Covers So Lovely We'd Lick Them! (10)

The new feature co-created and co-hosted by LadyViolet and Jess hearts books where we show off a book cover which we find so damn scrumptious that we'd actually be willing to lick it! Every week we each pick a different cover so be sure to check both blogs!

My Pick for this Week

Darkest Mercy by Melissa Marr

I received Darkest Mercy for review earlier this week, and as soon as I saw this beautiful cover I knew it was going to be my pick for this week. All of the Wicked Lovely books are stunning, there definitely some of my favourite covers out there and this one doesn’t disappoint in fact it’s one of my favourites! So much detail goes into these covers pretty colours, a gorgeous model, pretty swirly vines around the titles, lots of glitter and sparkles to boot. These covers completely sell the book positively screaming look how pretty we are pick me pick me! I’m not a huge fan of the faerie books that I have read but I don’t mind the Wicked Lovely series. I much prefer the books about Ash, Seth and co and since the final book is about them I’m really eager to read it to see how everything turns out. I think that when you pick these books up you expect to be drawn into a world about beauty and magic and that really is the case with the Wicked Lovely books. I love the covers for this series and if I could hang them up around my house as art I totes would! So that’s my cover for this week. Feel free to leave me comments letting me know what you think of this week’s pick and if you ever get insane lust over a book cover, does a lovely cover influence you buying the book? Let me know and don’t forget to stop by Rachel’s blog to find out what cover she’d like to Lick this week!

February Round Up and Book of the Month!

February’s book of the month is…Paranormalcy by Kiersten White!
