Title: One Night That Changes Everything
Author: Lauren Barnholdt
Release Date: July 6


Four dares – Two secrets – One night

Eliza is in a full-blown panic. Her notebook has been stolen—the one that lists everything she wants but is afraid to go after. And the absolute worst person in the world has it: her ex-boyfriend, Cooper.

Like it’s not enough Cooper was lying to Eliza for their entire relationship, now he and his friends are blackmailing her. They’re giving her just one night to complete the most humiliating tasks on her list or they’ll post her secrets online—including the ones that aren’t just about her.

Eliza’s sure of only one thing: she isn’t going down without a fight. Cooper may have what’s left of her dignity, but she’s not the only one with something to hide …

Sounds really good, and I really like the cover!

Cover Combat: Pants On Fire

In Cover Combat I compare Swedish covers to the US and/or UK covers of the same books. Today, I'm comparing the covers of Pants on Fire by Meg Cabot.

US Cover:
(Title: Pants on Fire)

UK cover:
(Title: Tommy Sullivan is a Freak)



Swedish cover:
(Title: Katie Ellison doesn't lie)


So which cover is your favorite?
Mine is probably the US cover, but since that's the edition I own I might be biased...
The UK cover looks a bit childish IMO, since the book is intended for older teens. The Swedish cover? Well her facial expression looks a bit stupid. And Katie isn't stupid, she's just impulsive.
Oh, and since we're having a cover combat, we might as well have a title combat!

Which title do you like the most, and which cover do you prefer?

Summer Break Reading Challenge

KarinLibrarin is hosting a Summer Break Reading Challenge, and since summer=reading in my eyes, I wanted to join! The challenge started this Wednesday and will end in the end of August.

Since I just joined I missed the first activity, so here's the second one!

Choose a book or a book series, locate for example your book reviews of said books, and create a wordle!

I chose to use my reviews of the Vampire Academy series, and here's my Wordle:

Nice, huh? Click here to join this challenge.
