And here we have the cover for John Green's upcoming book The Fault in Our Stars, due out January 10th. I like how simple it is (yay for simple these days). I like that there are no people on it. And I like the chalk writing. It's a little hard to fall utterly in love with, however, because of the countless unbelievably awesome fan-made covers sent in. Happily, they impressed his publisher so much they're holding a contest for fan-made covers for the next edition of An Abundance of Katherines. I cannot wait to see the results! For now, I'm off to go pre-order my signed copy of tFiOS.
I can't quit Jennifer Echols . Not that I really try that hard, but I read her new ones and often feel as though I'm still searching for that one in possession of that certain something that will make me feel the way Going Too Far did. Like I couldn't put it it down. And definitely like I didn't hate either of the main characters after the fact. Well, I found it with Such a Rush . I read this 300+ pager in a single night, which clears up the question of whether or not I couldn't put it down. And I finished it definitely not hating either of the main characters. I didn't finish it loving them both unreservedly, though. I loved Leah with my whole heart from page one and that never changed. My feelings regarding one of the Hall brothers remain complicated. More to come on this in a bit. On a side note, I'm delighted that Such a Rush is Ms. Echols' hardcover debut. It's a meticulously designed book, a pleasure to hold in my hands as I stayed up way
Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that there's a cover quote from Jodi Picoult. Is it me or is that an odd choice?
YAY! So excited for this one. Can't wait for my SIGNED copy! Oh my word, he is crazy. In a really really good way.
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of the cover too! And I really should pre-order this soon because I want a first edition, signed copy. :)
ReplyDeleteChristine, yeah, that caught my eye as well. Not a name you expect to see on a John Green cover at all, is it?
ReplyDeleteSuey, lol. He really is.
Chachic, me too! Can't miss out on getting one of those. Maybe a yeti one!
Oh, I've been waiting for this cover unveil! I too like the simplicity. It's actually a little non-descript for my taste, but maybe it will make more sense after I've read it.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to preorder... What a great book to look forward to in early January.
Oh wow, thanks for sharing this Angie, I haven't seen it yet The chalk writing is great.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for this one :)
Holly, that's a good word for it--nondescript. I agree, would have liked it to make a bit more of an impression.
ReplyDeleteJo, yeah, I love the chalk writing, too. Can't wait.
Oooh, a new John Green! How exciting. Better add to the wishlist now so I don't forget.
