What a beautiful cover. I remember when I first saw it my initial thought was, Oh, please don't let it suck . I know that sounds harsh, but sometimes a cover just calls out to you and you know when you finally hold a physical copy of the book itself you'll just want to stroke it and love it and tell it it's found its home on your shelves. Unfortunately, the innards (as my boy is fond of saying) don't always match the outtards. And then I am forced to cry. Because . . . so pretty. So when a review copy of Stacey Jay 's Juliet Immortal came my way, I held my breath. Just a bit. Okay, maybe for the first five pages or so. Thankfully, that's all it took. Because this innovative retelling (of sorts) of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has teeth. And they sank into me with delicious ferocity. This was my first foray with Stacey Jay , though I know she has a handful of books already out. After this encounter, I look forward to checking out her other work. Juliet...
I have the same pic on my blog in my Twilight review...swweeeett!
ReplyDeleteIt's how I've always imagined Edward...sweet Edward...*sigh*
Dottie :)
Yeah, where did that Edward go?
ReplyDeleteI'm in 100 percent agreement. Fan art can be so cool...
ReplyDeleteI thought that was the official release pic?
ReplyDeleteI posted it on my blog as soon as I saw it:) Oh Edward....
I agree, I miss that Edward as well. I am curious to see how the movie of Breaking Dawn turns out though, the book was awful so I wonder if the movie will be as well?
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm...Edward. Pre-Breaking Dawn Edward, no less :)
ReplyDeleteLol. You guys are making me feel better. ;)
ReplyDeleteDottie, what can I say? It's just that kind of picture.
Jennie, I don't know. *sigh*
Camie, I love it. Seriously way better than the official Summit posters for TWILIGHT were.
Mandi, it looks very professional. Apparently it's fan made though.
Kath, I'm having trouble even imagining what that movie will be like. I just...haven't a clue how it could be good.
Allie, yup. Pretty swoon-worthy.
New Moon will always be my favorite. I hope Robert and Kristin do a good job transfering it to the big screen because I felt this was the one that held a lot of emotion.
ReplyDeleteHe just makes me giggle every time I see him.
ReplyDeletePrincess Allie, I loved NEW MOON as well. Haters to the left.
ReplyDeleteMartha, hehe. Well, you know him better than the rest of us what with all the unauthorized biographing...
That is one really hot picture!
ReplyDeleteSmokin'. In a cold, marbley way.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think I'm the only one on the planet who doesn't find cold, marbley, bloodsucking Edward even remotely attractive.
ReplyDeleteAnon, don't feel alone! I definitely am put off by the cold surface with no give, etc descriptions. I probably mentally gloss over those in the text because I do like the guy. Or at least I like pre-BD Edward.
