In My Mailbox...

Original Cover
New Cover
I had some interesting finds in my mailbox this week. I requested an ARC of Wolfsbane, the second book in the Nightshade trilogy. It released in August and I never received it. Imagine my surprise when I found it in my mailbox this week! I'm especially happy because the publisher sent the one with the original cover. I am quite fond of the original covers of this series. It's been changed, now and I just don't find the new covers as intriguing. The story is awesome and I can't wait to read book two!                                                                      

I was also surprised to get Hunted, the new book by Cheryl Rainsfield. I interviewed her last year (see 3/31/10 post) when her contemporary YA, SCARS released. It's inspired by her own struggles with sexual abuse and became an award-winning novel. I can't wait to see how she's going to handle the paranormal in this one!

Carry the One is getting some interesting buzz. A young girl is killed and it affects the lives of a number of people for years to come.

And finally, I received my own copies of The Woman in Black and The Killer of Little Shepherds. I just concluded my biggest giveaway this past week and had 10 winners, for these two books. The Woman in Black will be a movie starring Daniel Radcliffe. It releases February 2012 and I'm telling you, it looks seriously scary! Again, I thank Random House for their generosity.


That's it for me. What good books did you get or read this past week?

  5. The original cover for Wolfsbane is much better - I love her eyes - and that's an awesome surprise. I've yet to start the series (on my tittering 'to be read' pile). Happy reading!

    & thanks for visiting :) YA's the Word

  9. I like the original cover of Wolfsbane better too. It definitely draws me in, unlike the new cover.

    I found you via the IMM linky. I’m a new follower :)

  10. I'm a little POed at the Nightshade books. The cover swap, the lack of Ren in Wolfsbane, too much negative stuff. I don't know if I'm gonna go on with the series. But you're lucky because you have THE ORIGINAL COVER. One of the most beautiful ones.

    ENJOY. Happy reading, June!
