Weekly Obsessions

The awesome Kelly at KellyVision started posting a weekly post highlighting whatever she happened to be obsessed with that week. I LOVE this idea, so much in fact that I will be doing it myself every Saturday.

So much awesomeness was revealed this week. We have jaw dropping covers, sequel titles, and some fairytale movie news that got me VERY excited.

Here are my obsessions this week:

BOOKS

cover for The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd


So pretty and fits the mood of the synopsis so well. I am super excited for this one, because it sounds like a Gothic thriller with a love triangle. You can see the Goodreads synopsis here.

cover for Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi


I may have mentioned that I adore the new Shatter Me cover. Very excited to see that Unravel Me has a similar cover. Seriously, jaw dropping doesn't even begin to describe these new covers. The layer of detail is astounding. I NEED this book (like yesterday). Add it to your Goodreads shelf.

Cover for Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi


A novella told from Warner's point of view. I love the darker quality of this cover. The tag line "She will choose me" has grabbed my attention. I am excited to read something from Warner's perspective. He's one of those layered villains that you end up enjoying. Add it to your Goodreads shelf.

Title for the second Blood of Eden series by Julie Kagawa 

An intriguing title was just released for the second novel in Julie Kagawa's series. The Eternity Cure will be released sometime in May 2013. The title brings to mind a cure for Allison, and maybe other vampires. Add it to your Goodreads shelf.

cover for Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff


Isn't it pretty? The synopsis sounds creepy (a serial killer?!) and really awesome. I was sold by the synosis alone, and now add in this amazing cover - can I have it now?! Add it to your Goodreads shelf.

cover for Boundless by Cynthia Hand


Pretty! I wasn't even aware that the title for this one had been released and all of a sudden I spot a cover on Goodreads. Having just finished Hallowed I am excited to see how this story will end.

cover for Pivot Point by Kasie West


The synopsis describes this one as being similar to the movie Sliding Doors. Immediately grabbed my attention. I love the premise of living two realities and having to select which one you want to permanently live out. Intriguing, and once again Harper Collins leaves me pining after a book. Add it to your Goodreads shelf.

MOVIES

Disney is releasing a live action movie that is being told from the perspective of Maleficent. Very excited for this and Angelina looks great in this first image.

TV

Dexter season 7 trailer

SPOILERS FOR SEASON 6!!!



Heavy spoilers for season 6. All I will say about this amazing promo is Michael C Hall is perfection. This man is one of the most under rated actors in Hollywood. Effortless and flawless talent. He's chilling, yet so charming as the serial killer Dexter. The other thing I want to say is - I can't wait to see the fallout from the season 6 finale. Everything changed in that one moment for Deb and Dex. Sniff...I still miss Rita.

So what you are obsessed with this week?

  1. Thanks for sharing my cover. There are so many amazing covers being revealed. That Paper Valentine one caught my eye on Goodreads the other day too and the summary creeped me out.

  2. Sooooo many amazing cover reveals lately! One comes out and then BAM another, and my eyes threaten to fall out of their sockets from bulging so much at the pretty <3

    Unravel Me/Destroy Me are both stunning and so unique. REALLY eager to get a glimpse into Warner's mind... and maybe a little scared :P I'm not a huuuge fan of the US covers for the Unearthly series. The photography and text are BEAUTIFUL, but they always feel so washed out because of the whole one-colour tone thing. Either way, super eager for Boundless!!

I love comments. Thank you for stopping by my blog and thank you even more for leaving me a comment.

I have decided to make this an awards free blog. I appreciate the gesture, and love that you thought of my blog, however I simply can't pass them along as required.
