Deserted on an Island
By Adriana Lima



A girl who is deserted on a island and has no food, shelter or clothing so as you can see she is sitting in the middle of nowhere nude. Also you can see she's putting her hand to her stomach because she is really hungry

Yesica: she looks a bit too at ease for it to be natural

Petra: I agree. I think this shot has tremendous potential to be a book cover, but I think the description is a bit too informational and not exactly something you would find on the back of a book. In Ana's, there was a bit of a cliffhanger. This one sounds a bit boring from what I've read.

How to Lose a Guy in 5 Days
By Coco Rocha



Coco is taking up where Andi left off .but she has a new goal - lose a guy in five days. Can she do it? She knows one of the things guys hate is to ignore them while they're talking to women. Will she succeed or will she fail?

Petra: I think the picture is perfect, but I would have liked more out of the description. Also, I think the more I look at this in comparison to the other shots, the more I forget about it.

Yesica: I like it, but it is very forgettable.

A Taste Of Sin
By Du Juan



This book revolves around the lesbian couple, Mitsuki and Lisa. Mitsuki comes from a very strict family who are very religious and in fact homophobic. They worry that Mitsuki is too much of a loner and afraid of finding a man. Mitsuki is afraid of coming out to them since they always act disrespectful with gays. Lisa and Mitsuki pretend that they're just best friends and makes sure they hide their lesbian relationship from Mitsuki's family. But Mitsuki can't take this hiding anymore, she's tired of it. But she doesn't want to break up with Lisa and is too afraid to come out. Her parents are convincing her that maybe gays are full of sin and threatens her that if she's gay, they would abandon her. Will Mitsuki continue tasting sin with Lisa and defy her parents? or risk losing her family and Lisa?

Petra: I can tell a lot of effort was put into it. Its a great effort and I love the outcome. Its based off of something that could be an actual storyline, which I like. Overall, I think she nailed it. This is exactly what we wanted this week, Du Juan.

Yesica: it looks great, and i think the storyline could be made into a good book.

Sandy Shores
By Izabel Goulart



Rita Antonino works as a model on the beaches of California. Slowly, she starts to fal1 in love with her photographer, Raphaël Gilbert. The one thing she did not know was that he was married. That is until his wife, Coralie found out. The next morning, Raphaël is found murdered on the beach. The only question is, did Coralie commit the crime, or did Rita in an act of rage?

Petra: I like it. The picture is a shot that I could totally see on a cover. Sure, the storyline is very corny, but its also amusing! It would make an..interesting read. Hah

Yesica: I agree, but I also think the cover does not fit the plot.

Desert Castaway
By Kate Moss



Stranded on a desert, Kate finds herself thinking.. In the hot sun, with only a hint of warm wind blowing, she wonders if there is life here, and who she might come in contact with. Will there be that certain someone who can make her forget her troubles?

Petra says: I think the summary is a little too breif. There really isn't much of a storyline. I like the shot, but I find it irrelevant.

Yesica: stranded, i'd be worrying about how to get out of there alive, not worrying if ill ever find that special someone

Petra: Yes, but thats the fun of the story.

The Rise and Fall of a New York Socialite
By Lily Cole



Lily, a 20-year-old heiress to a major fashion house, is thrust into a whirlwind life of sex, drugs, addiction, and ultimately, her own destruction. This novel follows young Lily from the age of 20 to 36, the age of her death.

Petra: Again, I find the summary too brief. However, unlike Kate's though, I really want to know more! It sounds interesting and the cover is outstanding. I like it overall, I just wish there was more to read!

Elizabeth says: the cover is intriguing and I'd read the book.
