Made of Stars Cover Reveal!‏

Hey, guys! 

Do you remember how much I loved Hushed, by Kelley York? Well, her new book, Made of Stars will be out around October this year, and I have the honor of introducing to you its gorgeous cover: 

You know I'm a sucker for blue tones (just look at my blog), but I'm also a sucker for great books, and let me tell you, this one sounds unbelievable:

____________________________________________

Blurb:

When eighteen-year-old Hunter Jackson and his half sister, Ashlin, return to their dad’s for the first winter in years, they expect everything to be just like the warmer months they’d spent there as kids.  

And it is—at first. But Chance, the charismatic and adventurous boy who made their summers epic, is harboring deep secrets. Secrets that are quickly spiraling into something else entirely. 

The reason they’ve never met Chance’s parents or seen his home is becoming clearer. And what the siblings used to think of as Chance's quirks—the outrageous stories, his clinginess, his dangerous impulsiveness—are now warning signs that something is seriously off.

Then Chance's mom turns up with a bullet to the head, and all eyes shift to Chance and his dad. Hunter and Ashlin know Chance is innocent...they just have to prove it. But how can they protect the boy they both love when they can’t trust a word Chance says?

Cover Characteristic – Men without shirts

This is a new meme hosted by Sugar & Snark. It came about when Sugar was wondering which cover to use for her #70 Cover of the Week post. Sugar kept on thinking of more than one, and they all seemed to have a theme/characteristic. So she decided to switch things up a bit!

Each week we will post a characteristic and choose 5 of our favorite cover’s with that characteristic. If you want to join in and share your 5 favorite covers with the weeks particular characteristic, then just make a post, grab the meme picture (or make your own) and leave your URL in Linky (so we can visit).

You don’t even need to participate, just stopping by and saying hi would be great!

My List of the Weirdest/Most Awkward or Badly Edited Shirtless Cover Men I've Seen So Far:

These were supposed to be sexy, but for some reason they didn't turn out very well in my opinion... maybe it's the  position the models were in, or the fact that the faces weren't cut out of some... well, see for yourself:

They aren't bad books, you see. Demon Moon is an excellent read, as a matter of fact. I also enjoyed Raine very much. The others... not so much. But other readers have. We really shouldn't judge books by their covers, but we can't help sometimes, can we? LOL

There are many other weird covers, of course. Surely you've seen your share. Tell me in the coments! I love weird covers. *-*

P.P. (post-posting): The lovely Ann Mayburn stopped by my blog! My heart almost stopped as well, I was SO excited to see her comment!!! *-* She mentioned the hot cover for her new book, called Still, and made me curious to go and see it... The only word I could express my feelings with after seeing it was: WOW. Check for yourselves, guys:

Heat Level: Call a priest ahead of time to schedule a confession after reading
