Cover Reveal : Insurgent by Veronica Roth

Yayy! The cover for the much anticipated Insurgent is finally out! Yes, I'm sure you've seen it in a dozen other sites but I just couldn't resist putting this up! The symbol on the cover is that of the faction Amity with a background of Chicago city, while the first book had the fiery symbol of the Dauntless faction!  Isn't it great?

The tagline for this book is, "One choice can destroy you." while the tagline of the first book is "One choice can transform you."

This is what Author Veronica Roth had to say about Insurgent from the interview up on Entertainment Weekly here.

I can’t say much because there’s very little I can reveal without spoiling everything. But I will say that the factions there were not featured in Divergent will have a more prominent role in Insurgent, and that readers will learn more about Tobias’ history. But essentially, the book is about consequences. The repercussions of what Tris did, and what Jeanine did at the end of the first book, in particular.

Exciting, right? Am I the only one who feels like weeping at the release date on Goodreads? May 2012!!

Cover Reveal : The Springsweet by Saundra Mitchell

I loved the cover to The Vespertine, the first book in the series of the same name, (even if I am yet to read it!)., but I positively adore the cover of the sequel, the Springsweet, the second book in the series, releasing in April 2012.

 

 It’s a long way from Baltimore to Oklahoma Territory. But Zora Stewart will go any distance to put the tragic events of her sixteenth summer behind her. So this city girl heads to the tiny frontier town of West Glory to help her young widowed aunt keep her homestead going. When another Baltimorean shows up in West Glory, Zora couldn’t be more surprised. Theo de la Croix made the long trip out west hoping to court Zora, whom he has long admired from afar.

But Zora has developed an attraction to a rather less respectable fellow: Emerson Birch, a rough-mannered young "sooner" whose fertile land is coveted.

As Zora begins to suspect that there may be more than luck behind Emerson’s good land, she discovers an extraordinary, astonishing power of her own: the ability to sense water under the parched earth. When her aunt hires her out as a "springsweet" to advise other settlers where to dig their wells, Zora feels the burden of holding the key to something so essential to survival in this unforgiving land. Even more, she finds herself longing for love the way the prairie thirsts for water. Maybe, in the wildness of the territories, Zora can finally move beyond simply surviving and start living. 

 

Cover Reveal : Hallowed by Cynthia Hand and Dreaming Awake by Gwen Hayes

If anybody would read the lost couple of posts on the blog, you's notice I've been going all gaga over book covers for some time now. Well, I'm back with more cover madness today. So, first up, Hallowed by Cynthia Hand! This is the second book in her series Unearthly. And then comes, Dreaming Awake by Gwen Hayes. I know this one's cover was out a while back but I just couldn't resist putting that out there along with Hallowed.

For months part-angel Clara Gardner trained to face the raging forest fire from her visions and rescue the alluring and mysterious Christian Prescott from the blaze. But nothing could prepare her for the fateful decisions she would be forced to make that day, or the startling revelation that her purpose—the task she was put on earth to accomplish—is not as straightforward as she thought. Now, torn between her increasingly complicated feelings for Christian and her love for her boyfriend, Tucker, Clara struggles to make sense of what she was supposed to do the day of the fire. And, as she is drawn further into the world of part angels and the growing conflict between White Wings and Black Wings, Clara learns of the terrifying new reality that she must face: Someone close to her will die in a matter of months. With her future uncertain, the only thing Clara knows for sure is that the fire was just the beginning.

And still the nightmare realm of Under won’t let them go. Someone from Haden’s past is determined to destroy Theia from the inside out, starting with those closest to her, forcing Theia to choose between family and friends and a love that may have been doomed from the start.
