TBR :: April :: Shiny Covers

PrevNext
We all know I'm a sucker for a foil-detailed cover, and it just happens that there are soooo many beautiful ones out at the moment - and quite a few on my TBR stack - so I thought I might pull together a mini stack of some of my favourite shiny covers to read from in April.
