There's really very little to say, isn't there? I hope you are well, wherever you are. I hope that your loved ones are. I hope that you're finding small ways to stay afloat, to remain connected to something, someone, someplace (real or fictional) that sustains you. Dark and difficult times, indeed. I've rather been holding on to this review. I felt so much, so quickly, so irrevocably for this book that it rapidly became hard to talk about to anyone who hadn't read it. And so I hope I can do it justice, just barely enough justice that, if you haven't, you'll run right out and do so. Now is the perfect time. I feel strongly that this book is what you need in your life at this moment. And so. You might want to prepare yourselves. I'm about to wax rhapsodic. But first, and introductory excerpt: At the end of that session, Fay said, What if it's not what happened with this boy you regret, it's you? It's the you who you left behind. It's ...
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.
