Captain Hook gave me this e-book copy of Shadows.

It's the US version of the cover. I like the UK cover more than the US version. The UK version has a creepy one-eyed girl on it. The US cover looks less creepy, in my opinion. Covers with real faces/faces that remotely look real always creep me out. 

Book Review: Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick

(I can't really vouch for online bookstores other than MPH, because I haven't use their service. But, MPH is quite good, I've bought The Hunger Games trilogy paperback box set from them last year, and it arrived around a week after I placed the order, I think, and it's in mint condition).

That, my friend, is my crappy photographing and photoplacing blogging skill, teehee. 

That cover is beautiful and creepy at the same time and that's exactly the reason I bought this book (I know, I shouldn't judge a book by its cover). Well, I'm one of those people who impulsively buy books based on the cover alone. 

2013 TBR Pile Reading Challenge

So I decided to join this fun challenge which I just found out about. Hosted by Evie from Bookish. Check out her post for more details. I'm pretty late in the club as we're already at the end of 2013. But, well, I'm doing it. When I feel like doing anything, I just do it.
