The Bursting Bookshelf

Elana Johnson's Possession and Surrender got brand new covers! Personally, I love them and the color they incorporate, while still keeping design aspects from the earlier covers.

What if you were mankind’s last chance at survival?


Sixteen-year-old Tess lives in a compound in what was once the Western United States, now decimated after a devastating fourth World War. But long before that, life as we knew it had been irrevocably changed, as women mysteriously lost the ability to bring forth life. Faced with the extinction of the human race, the government began the Council of Creators, meant to search out alternative methods of creating life. The resulting artificial human beings, or Chosen Ones, were extraordinarily beautiful, unbelievably strong, and unabashedly deadly.


Life is bleak, but uncomplicated for Tess as she follows the rigid rules of her dystopian society, until the day she begins work at Templeton, the training facility for newly created Chosen Ones. There, she meets James, a Chosen One whose odd love of music and reading rivals only her own. The attraction between the two is immediate in its intensity—and overwhelming in its danger.


But there is more to the goings-on at Templeton than Tess ever knew, and as the veil is lifted from her eyes, she uncovers a dark underground movement bent not on taking down the Chosen Ones, but the Council itself. Will Tess be able to stand up to those who would oppress her, even if it means giving up the only happiness in her life?

Except there’s something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she’ll turn to dust if he touches her. It’s not until Dez’s father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there’s more to this boy—and her father’s “law firm”—than she realized.

Wow. It looks good and sounds great! And the cover model looks ESPECIALLY good. I really like the colour scheme and font for the title and how dark it looks.

So what do you guys think?

Insurgent by Veronica Roth

I love it! I don't know about you guys but I'll totally be picking up this book when it comes out! The cover is so gorgeous!

What do you guys think?

I know I love it! I love the pretty green used and the book sounds intense. What do you guys think?

Synopsis:
Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senioryear, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, outhouses, dodgyinternet access, and a whole lot of boring. Until I spotted my hotneighbor with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were lookingup.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant.Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks meand Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand,well, something…unexpected happens.
 
The hot alien living next door marked me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and hissister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and the markhe left on me has me lit up like Las Vegas strip to the bad guys. The only wayI'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alienmojo fades.

If I don't kill him first, that is.



What do you guys think?

Isn't it just GORGEOUS??? I know I will be reading this one when it comes out.

Synopsis:
Ashlyn is about to discover what she’d thought to be true her whole life, wasn’t, and the truth, too fantastical to imagine. Secrets lurk beneath the deep blue waters of Lake Tahoe, secrets that will change Ashlyn's life forever.

Hey everyone, as many of you already know, today is the day of the cover reveal for the third and final book of the Talisman Series. I know for a fact that I love this new cover and I'll be going out to get the book when it comes out. So, here is the cover for The Onyx Talisman by Brenda Pandos:

PS: Where can I get that necklace? It's gorgeous!


Synopsis: *Contains Spoilers!!!*


What do you guys think about the cover?









PS: There's a deal on The Emerald Talisman for Kindle/ Nook for $0.99. Run, go get it!

Hey guys! As you can see above the cover for the final book in the Immortals Series just came out. I don't know about you guys, but I love it! They are closing the series with a fully blossomed flower to perhaps show how their love has grown over the last five books. I also love the colour scheme. I mean, pink-y purple? YES! So what do you guys think?

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event held by Jill over at Breaking The Spine! It's all about those books you just can't wait for and are counting down the days till they come out.
This week for WoW I have chosen...

There it is! Isn't it intriguing? I love the little swirly of water drops and the fact that they kept some of the last book on it with the red and orange title, though this time instead of fire theme, its clearly water themed. Maybe that's a hint as to what the new character's (Number Seven) legacies are? I really love how they kept the tag line as well, though this time it's different. Overall, I really like it and I think it will look good next to I Am Number Four on my shelf as well. The Power of Six comes out on August 23rd, 2011. A while to wait, but I'm very excited for this one because I enjoyed the first one so much.

PS: I really like the rough edge they're keeping on the cover!

Are you guys excited?

Hey guys, I would just like to show you a brand new cover for a book that I'm pretty excited for!

Hey guys i just wanted to do a quick announcement as the cover of Passion (Fallen #3) was just announced! What do you guys think? It's slightly different from the other two covers as this one features colour and you can see more of the models face.
