Today is thursday which means that is Book Traveling Thursdays, a weekly meme created by me and Danielle @ Danielle’s Book Blog. This weekly meme consists in picking a book related to the weekly theme that is announced in the group Goodreads page (if you want to join click here) at the beginning of each month. After that you can write a blog post where you explain why you choose that book and choose different covers from different countries. To make it a little bit easy you are going to choose different editions of the original cover, the cover from your country, your favorite cover, and your least favorite cover.

Hi guys! Once again I’m here to talk about some of my favorites of 2015. I already told you about my Top 10 Favorite Books of 2015 and my Top 10 Favorite TV Shows of 2015(here and here) and today I’m going to be talking about my Top 10 Favorite Book Covers of 2015. Everyone loves a good book cover and you know that I love book covers so much that I created a weekly meme about it so I had to do this top.

This top is all about covers and not about content so I think that I should also choose a few books I haven’t read yet. Continue reading

T5W – Favorite Title Fonts on Covers
It’s that time of the week again when I bring you the Top 5 Wednesdays, created by gingerreadslainey. If you want to know how T5W works you can go to the Goodreads group by clicking here. This weeks theme is Top 5 Favorite Title Fonts on Covers. I really like to appreciate the aesthetics of book covers but to be honest fonts is the last thing that I tend to notice. However this list made appreciate the fonts and understand how important they are in the final cover So let’s start this list.
The Lunar Chronicles – Marissa Meyer
I think that this font is really beautiful and it adds something to the cover itself. Not only that but it also looks a little bit futuristic for some reason 🙂 .
The Peach Keeper (Portuguese Edition)– Sarah Addison Allen
This is one of that books that I don’t hear anyone talking about and it makes me a little bit sad because Sarah Addison Allen has beautiful books. To be honest I love all of the portuguese edition covers of Sarah Addison Allen’s books and I think that the font is one of the things that caught my attention when I first saw this book (that and the beautiful cover also). The thing is that I really like the handwritten fonts and this one is just beautiful. However I’m mad now because the last book that was released here didn’t have this type of cover (an font) and now it doesn’t match with all the other beautiful books that I have that were written by the author.
Confess – Colleen Hoover
I really like the font that is used in this cover (and I loved the book). I like how the title is the main point of the cover and I love the colors used in the font. Is really gorgeous.
My Heart and Other Black Holes – Jasmine Warga
One thing I love in titles is when people mix different fonts in the title. I do it a lot of the times in my post headers. Because of that I really like the fonts used in this cover. One thing important is that the different fonts need to look good when they are together and it really worked in this cover.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower – Stephen Chbosky
What a shock!! The Perks of Being a Wallflower in one of my lists (like it doesn’t happen almost every week 😛 ). I really love how the title looks handwritten and the words in the back. It really makes a beautiful cover.
Honorable Mentions:
These are some of my favorite book title fonts. What about you? Which books did you included in your top? Tell me in the comments.

Confess by Colleen Hoover – Review
Publication Date:
March 10th 2015
Publisher:
Atria Books
Goodreads Synopsis:
Auburn Reed has her entire life mapped out. Her goals are in sight and there’s no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn’t expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry.
For once, Auburn takes a risk and puts her heart in control, only to discover Owen is keeping major secrets from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it.
The last thing Owen wants is to lose Auburn, but he can’t seem to convince her that truth is sometimes as subjective as art. All he would have to do to save their relationship is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin…
Review:
I started this book one night saying to myself “Let´s read just a few chapters”. It didn’t happen and I stayed up until 4 am. This always happens to me when I’m reading Colleen Hoover’s books. Like always I started this thinking that I was going to be crying by the end of the book. While this was true I can also say that I started crying in the second page.
The book starts when Auburn, the main protagonist, is fifteen years-old and loses the most important thing of her life. Six years later she leaves everything behind and moves to a new city. It is here that she meets Owen, a talented artist that has an art gallery. One of the things I loved the most in this book was the concept of Owen’s art gallery “Confessions”, a gallery where scraps of paper with anonymous confessions are left. Is in this confessions that Owen gets inspiration for his paintings. After the moment that they meet we see their interactions and how they feel about each other. Being a Colleen Hoover’s book it is already known that is going to be heart-breaking and beautiful. I really loved this book and how Auburn and Owen life’s interconnected. My only problem with this book was the lack of an epilogue. I need to know what happened next.
Overall this was an amazing book that shows a girl who does anything for the person she loves the most, even if this is going to hurt her. Like always, after reading this book I know that I will keep reading all of her Colleen Hoover’s books because they are always so real and beautiful where the characters are shown with flaws and make mistakes like in real life. If you want a book that will make you feel all the feelings this is the right book for you.
