Top 5 Wednesday! May 20th 2015

Hey Lovelies!

Today's top 5 Wednesday is........ FAVOURITE DEBUT NOVELS!

This is a super difficult one for me as i don't usually pay attention to whether or not the book is a debut by an author so i had to do a lot of research! but enough of that ...Here we go! These are in no particular order but yes HP is my fav!!

1. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
2. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
3. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
4. Cinder by Marissa Meyer
5. Divergent by Veronica Roth

These will surely change as now I am focusing more on what books are debut!

Thanks for reading!!

Much love and Keep reading,

Rating Books! (My Star System!)

This is just a quick post about how I rate my books so that you all know what I mean when I give each review a certain Star rating!!
One Star: I couldnt even finish the book, or I hated it so much I only finished it to see if it happened to get any better!
Two Stars: I didnt like the book, It was far from the worst thing I have read but it needs a lot of work to make it a book that is worth me recommending to people!
Three Stars: Was a really good book but there were some elements that I felt needed to be included or excluded. Certain parts I loved while other parts... not so much
Four Stars: I enjoying this book a lot! Only very minimal annoyances that really do not bother me. I would 100% recommend this book to my fellow readers (Most books that I love would get this)
Five Stars: LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! This is a book that I find zero issues with (rare to give this to a book Harry Potter, Hunger Games and Divergent are the only ones I have given 5 to...so far) Five means I love this book so much that I probably have spent  more money then I have on extra little things related to the book -Hello Wizarding World of Harry Potter!-

Harry Potter Cover Love!

Hello my Loves!
How is everyone on this fine day??
Today I really just want to talk about the many different covers that have been released for the Harry Potter series!

I grew up with this story my cousin stayed up all night reading the second book out loud for us both to hear at one of our sleep overs. 

We have bonded over Harry Potter and so many others books for at least 15 years of our lives and its not something I see coming to an end any time soon. We have officially planned a visit to Universal Studios together so we can go and see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter together!! So excited!!

I have a mixture of the covers on my own shelves with the first book in the USA edition and the entire series in the... UK/Canada edition (actually 2 copies of chamber of secrets in that edition) so 9 all together and all the companion novels.

As I have been doing research for this blog I have found a variety of different covers that are out or coming out and every time we hear something -my cousin or myself- we will immediately contact the other and fill her in with our new found knowledge. The other day I did just that! When I found an article (http://io9.com/these-interactive-illustrations-make-harry-potter-even-1666263462 ) that talks about a set of books made by a girl for a school project - take a look they are amazing- when I texted my cousin she sent me a link to some scholastic covers that are being released and they changed my life! (http://www.buzzfeed.com/jarrylee/heres-the-cover-of-the-fully-illustrated-edition-of-hp) I am so excited for these new and improved books!

Now to change to some already released book cover changes! This first picture shows the glorious box set and just take in how amazingly beautiful the spines are... No words!!!

Weirdly enough these next books are actually my favorite of these two sets! I know I know a lot of you are probably calling my crazy... These are plain and boring and just weird colours that don't match the stories... 

I DONT CARE IF THATS ALL TRUE!! I'm in love!

These books are just my cup of tea, I love all the others but to have these simple and gorgeous covers on my shelf would be  something that would make me sooo happy! 

Tell me your favorite Harry Potter book covers!

Much Love & Keep Reading!
