Cover Envy

This post was inspired by Rissi's cover candy posts...and the covers of a a few great-looking books I stumbled upon by accident. What do you think of these new/upcoming titles? (Note: I don't necessarily recommend -or plan on reading- all of these books. I'm just focusing on the covers...for the most part)


Love Comes Calling by Siri Mitchell.
A new Siri Mitchell book! Yay! Though her last novel didn't live up to my expectations, I'm looking forward to this one. I don't like the cover of this one much as Unrivaled, but I like the Art Deco feel. I have a feeling this one's going to end up on my bookshelf :)


ShadowHeart by Anne Elisabeth Stengl
I still haven't gotten through all the books in this series, I really am looking forward to this book. It's defnitely my favorite cover of the Tales of Goldstone Wood series.



The Captive Maiden by Melanie Dickerson
I was SO happy when I saw this cover! It's beautiful and matches Melanie Dickerson's other books perfectly. I can NOT wait for this one!



Dangerous by Shannon Hale
So this one is not one I'd normally post! It's not "pretty", but rather...futuristic, maybe? There's not a whole lot of description for this book yet, but it's by Shannon Hale, so I know I'll be checking it out!



Into the Whirlwind by Elizabeth Camden
Again, looking forward to this book. I like the colors, but something about the composition feels a little "off" to me. But it does have some nice elements.



The Living Room by Robert Whitlow
I'm not sure what I think of this one. Do I like it, or do I not? What do you think about it?



Tattler's Branch by Jan Watson
The hair is pretty awesome (especially that silver streak!)



All For A Story by Allison Pittman
Well, that gal looks sassy! But something about the cover bothers me...I don't really like the way all the elements mesh together, and I think the character on the front looks a little stiff.


Elusive Hope by MaryLu Tyndall
Can't wait for this release! I'm not quite sure what I think of the cover, though. It looks a little mysterious, and I like the misty look.



Blackmoore by Julianne Donaldson
Definitely a close-up here, although we can't see the subject's face. I like the pearls, and the manor in the background.

    Oh, yay! These are some great ones Hayden.

    Siri's is cute. (Don't love the hairstyle but otherwise...) The title is making me consider giving Siri another chance despite not being fond of her last one.

    'Maiden' is gorgeous and Julianne's is really unique. Makes me all the more anxious to read these books.

    Love this, Hayden - and thanks for the shout-out! Getting ready to put up another of these on my blog also. :)

    Julianne said that she specifically asked the creators of the cover to add a certain element. Some of her blog readers guessed it was the pearls...I wonder what it was myself :) I can't wait to read that one though. I loved Edenbrooke!

    Nice to see the second book of MaryLu Tyndall's series is coming out. I'm reading the first book at this very moment! I think the misty look of the cover fits with the story taking place in Brazil.

    I also loooove the Julianne Donaldson cover!

In This Moment

Image
  In This Moment Gabrielle Meyer Bethany House Publishers Maggie inherited a gift from her time-crossing parents that allows her to live three separate lives in 1861, 1941, and 2001. Each night she goes to sleep in one time period and wakes up in another. Until, that is, she turns twenty-one, when she will have to forfeit two of those lives--and everyone she knows in them--forever. In 1861, Maggie is the daughter of an influential senator at the outbreak of the Civil War, navigating a capital full of Southern spies and wounded soldiers. In 1941, she is a Navy nurse, grappling with her knowledge of the future when she's asked to join a hospital ship being sent to Pearl Harbor. And in 2001, she's a brilliant young medical student, fulfilling her dream of becoming a surgeon, yet unable to use her modern skills in her other paths. While Maggie has sworn off romance until she makes her final choice, an intriguing man tugs at her heart in each era. The mysterious Brit...

The Seamstress of Acadie

Image
As 1754 is drawing to a close, tensions between the French and the British on Canada's Acadian shore are reaching a fever pitch. Seamstress Sylvie Galant and her family--French-speaking Acadians wishing to remain neutral--are caught in the middle, their land positioned between two forts flying rival flags. Amid preparations for the celebration of Noël, the talk is of unrest, coming war, and William Blackburn, the British Army Ranger raising havoc across North America's borderlands. As summer takes hold in 1755 and British ships appear on the horizon, Sylvie encounters Blackburn, who warns her of the coming invasion. Rather than participate in the forced removal of the Acadians from their land, he resigns his commission. But that cannot save Sylvie or her kin. Relocated on a ramshackle ship to Virginia, Sylvie struggles to pick up the pieces of her life. When her path crosses once more with William's, they must work through the complex tangle of their shared, shattered past ...

Before Midnight

this is the cover of the book I had, but I thought this cover was really pretty! Before Midnight Cameron Dokey Simon and Shuster I’ve heard of this series for a long time now, but I hadn’t gotten a chance to read any of the books until just recently. I really did enjoy this retelling of Cinderella, although there were things about it I didn’t care for. However, it was one of those books whose flaws you don’t notice until you’re done reading and sit back and reflect on the story. One thing I did like about this book was the way it was written, and that it really drew me right in. The twists on the story of Cinderella were interesting, and a few were unexpected. Another thing I liked was that the main character was called Cendrillon , the original French version of the name Cinderella , and that her nickname was Rilla. However, the romance wasn’t really as great; it felt like almost an afterthought. The Prince was barely in it, and their relationship wasn’t given ...
