It HAS to be Girl Crush, but specifically the one he did in Tokyo from the balcony. That was such an amazing performance even though his voice cracked a bit. What a brave, bold move to sing that song in front of that audience. It may not have been his most technically perfect performance of that song, but it makes my heart happy.

Seriously, and for him to sound so clear and strong. Oh be still my heart. This is totally on the top of my list. Thank you for sharing and making my dash brighter with this.

SOTD: José Gonzalez, “Heartbeats” (2005). In an alternate reality where I have tons more free time and extra motivation, I record an album called Difficult Voices, where I take amazing songs by people whose vocals or overall musical presentation is abrasive enough to keep more people from knowing and loving it. That concept is exactly what’s going on here.

The Knife’s original isn’t nearly as harsh as many of their other tracks, but the cold stabs of the electronics and Karin Dreijer’s icy voice keep it from being something that I’d share with more people. José Gonzalez does very little in the way of re-arranging or re-imagining the song. He plays it straight, but in his way. And utterly changes it into something undeniably beautiful.

9 FAVORITE COVERS (Off my Bookshelf)

I am obsessed with book covers and I’ve bought so many books because of the cover alone. Though I may not always like the book, I do alwayshave a pretty new book to display when I’m done. Unless I just want to read the story horribly bad, there have been many five star books that I hated the cover so I didn’t purchase it. It may not be the most intelligent way to go about it, but I have some gorgeous books to show off. While I am a romance writer, my love affair with books began with the fantasy genre so there are quite a few on this list. This was very hard to do because I like so many of my covers. I tried to pick my top five and couldn’t do it, but I was able to keep it down to nine.

1. Alice in Zombieland -Horror/teen fiction

                Not to be confused with Gena Showalter’s books by the same name, this is nearly identical Lewis Carrol’s “Alice in Wonderland”, other than certain words, characters, and objects being interchanged for something gory or disturbing. It was quite entertaining actually, but it was this cover that made me want it so much. It’s difficult to tell from the picture, but it’s like a hybrid of a paperback and hardcover.

2. Bad Girls Don’t Die -Paranormal thriller/teen fiction

                Full Disclosure, I haven’t actually read this one yet. I got it at a grab bag sale at a book store, but I love the haunting feeling and the vintage style. The lace mixed with the wood floor and her little t toes…it’s just so cute. The story sounds incredibly interesting too. A girl’s little sister becomes obsessed with an old doll and over time she changes and weird stuff is happening in their house. It’s the first book in a series. I’ll get to it eventually.

3. Faery Tales and Nightmares -Dark Fantasy/teen fiction

                Melissa Marr is and will always be one of my favorite authors. Everything the woman touches is gold. I am not a fan of short stories, but the cover alone was enough to make me not care. Then the fact that it was written by her, there was no way I wasn’t buying this book. It is good, but I just prefer much longer stories. The silver accents also make it glitter and the dress the model is wearing is fabulous.

4. Captive in the Dark -Dark romance/erotic romance

                *Sigh* This is my all-time favorite dark romance story ever. While I didn’t buy it because of the cover (I bought for the crazy ass prologue), the cover is what drew me to it and made me curious. I have mentioned that I hate half naked embracing couples on the cover of romance novels (it cheapens the story to me), however, I do like people on the cover. The entire series (3 books) is beautiful and I love that the faces aren’t showing. I like to imagine what they look like for myself.

5. Beautiful -Teen fiction

                This is one that my ‘pick a book by its cover’ method failed me horribly. This was one of the worst books I have ever read and I honestly didn’t get the point. It was supposed to be a cautionary tale of abuse, drugs, and coming of age, but it was really just lame. It had decent reviews so maybe I’m the odd man out. The simplicity of the cover with the lipstick writing and the model’s heavy makeup is a nice effect. Even though the book will never be read again, it still looks great on my bookshelf.

6. Another Pan -Dark Fantasy/teen Fiction

                I actually was already reading this series and this stunning cover was a happy surprise. The other books in the (Marlowe School) series were nowhere near this pretty. Each book is (kind of) its own story and this was a somewhat creepy retelling of Peter Pan. The moths are significant to the book(s) and the way her dress is draping as she is floating gives of the magical essence of the book.

7. Dirty Ugly Toy -Dark romance/erotic romance

                This is a new obsession of mine. Not only was the story incredible, but this cover is definitely one of the top ones. I almost didn’t include this because I just did a review a couple weeks ago and made a big deal out of the cover. I just love looking at it so I thought it deserved a place on the list. The little gray rips are consistent throughout the text of the novel and I thought that was stunning. Also, enough of her face is covered so my imagination can still have its fun.

8. Fever -Science fiction/teen fiction

                Every single book in this series (Chemical Garden) is stunning. They are each within the same vein, but this one is my favorite of the three. The plot is interesting and I enjoyed the books a lot, I just felt like it was a little mild for the incredible world she set up. I don’t remember the exact ages, but I think woman die at eighteen and men at twenty- five. The last aged generation is still alive, but they are about to die out. The thing I love about this is the cover could literally be a scene pulled out of the book. The detail is amazing and each of the other books are the same way.

9. Ink Exchange -Dark Fantasy/teen fiction

                This is the book that really started my obsession with books. I had enjoyed reading, but these books took me to another world.  I saw this cover and I had to refrain from sitting down in the bookstore and reading it right then. It is actually the second in the (Wicked Lovely) series and not only is it my favorite cover, but it’s also my favorite book in my favorite series ever. The other books are just as stunning, but the wings are incredible. The tattoo is significant to the story and I love that kind of detail.

*I would love to see some of your favorite covers! Thank you for visiting.

Check out this too #coolcover from @noexit! This 2-books-in-1 #policeprocedural has us flipping out 😄😱What follows: two tales of policeman Pat Coyne—a Dublin Dirty Harry. Headbanger: Garda Pat Coyne is a Dublin policeman who is passionately devoted to sorting out the world's problems. He sees cars, crime, pollution and golf as ominous signs of a disintegrating society. Coyne's principal mission is to deal with crime, Ireland's biggest growth industry. Though only a cop on the beat, he decides to take on the notorious gang leader, Drummer Cunningham. Sad Bastard: Garda Pat Coyne, aka "Mr. Suicide," is back. Injured in the line of duty, and living alone, he's become more obsessive and volatile, developing a fetish for women's knickers. When a body washes up on the docks, the prime suspect is none other than his son, Jimmy. Both Coynes are notorious for their spells of self-destruction. Coyne's estranged wife blames him, his mother-in-law berates him, and his therapist labels him psychotic. But when a duo of criminal thugs try to kill his boy, Coyne decides to straighten things out. #readcrime #favoritecover #coverreveal #mystery #crime #fictionaddiction #noexit #irishfiction #readmore (at Chicago, Illinois)

Again, I'm cheating a little. I picked up FALLING KINGDOMS a few years ago literally because the cover was so striking. The rest of the series covers are just as gorgeous. I've yet to see any covers that impress me more. Personal taste, I'm sure, but they're just beautiful to me, and give the perfect tone for the whole series. #writelifeapril #favoritecover #yafantasy #fallingkingdoms @morganrhodesya

Today's task for #jayjaysconstantfaerytalesvalentine is to share my #FavoriteCover. Since I shared my #FavoriteAuthor the other day, I thought I'd share some of my #FavoriteCovers on her books. 😊 . . . . But first, just who is my favorite author? Jayne Ann Krentz! I've met her and she's very nice. And I adore her stories so much that she is one of very few authors who I read (and collect!) if they publish "vanilla" books (or books without any paranormal/supernatural/mythical/fantastical elements). 😄😊❤ . . . . The books shown here include some of my MOST favorite books, as well as a few others that were easy to find amongst the books in my bedroom. Namely. . . 1. The Paid Companion by Jayne Ann Krentz writing as #AmandaQuick 2. Wait Until Midnight, also by AQ 3. Amaryllis by Jayne Ann Krentz writing as #JayneCastle 4. Zinnia, also by JC 5. Orchid, again by JC 6. River Road by #JayneAnnKrentz . I love these covers because books 1,2, and 6 have story elements on them and books 3-5 have flower titles and the flowers are on the covers! 😍❤ . . . . In other words, these are covers without live people! (Statuary, as shown on The Paid Companion, is fine by me!) I'm not a fan of people on the cover. And sooo many books have people as the focus of their covers! 😣🙈 . . . . It's been a few years since I last read The Paid Companion and Wait Until Midnight, but looking at their covers is enough to put me right back into their stories! 😄🎉😍❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #books #series #StHelensTrilogy #FavouriteCover #FavouriteCovers #FavouriteAuthor

SOTD: Sondre Lerche, “Human Hands” (2006). There’s no clever way to put this: I absolutely love what he does with this song. Elvis Costello’s original is an undeniably great song with a (to my ears) odd, over-studio’d production. But where the original threatens to feel a little plodding and precise, Sondre Lerche turns it into a lively, rapid-fire jazz piece. I feel like it even adds a new shine to the brilliant lyrics. One of those few cases when I prefer the cover to the original.
