It seems a long time ago now that I first read Shiver -- the first book in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy. But looking back I started it on the plane ride to BEA and finished it there in the conference center, fingers gripping the cover tightly, while sitting on the floor in one of the many autograph lines. And now it's May again and BEA is right around the corner and I emerge from my recent and nasty reading slump stupor to find a copy of Linger sitting in my mailbox like a glove thrown down in the dirt. "I will be the one to pull you out," it whispers to me slyly. "Just open me up and take a sip. I promise--one sip is all it will take." And I look at it with fear and longing written all over my face. "You promise?" I ask intently. "Because it's been a long walk in the cold and I'm not sure I can take another disappointment." "Just open me up," it says, confidence written all over its cover. And so I do. And everythin
Shiver looks interesting and I'm still reading Graceling. Thank you for posting.
ReplyDeleteOoooo! I had seen the cover for Fire, but not for Shiver. As if I wasn't already dying to read it! That cover is gorgeous - can't wait! And I'm looking forward to catching up with Scarlett and Spencer, too. Thank you, thank you, for posting these!
ReplyDeleteThe Fire cover is beautiful, plus it's similar enough to Graceling so that you can tell it's part of the same series.
ReplyDeleteThe Shiver cover is really striking, I would definitely pick it up in the store to have a closer look.
Oh, I can't wait for Fire and Shiver. The covers a re great. Do you know if Scarlett Fever is a sequel to Suite Scarlett (a book I haven't read)? The model looks the same.
ReplyDeletePrincess Allie, you bet! Hope Graceling is treating you right. :)
ReplyDeleteChelle, you are so welcome. I, too, am really excited about getting back together with Scarlett and Spencer. Such a great brother/sister relationship there.
Li, you're right. I'd pick Shiver up for sure based on the cover alone. It has a bit of the How I Live Now going on. Very exciting.
Anon, yes! Scarlett Fever is the sequel to Suite Scarlett and I highly recommend it. Hilarious.
Very fun - will definitely be keeping my eyes open for these in coming months.
ReplyDeleteYUM.
ReplyDeleteJanssen, I agree. Much to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteErin, lol. They do look tempting, don't they?
The cover art for Fire is simply stunning. I have Graceling sitting near the top of my YA TBR pile... it's also a lovely cover.
ReplyDeleteI also have to agree that shiver looks very tempting. I'm drawn to it as well.
Christine, Kristin Cashore really lucked out in the eye-catching, sumptuous cover department, huh? I think you'll enjoy Graceling.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing cover for Cashore's next book! I am looking forward to reading more from her. Graceling was very good, I heard about it from you :)
ReplyDeleteEmily, I know! So red and fiery. I'm very glad you liked Graceling. Hopefully Fire will be just as good.
