. They both have to go through some thinking and at the end Diana realizes that maybe Henry isn't what's meant for her.

This book was the last of the series. I think it ended well and closed the stories that each character had. I really enjoyed reading the series and know that the ending the characters had was probably the best they could have. I can't wait to read Anna's new series!
