New French covers spotted in the store!

Holaaaa! This morning I went to the store and decided to take a look at the new books on the shelves. Here’s what I found:

1

Vampire City by Rachel Caine. Yep I looked at the blurb and this is actually Glass House (Morganville Vampires #1). It’s a nice cover but it doesn’t really catch the eyes.

I had to take a picture of this one. Vampire Academy: Soeurs de Sang <== Blood Sisters.  Which is the 1st book in the Vampire Academy series.

  • Chamane by P.C. Cast, which is  Brighid’s Quest . I LOVE this cover. SO much better than the original one
  • Sauve mon âme ! by Rachel Vincent. Again I like the cover way better than the cover of the original: My Soul to Keep

Those 2 covers look so great in real. The picture doesn’t do them justice.

Now onto the rant part.

This is the YA/Children part of the store.  And yes, True Blood is shelved in this section O_o . I’m pretty sure they didn’t know where else to put this book. O_o. This is frustrating.

When you see a book shelved in the wrong section, what do you do?

I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes! I had the best birthday ever! So thank you to everyone who helped make it a perfect day for me <3 A special thanks to the amazing members of Book Lovers Inc. You ladies are just awesome!

This week I finally finished a secret project for a Xmas gift (I can’t tell  what it is for now lol), and I made the package yesterday…which was not a good idea. Because yesterday, I was also celebrating my Bday with lots of alcohol lol.  So…to the recipient of that package… I’m SORRY! LOL

Are you all done with your Xmas present shopping/making?

I’m sooooo far from done O_o It’s scary!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

  3. Oh I loose my freaking mind..I really do.

    I found Sherilyn Kenyon's Night Pleasures in the kiddie section. Sight, vamps do not mean YA. I mean the sex scenes there. There was some other book too but now I can't remember..but it annoyed me so much.

    Lol, I can go on and on, what annoys me at the library is that the sookie books are in the horror section. This tiny section that no one else than peeps who reads Stephen Kings visits.

  4. @Blodeuedd Gahhhh this is exactly the problem here, since nearly 80% of the YA books feature vampires, they put vampire books there. O_O NO NO! Not for kids!

    For what it's worth, in the adult romance section there was one YA book by Rachel Vincent...and the 2nd in the series was in the YA section. O_o Mehhh And since it's a wallmart kinda store and not a bookstore...I can't say anything. They don't freaking care lol.

    In the UF sections, the books aren't even alphabetized by author...just randomly put.*eye twitching* lol

    Sookie? Horror? LMAO

    Damn I wish I had a bookstore to put things right lol

  5. Some awesome covers there! Sometimes US covers seem very... same-y to me, and make me very glad I get the UK covers. The french covers are lovely.
    I have a few presents still to get, but luckily this year I really didn't have many people to buy for.

  6. @Ailsa I agree, some of the UK covers are even better than the US ones. But not for every genre. I find UK UF covers often not as good as the original. But in Historical romance? UK winner! I often wish I could get all my favorite Historical in UK covers. =P
    Gah..I don't have THAT many person to get a gift for but I'm still wayyyyy behind. I tried going to a store yesterday and it was packed! Too many people. Mehh
    Courage Xmas will be over soon lol ;) Have a great week!
