Reelz


It hasn't been awhile since my very first movie review and I got to thinking that I should make a feature for anything visual related that I wanted to share with you guys (except for covers since they have their own). Reelz is where these posts will be under in:

Book Trailers
I just love watching them. They really do pump up the excitement for books and not to mention, they make me want a movie so bad!

Movie/TV shows reviews
I don't want to stray too far from the main focus of my blog which is books so I'll mostly review the types that are based on books, usually in a face-off format being: Books vs. Movies/TV shows. If I haven't read the book or if I think that they are book-worthy instead (Movies/shows that I think could have been great books) then I'll just review as I would review a book. Occasionally I might review non-book-related ones if I really feel strongly towards them.

Character Casting
Sometimes, I spend hours and hours surfing the web trying to find the perfect faces to act as my visual for book characters. It's like figuratively speaking of "characters coming into life". Once again, they really do make me want a movie of a book! Imagination gets the best of me and I'd get to thinking I'm a director/producer or something. Hey, a girl can dream!

This is not a scheduled meme, guys. I'm just going to posting these if I have anything to show but please do watch out for it!

Hello everyone! I was just thinking of ways to personalize this blog without straying too far from what it's really about.. books. 


I am a music oriented person. When I was a kid, I was a soloist as well as a choir member. My dad was a member of it when he was a teen as well, so I guess you can say it's in the genes. Anyways, music IS a part of my life. It makes me think, it makes me feel and it helps me LIVE. From hip-hop to classics, to rock, I don't have any reservations. As long as it sounds good to me! Did I bore you too much with a background story? 


Anyways, let's get on to introducing yet another new feature I'm going to start here in Everything A-TO-C. Without further ado, I give you...

Basically, this is where I would post anything audio related such as:

Book Soundtracks
Whether for a certain scene or the whole book, songs can applied to it and this is what it's for! Sometimes authors create their own for a book so some of my posts might not be personally made playlists.

Audiobook reviews
My first experience with an audiobook was when my teacher forced the whole class to read Animal Farm, I believe and over the years, I've grown familiar to it. It might not be often but once in a while, I purchase or borrow an Audiobook so expect the reviews of those under here!

This is not a scheduled meme so I'll only post them when I have material to share. Please do watch out for them though!

All About Covers!

Hello my lovely readers! Today, I just want to introduce to you a new feature that I will be starting here in Everything A-TO-C and it's called...



Yes. Covers, covers, covers! I know you love them as much as I do. We rave and squeal about them just as much as the characters and the stories itself! To me, it's the art within an art. Just seeing the cover of a book showcases a thing or two about it so we can forget the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover" here in All About Covers, because as far as covers go... the prettier, the better! 

I actually don't consider consistently posting these in a weekly schedule but if anything, I'll keep you guys posted.

I will be breaking down this feature in 4 sub-categories which are Cover Reveal, Cover Face-Off, Cover Couple and last but definitely not the least, Cover Confessions.

Now let me elaborate on them by starting with the first one which is Cover Reveal.
Well, the title is pretty much self-explanatory! Here I will feature reveals I've signed up for and just new released covers I've stumbled upon.
Which will be posted whenever there is a newly revealed cover!

Second is Cover Face-Off. Basically this is where I compare covers of US vs. UK, The New vs. The Old, paperback vs. hardcover and etc!
Which will be posted weekly through Saturdays!

Third is Cover Couple. This is where I go Blue's Clues on you! Well, not really but there are some titles out there with the same stock photo and I don't know about you but I love spotting them and comparing them.
Which will be posted 2 a month on Mondays!

Lastly, we have Cover Confessions. This is pretty general. Whether it's a cover that speaks out to me or just one that looks very interesting? Expect it to be featured here!
Which will posted whenever (except Mondays, Saturdays or when a cover was revealed a day before)

I hope you guys like this feature. I've given it much thought and I know I will have lots of fun posting these. If you would like to do the same thing, please feel free to link up your cover posts over in the comments section!
