COVERS: Spirit, Clockwork, Hysteria and more

Spirit and Dust                                     Dead River

I love the font for Spirit and Dust, it looks amazing. Dead River is very eerie....it kind of freaks me out, to be honest ;)

      Panic                                              White Lines

Ouch. Poor little blue butterfly. Not sure if I like the White Lines cover - I don't mind a black and white photo, but I hate it when font looks like it's just been slapped onto the cover.

Clockwork Princess                                 Spellcaster     

I'm rarely a fan of obviously multi-layered images, but I always seem to be a fan of Clare's covers. I love the glowing effect, it looks great. Spellcaster looks good, but I feel like I've seen a similar cover...

Broken                                          Hysteria

I really like how they integrated the title font for Broken. I'm not really feeling the Hysteria cover, though.

What are your thoughts? Seen any great covers lately?

Top Ten Books I Hope Santa Brings

 

1. The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson - It's written by Maureen freaking Johnson. I can't believe I've managed to keep from getting this one so for so long. 
2. Blackbringer & Silksinger (Dreamdark #1 & #2) by Laini Taylor - I've been loving Taylor's other works, but I've had trouble finding a reasonably priced copy of the latter Dreamdark book (and I'm hesitant to buy the first one without the sequel). Maybe Santa will have better luck. 
3. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin - The hype has been insane for this story. I need this book. 
4. (preorder of) Hana by Lauren Oliver - A Delirium short story! 

5. (preorder of) Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler - I love Sarah's books, and I'm sure this one won't be any exception. If only Santa could bring this one early ;)
6. Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore - Witches. Hot cowboy neighbors. That is all. 
7. Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins - I really don't know why I haven't read this yet. Maybe once I actually have a copy I'll start reading it. 
8. Fixing Delilah by Sarah Ockler - I honestly haven't got a clue why I don't own a finished copy of this one (I own two of Twenty Boy Summer, so I guess that makes up for it), but obviously, I need one. 

 

9.  Bloodlines by Richelle Mead - Anyone who's read this blog for a couple years will know I'm a huge Richelle Mead/VA fan, which makes it really weird that I still haven't read or bought Bloodlines.   
10. Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco X. Stork - I've heard nothing but wonderful things about this book, so it would be a great one to receive for the holidays! 
What books are you hoping to receive during the holidays?

Waiting on Wednesday

WOW is hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine

Book: Texas Gothic

Author: Rosemary Clement-Moore

Release: July 12th, 2011
Summary:

Amy Goodnight's family is far from normal. She comes from a line of witches, but tries her best to stay far outside the family business. Her summer gig? Ranch-sitting for her aunt with her wacky but beautiful sister. Only the Goodnight Ranch is even less normal than it normally is. Bodies are being discovered, a ghost is on the prowl, and everywhere she turns, the hot neighbor cowboy is in her face. 

I enjoyed Rosemary's other novel, The Splendor Falls, so I'm definitely looking forward to this one! 

And because I can't resist, I'm definitely waiting on this next one 
(no summary yet, but the cover was just released): 

Eeeeek! I can't wait! August 23rd is so ridiculously far away, but knowing Richelle Mead's other books, Bloodlines is bound to kick butt and will be well worth the wait. 

What are you waiting on?
