Bookish News~ February 11th-15th

This has been the week of awesome bookish news. From tons of cover reveals to cover remakes and an awesome contest from one of my favorite authors!

First of all, what did you guys think of the new book cover for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone? 

In celebration of The Sorcerer’s Stone 15th anniversary they decided to redesign the covers for the paperback editions, all seven books will get new paperback covers and will be available for sale this September.

I love the old covers, and I do like these ones too and even if I didn’t I would still buy them because I just have to own them to add to my collection of HP stuff. =)

The illustrator for the new cover is Kazu Kibuishi  (click on his name to be directed to the press release)

Go to Scholastic for more info.

Another awesome book cover reveal! This time by Myra McEntire

for the third book in her Hourglass series- Infinityglass. Now I have

yet to read the second book Timepiece, I am super lame, but I did

love Hourglass and will definitely read Timepiece before this one is out.

Go to Myra’s website for her cover reveal post, it’s pretty funny. =)

Melissa Marr just announced yesterday on twitter that she’s releasing another Wicked Lovely novel… I screamed when I read the news. I LOVE her Wicked Lovely series and cannot wait to find out more about this one. It’s called Desert Tales and is a companion novel not a continuation of the last one in the series. You can read more about it in her Tumblr.

I hadn’t heard of this debut novel until I saw the cover reveal on Young Adult Books Central. I added

it to my Goodreads list immediately after though,

it sounds pretty great and that cover is quite chilling.

Can’t wait to see what this one’s all about and they’re

also having a giveaway for an arc over at YABC.
