Hi everyone! I hope you are having a great day!
For the last 2 1/2 years my blog’s URL has been a .blogspot account, so I finally decided to switch to a new domain. So my blog is now at AReadersAdventure.com. My old site will redirect to this new site but I hope you will start to visit through AReadersAdventure.com
Hope you have a good day!
Hi everyone! Okay so every once in a while publishers will change the covers of a series either for a reprint or in the middle of the series. This is usually to draw more potential readers to the series who may not have picked it up originally.
Well another series is getting re-covered. I am happy to show you the new covers for Elana Johnson’s Possession series.
Now I really liked the old covers: (Surrender was never printed with this cover)
I liked them because they were clean and symbolic and just plain beautiful.
But I honestly really like the new covers as well. I mean of course new covers in the middle of a series can be kind of a bummer if you have one of them in hardcover (Possession) and then when you pick up Surrender when it comes out in June it has a different cover style.
Now keep in mind that these are the new covers for the Possession paperback and the Surrender hardback (both available early June 2012):
I really like them! I like how they kept the symbols that were on the original covers and I like how they took a color from the symbols and made it into the background!
These covers are very similar to the original and the only thing I don’t like about them is the new font. I feel like it is too large and takes away from what is still such a simple cover. But overall I really like them (especially Surrender).
What do you think? Do you love them? Hate them? let me know in the comments!
Penelope (Lo) Marin has always loved to collect beautiful things. Her dad's consulting job means she's grown up moving from one rundown city to the next, and she's learned to cope by collecting (sometimes even stealing) quirky trinkets and souvenirs in each new place--possessions that allow her to feel at least some semblance of home.
Title: How to Save a LifeJill MacSweeny just wishes everything could go back to normal. But ever since her dad died, she's been isolating herself from her boyfriend, her best friends--everyone who wants to support her. And when her mom decides to adopt a baby, it feels like she's somehow trying to replace a lost family member with a new one.
Mandy Kalinowski understands what it's like to grow up unwanted--to be raised by a mother who never intended to have a child. So when Mandy becomes pregnant, one thing she's sure of is that she wants a better life for her baby. It's harder to be sure of herself. Will she ever find someone to care for her, too?
As their worlds change around them, Jill and Mandy must learn to both let go and hold on, and that nothing is as easy--or as difficult--as it seems.
