Recreate A Cover Challenge

Over at Princess Bookie there is a contest where you have to recreate the cover of the book You Wish. I loved doing this and the idea was such a great one. Im not a big fan of how the cover came out but at least I had fun lol. I have seen some great covers though so you really should go check them out.

Here is the cover I made.

Book Blogger Hop (2)

Book Blogger Hop
The Book Blogger Hop is hosted by crazy-for-books and is great for checking out new blogs and seeing what is up in the book blogging world. 

This Week's Question:
 Who is your favorite new-to-you author so far this year?

This is a hard one because there is two that I was introduced to this year that both write amazing books. I think I'll just talk about both. First there is Maggie Stiefvater. I got Shiver from a book club me and my friends have and I fell in love. Then about a month late, luckily for me, Linger came out and I fell in love again. Her writing draws you in and the guy characters she writes, wow. Secondly there is Holly Black. I had heard such wonderful things about White Cat and when I got it, I dropped the book I was reading for school and sat down and read it. I was not dissapointed. There is so much suspense and the idea of the book is so great and you wonder how someone can come up with it.


So What Do you think of these authors and what author(s) is your favorite new-to-you author?

About The Site

I bet you're sitting there in front of your computer dieing to know "What is the mortal book club?" Well don't worry because the wait is over and I am going to explain to you how the site works right now. To make it more fun and organized it's going to be in question and answer form.


How will it work?

Every two weeks new books will be chose and there will be a form where you can sign up for which books you want to read. You can read all of them or just one. Then during those two weeks I will make posts with books like quotes, quizzes, contests, etc. There will also be forum where you can discuss everything and anything about the book with other people who are reading it. At the end of the two weeks their will be a survey seeing how you liked the books and such and then you can suggest things for the future.


How many books will there be every two weeks?

I am going to start with 3 books. From there I may make it more or less.


When will all this fun start?

It will start on August 7th so you don't have too long to wait. Don't forget to save the date! Untill then e-mail or comment some book suggestions, check out the forum, or other things on the site.


Do I have to Participate every time?

Nope. You can participate the first time, take the second time off, and participate again the third.


What if I don't like any of the books?

Either suggest some books or give one of them a try, you may end up liking it.
