My Favourite.....Book Cover



My Favorite.. is a weekly meme hosted by Maureen’s Books. In this meme we share every week something we love with each other. Because let’s face it.. The world can be a dark place and it’s time to share something positive. For more info: My Favorite Meme.

 This is another hard one for me.  I love books.  Reading takes up a huge chunk of my free time.  My children were helping attempt to organize my bookshelves last week and they pointed out that I have multiple copies of some books.  This is because they have different covers and sometimes when you are reading a long running series you are so excited to read the book you buy whatever one they have but then have to go back and buy the one that matches the ones you actually own.  Or am I the only one who does that???

 I am a huge fan of simple book covers, and my favourite book covers was actually for a book series that I loathed.  Which is hard to say because I read so few books that I dislike.  


Whether you like or dislike the books the covers are genius.  Simple, clean and crisp.  I admire that. 

 What is your favourite book cover?

    They are good covers, simple and I like the gray and black. I actually picked covers for a series I haven't read. The premise doesn't interest me, but I love the covers.

    Your definitely not the only one Melissa. I also buy other versions of the same book just so they can fit my collection! We're true bookworms I guess! LOL!
    I also love those covers of the Fifty Shades series. I own them too and they look so pretty.

    Thanks for signing up again! ;)

Making Mac and Cheese

Image
One of my favorite vegetables is butternut squash so when Chatelaine  posted this yummy looking recipe  for mac and cheese brimming with squash I immediately pinned it to make at a later time.  Now, before Pinterest  I am willing to admit, recipes got saved in my e-mail, but they never got made.  They just got lost in the shuffle; now they get neatly organized and displayed where I can go through them on a regular basis.  More importantly than that I can try them.   This recipe worked out well for me, I thought the cheese and squash tasted great together, the kids however did not agree.  They like their squash on the side, where they can control how much they ingest.  Next time I will definitely use less breadcrumbs though.

Spooktacular Giveaway Hop

When I was much younger than I am now, I loved nothing more that a good "spooky" story.  I spent many nights laying up in bed reading books that were designed to make your skin crawl and leave you with goose bumps. My personal favourite author for Young Adult Thrillers was and probably still is Christopher Pike.  Twenty years after reading his books some of them still stand out in my mind in perfect clarity.  The top one would be Remember Me. Something about Shari's story struck a chord with me that has echoed through the last twenty years, as any good book should I suppose. Sadly when I was a teenager I didn't hold on to as many books as I do now so I spend a lot of time hunting to replace the ones I really wish I had kept. (Sweet Valley High anyone?) I am giving away a $15 Amazon gift card in the hopes that you can use it to buy a book to be loved as much as I loved this one. a Rafflecopter giveaway This post is part of The Spooktacular Giveaw...
