Summer Blogger Promo Tour: Names and Book Titles with Next Page Please!


   The Summer Blogger Promo Tour was created by The Book Bratz as a fun way to promote blogs and make blogger friends.

Today I have Kaitlin from Next Page Please!


   Today I asked Kaitlin to spell her name with book titles! So I'll let her take it away!

   Hello Stephanie's readers! Welcome back to the Summer Blogger Promo Tour, I am excited to be here! Today, I am going to spell my name out in book titles and explain to you why I chose em! So, let's get to it. Also, I'm going to not use the "The's" because if I didn't this post would take me a year to write due to how uncommon the letters in my name are. Hope you guys enjoy.


(The) Kissing Booth
Anna and the French Kiss
If I Stay
These Broken Stars
Let's Get Lost
I Was Here
Never Fade


The Kissing Booth by Beth Reekles

Why I Chose this Book: Hah, honestly most of the reasons you will get for this question is just because it was the only book I could find that had the letter I needed. This book especially because I rarely read books that have a title that start with the letter K. I did enjoy this book though. It was a cutesy contemporary and just gah! Made me so happy and blushy and :D.


Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

Why I Chose this Book: I know I could have chosen so many other books but this one is one of my favorite contemporaries. Gah this one was cutesy as well. I think I finished it in 2 days because it was the most addicting thing ever. The story was adorable, the characters are adorable, everything about this book was adorable.


If I Stay by Gayle Forman

Why I Chose this Book: Hah legit this book made my cry and sob and then become happy. This book just gave me a huge emotional roller coaster. Gayle wrote it so nicely and the plot is great. I thought the movie was great as well. However, I liked this book a lot more than Where She Went because If I Stay was a lot more interesting, in my opinion.


These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

Why I Chose this Book: I read this on my trip around Canada and loved it. The duo perspective was great, I loved the plot and how it grew, and just the writing. I'm actually super sad that they didn't continue Lilac and Tarver's story. I think Tarver is in This Shattered World but for me, I want more. Hehe...



Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid


Why I Chose this Book: Ohhh if you know me, I have talked about this book so much. Let's Get Lost is one of my favorite books and it was a great read. I'm pretty sure Stephanie can agree with me. I loved the writing, characters, and the plot in general makes it a great read. If you were to ask me for recommendations, this would be one of them.


I Was Here by Gayle Forman

Why I Chose this Book: This is Gayle Forman's most recent book and I thought it was pretty good. It wasn't great and mind blowing but a pretty good read. It probably isn't for everyone but I liked it.


Never Fade by Alex Bracken

Why I Chose this Book: This is the only book on this list I haven't read. I actually haven't read any book that is part of this trilogy but with Passenger coming soon I think I may need to hurry up and read this trilogy before her new book. People RAVE about this trilogy so when I finally get to it, hopefully I will enjoy the trilogy.


Thanks everyone for reading this post! I hope you enjoyed and maybe found some books you may want to read.


   Thanks for stopping by Kaitlin! You can follow her here:


   2 more people to go! I can't wait to introduce to them!

Ohana Talks: International Covers


   The first thing that normally catches people's eyes with books is their covers. Over the years you tend to see a lot of them, but along the way authors tend to post the covers for the different editions of their books. Being in a German immersion for 9 years of my life, I needed to do a German book report or two. Thus me discovering International editions of books. While I have multiple German favourite covers, these are five of my favourite international covers.

( These are in no particular order.)

The Secret Diamond Sisters

Australian Edition

Michelle Madow
Harlequin Teen AUS


What I Love:

   When you think about Las Vegas, you tend to think of gambling, dice games, or card games. So of course it makes sense that the suits of a card deck would be on the cover! The 3D shapes of the different suits is incredible! Along with the simplicity of it all, the AUS cover for The Secret Diamond Sisters is easily a favourite of mine.



If I Stay

Indonesian Edition 

Gayle Forman
Gramedia Pustaka Utama 


What I Love:

   The snowfall is somewhat a major factor in the events that occurred in If I Stay. So to me the scene in this cover photo could have been what was happening around the accident.


Cinder

Spanish Edition

Marissa Meyer
Circulo de Lectores 

What I Love:

   For the Spanish cover of Cinder, this is what I think the American cover should have looked like. It is almost the exact same as the American one but with one difference, the shoe is red rather then clear/crystal. In the original story of Cinderella the shoes is always crystal clear, besides the fact the the American cover matches the Scarlet and Cress cover's better with red. I still enjoy the crystal heels better.


Die for Me

German Edition

Amy Plum
Loewe Verlang 

What I Love:

   The german Die for Me cover reminds me of what I picture Europe would like be in the second World War. That's the time Vincent is from, so it'd make sense that way. It also has the hint of France to it, the street, the Eiffel Tower, the french silhouettes. The feel of the cover is more of a picture feel rather then a book cover feel.


My True Love Gave to Me

UK Edition

Edited by Stephanie Perkins
Macmillan Children's Books


What I Love:

   Once again, I adore covers with simplicity. When you think of Christmas, Christmas lights are one of the main things of the Holiday to spread cheer. So with the lights arranged in the shape of a heart it truly brings out the theme of My True Love Gave to Me.



   What are some of your favourite International book covers? Let me know in the comments, I'd love to hear from you!
