Get A Taste: Under the Never Sky



Rea of Rea's Reading and Reviews and I often read very different books but sometimes find interesting new books to potentially add to the ever-growing monsters that our TBR piles have morphed into. However, we know that we do not have 100% the same taste and we wanted another way of getting a look at these books...


Do you ever feel like getting a bit of a taster for a book you’ve been thinking of reading but aren’t fully sold on yet? Do you feel like sharing a taster for your current read with the world? Well, here’s your chance.

Each week the random number generator will pick a number between 1 and 100 for books with pages or 1 and 25% for ebooks. We figured that these numbers would keep us out of spoiler territory. Open your book to the specified place and pick a paragraph. Share it with the world!



This week its: 
Page number: 92
Kindle/ebook: 3%


My Teaser:
Under the Never Sky (Under the Never Sky, #1)

'Paisley's expression softened. "The link is probably just down. You'll hear from her soon."
"The link has only dropped for a few hours before. Never for this long."
Paisley sighed, leaning against the plastic mound. "I couldn't believe it when you sang to him the other night. And you should've seen Caleb. He thought you'd broken into your mothers medicines."
Aria smiled.'


I only just read this recently. It was recommend by a friend because she loved it so much, and well.. I have to agree with her :) Amazing :D



Do you want to join in too? Here’s how:

Step 1:
 Copy and paste the Get A Taste image.
Step 2: Copy and paste our intro or write your own but it must link back to both of our blogs.
Step 3: Find the designated page for the week.
Step 4: Type out a paragraph or so from your book.
Step 5: Post it and share it!

We would appreciate it if you'd leave a comment letting us know where we can find your post. We'll be sure to pop on by and leave a comment!
Thanks and have fun!

The Cover Wars: Under the Never Sky




Rea of Rea's Reading and Reviews and I decided to get together to do a weekly meme where we would compare covers of the UK editions of books with those of the US editions.
The aim of this is to just have a bit of fun. We put ourselves in the position where we see both of these books side by side in the bookstore. Which would we choose? Why that one and not the other?

This week, we will be comparing the UK and US covers of Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi because Rea has told me it's amazing. I have read the description and it sound great. 

The First book is the US version and the Second one is the UK version. 


Tara says: I first saw both of these covers at around the same time without actually knowing anything about the book and I didn't really know which one looked better.Afterwards I read description and then looked at them both again. I feel the US version is very captivating and bold. When I see it all I see is a girl and the title in a beautiful way. With the UK version, it's very pink and I feel that this may put off male readers. Also, it isn't as bold as the US version and there are a lot of books out there with the boy and the girl on the front cover. I love a change so I am going with the US version.

Rea says: I've read this book now (obviously!), so that may make me somewhat partial. The US cover is the first one I saw and I was definitely drawn to it. When I saw the UK one later I suspect I was drawn to how it’s white and pink – one of my favourite colour combos. However, now that I’ve read it, Perry (the guy) doesn’t seem right to me. Also, if you see the US one close up, the words “Never Sky” actual
actually look like they have little stars on them, which is pretty cool! The US version also instils a sense of drama and adventure. I’m going with US this week.

Score: 

Week 1:     US: 1    UK: 0    Draw: 0




My goodreads :D
