The Modified Cover Reveal + Giveaway!

 I'm super excited to be taking part in the cover reveal and swag giveaway for The Modified by C.A. Kunz, hosted by Young Adult Novel Reader Blog Tours!

 The Modified

C.A. Kunz

What would you sacrifice to save the one’s you love? To save the one who holds your
heart? To save the world?

Kenley Grayson is all too familiar with these questions. After Earth is thrust into its first intergalactic war with an unknown race called the Bringers, our military forces begin to suffer heavy losses. Desperate for a solution, the Allied Federation issues a worldwide draft for every able seventeen-year-old to enlist. As Kenley turns seventeen, she finds herself thrown into the very war that took her older brother’s life. This year’s draft is a little different than in the past though. A new program, known as the Magnus Project, has been introduced, and only the best and brightest qualify. Kenley is amongst a select few whom are chosen to join this elite group of soldiers, and as a part of this project,
undergoes a modification procedure that leaves her and her peers endowed with powers beyond their wildest dreams. As Earth continues in its struggle against the Bringers, Kenley is transported to a high-tech training facility, the Magnus Academy, to prepare for the major battle that lies ahead. It’s here that she meets the California heartthrob, and son of a legendary war hero, Landon Shaw. As
unexpected feelings toward Landon begin to develop, Kenley wonders if this is the right time or
place for romance to bloom, especially when those feelings start to interfere with her training. With the weight of the world on her shoulders, Kenley is constantly reminded of how important she and the rest of the Magnus cadets are to the fate of humanity. She is one of the Modified, Earth’s last line of defense against utter destruction.

Cover Reveal: The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another cover reveal today! The Indigo Spell is the third book in Richelle Mead's Bloodlines series! 

Oh my Rowling... It's so great! I knew it was going to be blue, considering the title, but it's so awesome! I'm guessing that's Adrian on her right, and... I don't know. The dude on her left could be Keith, or that other guy we find out about in The Golden Lily (I won't spoil it). But my big question is: Where's Sydney's tattoo!? So many questions! The anticipation is killing me. Let me know what you think!

Cover Reveal: Sever by Lauren DeStefano

Well these past two weeks have just been full of cover reveals! Today Lauren DeStefano, author of The Chemical Garden trilogy revealed the cover of her final book, Sever! I cannot describe how excited I am... So without further ado, here it is!

ISN'T IT AMAZING!!!??? I was so not expecting green, but I love it! Looking at all the different details, it makes me wonder about what they all mean to the story. I am 100% Team Linden, so the fact that she took off her wedding ring, but is still holding it (I think), makes me hopeful. :) Anyways, let me know what you think of the cover and what you get from all the details! I'd love to know if what she's holding is her ring or a june bean... Those are the two things that have been going around!

Have a great day/night!

TGIF: Some More New Covers!

Hey everyone! Happy Friday! There have been so many cover reveals this past week and although I'm sure a lot of you have seen them already, I still wanted to share in case you haven't!

 Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2) by Tahereh Mafi

OK, so I'm really not sure what to think of this... I mean, I know that the first book's cover has been changed to match this one, but I still don't really get the whole icy eyelashes. I think I still have to warm up to the covers! But I am of course, super excited for the cover!

Echo (Soul Seekers #2) by Alyson Noel 

I haven't read Fated yet, but I'm hoping to this summer. The covers on both books are absolutely gorgeous. I love the wintery theme to this one... So pretty!

Rise (Eve #3) by Anna Carey

 Ok, as much as Eve disappointed me, I am getting really excited for Once and this cover is making the suspense even worse! I'm not a huge fan of the covers of this series, but I do still love the font of the titles. Plus, this one looks very... Mysterious. Hmmm....

 Blood-Kissed Sky (Darkness Before Dawn #2) by J.A. London

I haven't read the first book in the series yet, but I'm really looking forward to it! The covers are so dark and beautiful and the font of the title is so great. I love the birds in the background, and her dress is simply amazing. 

Everbound (Everneath #2) by Brodi Ashton

SO GORGEOUS! I loved the cover of Everneath so much and I was worried how they were going to do this one. I love it! I'm so glad they stuck with the dark cloudy mist and the flowy dress. 

 Boundless (Unearthly #3) by Cynthia Hand

 I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE PINK!!! I love this cover. These books have some of the prettiest, girly-est covers I've seen. Even though Hallowed left me disappointed, I'm sure Boundless will be great!

Destroy Me (Shatter Me #1.5) by Tahereh Mafi
Ok, yeah, I like this one. I really hope I'll be able to read this, since it's only in ebook format... :/ But YAYY cover reveals!

So, what do you think of all these new covers? Did any disappoint you? Impress you? Let me know your opinions in the comments below! 

Happy Reading!

Cover Reveal: Hidden by P.C. & Kristin Cast

Hey guys! I've got some exciting news to share for all you House of Night fans who have not yet seen it! The tenth installment in the series is titles Hidden and is being released October 16th! Today the cover was revealed and I just had to share. My opinions on this series are a bit jumbled, because of how many books there are and how complex the story line is, but all in all, these are really great books. So, without further ado... THE COVER:

What do you think? Personally, I think it's pretty great. I love the fact that Zoe is looking out from behind a tree. It gives a huge air of mystery to an already mysterious looking book. The only thing I'm unsure about is the tattoing all around it. Each book has some of it on the cover, but it's usually a lot more subtle. I like the cover a lot though, and although I need to reread the series before reading this book, I'm super duper excited for its release!

Sound off in the comments below with your opinions on the cover and how you think the story will go! You can be sure there will be a ton of Neferet drama... Of course!

Happy Reading!

TGIF: Foretold release date!

Hello everyone!

 How's your day going so far? I hope it's going great because....

Isn't it a great thing, Friday? My day is going really great so far. It's my little brother's birthday today and so my mom is making ice cream cake, yummy! I have now passed the 50 follower mark and I'm on my way to meeting my goal of 75 by April 29th (my birthday), so thank you! AND, Richelle Mead just announced that the anthology Foretold, in which she has a short story about Rose and Dimitri visiting his family in Russia has been moved up to be released on August 28th! YAY!!!! Considering it was originally coming out in November, that's big news! The cover was released earlier this week so I thought I'd share that with you as well. I normally don't buy anthologies, but this one looks so great that I HAVE to get it!

 Goodreads Description:


Have you ever been tempted to look into the future? To challenge predictions? To question fate?

It's human nature to wonder about life's twists and turns. But is the future already written—or do you have the power to alter it?

From fantastical prophecies to predictions of how the future will transpire, Foretold is a collection of stories about our universal fascination with life's unknowns and of what is yet to come as interpreted by 14 of young adult fiction's brightest stars.











So, yeah! It has stories by authors like Richelle Mead, Lisa McMann, Laini Taylor and Meg Cabot. That's super exciting, and I'm really thrilled to find out what the contributed to this book! Okay, so the cover.... GORGEOUS. A little bit depressing, but it's still amazing looking. I actually really like the girl's dress.I know there's been some people saying they think it's ugly but I personally feel that it's perfect for this cover. Going back to the cover in general I think it has such a haunted feel to it, like she just woke up from a really bad nightmare or something. I mean, haunted is probably the look they were going for, so good job on that guys! Plus it's edited by Carrie Ryan which is pretty cool as well.

How excited are you for this anthology! I was jumping up and down when I saw Richelle's post about it, because if you've read the entire Vampire Academy series, you'll know how dramatic a trip to Russia would be for Rose and Dimitri! August 28th... CAN YOU COME SOON PLEASE!?

Have an excellent Friday everyone!
~Kristy

Totally Exciting Cover Reveal!!!

I cannot explain how excited I was when I saw this. I just got home and was checking Ally Condie's website and I saw her post "I have some news..." OF COURSE I clicked on the link because for any of you who have read Matched and Crossed, you would know that we haven't found out even the title of the third book in this amazing dystopian trilogy, let alone the cover and I am always looking for a hint to what it may be. 

 Well.... 

 

Isn't this gorgeous!? I was so hoping that Cassia would be standing up in the glass ball! Of course, we all knew that the cover would be red, but I wonder what that will mean in relation to the story. I love the theme that continued with this cover. For Matched, Cassia was crouched inside a sphere, pushing out and Crossed had a picture of Cassia punching the orb, on her way to escaping. This whole thing with her finally escaped from the ball is a good sign! Also, I think 'Reached' is a great title... I wonder if it means that Cassia finally reached her goal of defeating the Society? Or maybe it signifies something entirely different.
What do you think of the cover? Do you like the title? Let me know!
If you haven't already read Matched by Ally Condie, I'd suggest you pick a copy up, that is, if you enjoy dystopian series.
