We've Got It Covered {4}: Patiently Awaiting

Hey Remarkable Readers,
I was on twitter when I noticed not one but, two new book covers!  Sever, the last installment in Lauren DeStefano's Wither Trilogy, now has a cover.  Asunder, sequel to Incarnate by Jodi Meadows, has also been covered!  Check them out below!

Sever by Lauren Destefano

What if you knew exactly when you would die? In the not-too-distant future, genetic engineering has turned every newborn into a ticking time bomb — males only live to age 25 and females only live to age 20.
In this bleak landscape, young girls are kidnapped and forced into polygamous marriages to keep the population from dying out. When 16-year-old Rhine Ellery is taken by "the Gatherers" to become a bride, she enters a world of wealth and privilege. Rhine has only one purpose after she has been married to her new husband, Linden: to escape and find her twin brother.
But Rhine has more to contend with than losing her freedom. Linden's eccentric father is bent on finding an antidote to the genetic virus that is getting closer to taking his son, even if it means collecting corpses in order to test his experiments. With the help of Gabriel, a servant to whom she is dangerously attracted, Rhine is desperate to learn the truth and protect those closest to her. But, as her sister wife Cecily keeps insisting, her role may be much bigger than that.In the first two books of the Chemical Garden trilogy, Wither and Fever, Rhine struggles to escape the mansion and then to navigate the brutal world outside. Now in Sever, the third and final book, Rhine uncovers some shattering truths about the past that her parents never had the chance to tell her and the alarming implications regarding her own genes. She may be the one who can save the human race.


I read Wither and enjoyed it, although it took quite a while to read.  I have yet to read Fever but, I liked the cover for Wither the most out of all three.  Fever takes second place and Sever takes third.  Although I still like this cover, I don't love the color scheme.

Asunder by Jodi Meadows

DARKSOULS
Ana has always been the only one. Asunder. Apart. But after Templedark, when many residents of Heart were lost forever, some hold Ana responsible for the darksouls–and the newsouls who may be born in their place.
SHADOWS
Many are afraid of Ana’s presence, a constant reminder of unstoppable changes and the unknown. When sylph begin behaving differently toward her and people turn violent, Ana must learn to stand up not only for herself but for those who cannot stand up for themselves.
LOVE
Ana was told that nosouls can’t love. But newsouls? More than anything, she wants to live and love as an equal among the citizens of Heart, but even when Sam professes his deepest feelings, it seems impossible to overcome a lifetime of rejection.
In this second book in the Incarnate trilogy, Ana discovers the truth about reincarnation and will have to find a way to embrace love and make her young life meaningful. Once again, Jodi Meadows explores the extraordinary beauty and shadowed depths of the soul in a story equal parts epic romance and captivating fantasy.

I read Incarnate and really enjoyed it so I can't wait to check out Asunder!  The cover is definitely beautiful, although I like Incarnate's a bit more.  Who knows, though?  Maybe once I read the book, I'll like this cover more.  

What do you think of these new covers?

  

Cover Reveal: Everbound & Rise

I was reading some blogs yesterday and I came across an exciting cover reveal!  Brodi Ashton's new book Everbound, the sequel to Everneath, finally has a cover.  I haven't read Everneath yet but, I've heard great things about it!  

Two months ago, the Tunnels of the underworld came for Nikki Beckett. That night, Nikki's boyfriend, Jack, made the ultimate sacrifice. All Nikki wants is to save Jack before it's too late. All Cole wants is to find his queen - and he thinks Nikki is the one. Both determined, both desperate, Nikki and Cole form a tense alliance, leading them on a dangerous journey to The Heart of The Everneath.

As I continued reading my daily blog roll, I discovered yet another Harper book with an awesome new cover!  Rise by Anna Carey, the last in the Eve trilogy, now has a cover.

(No Summary has been released yet)

I'm really excited to read Once (Eve #2).  I read Eve and although I had mixed feelings about it, the end was such a cliffhanger!  I can't wait to find out what happens to Eve and Caleb.  Then I'll be on to Rise!  I think both of these covers are pretty but, I feel like if I saw them in a bookstore, they don't catch my eye.  I like when the book cover gives a little more information about the story.

We've Got it Covered {2} : Sarah Dessen Cover Changes

Hey Remarkable Readers,
It's been a while since my last "We've Got it Covered" post.  I was browsing through the blogosphere and noticed something that had only been spotlighted on a small number of blogs, which I was surprised about!  Sarah Dessen is a huge YA author and her books just got recovered.  If you've seen some of her older covers, they all had a pastel/summery vibe and matched, which I always loved!  Well, they've been recovered and this time, I like them even more!

OLDER COVERS

NEW COVERS

So!  Which covers do you prefer?  Old or New?  Which is your favorite cover of them all?  I'd have to say that I like the new covers best.  I absolutely love the new cover for That Summer with Along for the Ride and Lock & Key tying for a close second.

This Week's Topic:

Water Covers

     I'm never sure why but, I've always been in love with water covers.  I guess they add some mystery to the storyline.  Whenever I see a water cover, I always want to buy the book.  Imaginary Girls and The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer are two of my favorites!  I love how the covers for these books look as if the characters are frozen in time, or stuck in their problems, or drowning.  I guess that's just it; water covers leave so much room for interpretation!  I love that!  The Cover is in the eye of the beholder.  I feel like the cover for All These Lives is also mysterious.

What do you think of water covers?  Which one is your favorite shown above?  What are some other water covers that you like?  What should the next cover feature be?  How often should I do this feature?
