Lusting for Covers (30)


Lusting for Covers is a weekly meme, held on Sunday, that allows bloggers to share their current cover obsession with fellow book lovers.

Here's what you do:

1- Take the graphic (left) to use on your post. Remember to give credit to the original host (TBQ).

2- Choose your own book cover that you've fallen in "lust" with in the past week. It can be new, old, a reprint, or even a book that is not yet out-- it's all up to you! If you find a cover that catches your eye, then showcase it on your blog, and let others see the pretty covers out there.

3- Copy the direct link to your own L4C post into the comment section on my post (when in doubt, use this link and then scroll down to find the post), and allow others to come and see what you picked!
(OPTIONAL):

4- Besides posting the picture of the book cover you chose, it's nice to provide the book summary, title, author, or a website link for the book. It's not required, but it can help you readers' to add more books to their own list! A brief "Why I choose this cover" is also appreciated, but not required.


NOTE: PLEASE link back to my blog (http://tbqspersonalbookpalace.blogspot.com) somewhere in your post, letting viewers know that it is my meme, not something you are trying to call your own. Failing to do so, with the intent of actually calling this your own work, will result in trouble! I hate threatening, but really, is it so hard to post a link that says "This meme is hosted by TBQ."? Link love is great, and actually quite easy-- please use it!

Here's my candidate for the week:

Infinite Days (Vampire Queen)







Author: Rebecca Maizel
Publisher/Publication Date: St. Martin's Griffin (August 3, 2010)
Summary (Amazon):
"Throughout all my histories, I found no one I loved more than you...no one."

Those were some of Rhode's last words to me. The last time he would pronounce his love. The last time I would see his face.
It was the first time in 592 years I could take a breath. Lay in the sun. Taste.
Rhode sacrificed himself so I, Lenah Beaudonte, could be human again. So I could stop the blood lust.
I never expected to fall in love with someone else that wasn't Rhode.
But Justin was...daring. Exciting. More beautiful than I could dream.
I never expected to be sixteen again...then again, I never expected my past to come back and haunt me...
Why?
I love the cover, with the model's brillant blue eyes and the, what looks like, silver streak she's crying. It's great! As a bonus, the book sounds amazing! :D I was lucky enough to win an ARC of this from LibraryThing's Early Reviewer's Program, but if I didn't have a copy already, I'd be eagerly awaiting August to buy my own!

Crave: A Novel of the Fallen Angels








Title: Crave
Author: J.R. Ward
Publisher/Publication Date: Signet (October 5, 2010)
Summary (Amazon):
Seven deadly sins. Seven souls that must be saved. One more no-holds- barred battle between a fallen angel with a hardened heart and a demon with everything to lose.
Isaac Rothe is a black ops soldier with a dark past and a grim future. The target of an assassin, he finds himself behind bars, his fate in the hands of his gorgeous public defender Grier Childe. His hot attraction to her can only lead to trouble-and that's before Jim Heron tells him his soul is in danger. Caught up in a wicked game with the demon who shadows Jim, Isaac must decide whether the soldier in him can believe that true love is the ultimate weapon against evil.

Why?
I'm very anxious to get this book-- the cover's amazing, the author is very talented, and the book sounds like another winner! All in all, sounds like a good deal, right? Sexy cover and the potential for a good story line? :D

Here's my candidate for the week:

Dark Peril (Carpathian)







Title: Dark Peril
Author: Christine Feehan
Publisher/Publication Date: Berkley Hardcover (August 31, 2010)
Summary (Amazon):
Dominic of the Dragonseeker Carpathians is on a desperate mission, in the very heart of enemy territory. Solange Sangria is one of the last of the jaguar people. She has long been fighting to save women who are able to shift from the hands of the man who slaughtered her family and everyone she loved-her own father. They are two warriors who have lived their lives alone. Now, a the end of their time, they find each other, a complication neither saw coming.

Why?
I'm a huge fan of Feehan's work to begin with, especially the Carpathian series, which I adore! But this cover is smokin'!  I want a man like the alpha Carpathian males shown here! :D I'm anxious to read Dominic and Solange's story, since their budding relationship has been hinted at in the past few books...
