There have been a bunch of cover reveals as of late so I thought I'd just round up a bunch and share them all for anyone who has missed them. This is a pretty gorgeous bunch. I know I'm excited about them. Enjoy!
I know I already shared this cover, but I love it so much that I wanted to share it again!

Summary:
According to the guys
at Fairfield Academy, there are two types of girls: the kind you hook up
with, and the kind you're friends with. Seventeen-year-old Alyssa Reed
is the second type. And she hates it. With just one year left to change
her rank, she devises a plan to become the first type by homecoming, and
she sets her sights on the perfect date—Justin Carter, Fairfield
Academy’s biggest hottie and most notorious player.
With 57 days until the dance, Aly launches Operation Sex Appeal and sheds her tomboy image. The only thing left is for Justin actually to notice her. Enter best friend Brandon Taylor, the school’s second biggest hottie, and now Aly’s pretend boyfriend. With his help, elevating from “funny friend” to “tempting vixen” is only a matter of time.
But when everything goes according to plan, the inevitable “break up” leaves their friendship in shambles, and Aly and Brandon with feelings they can’t explain. And the fake couple discovers pretending can sometimes cost you the one thing you never expected to want.

I'm not entirely sure when the cover for Nantucket Red was released, but I just saw it and wanted to share. Nantucket Blue was really good, and I have a feeling this one is going to just destroy me.

Summary:
Cricket Thompson's
lifetime of overachieving has paid off: she's headed to Brown University
in the fall, with a spot on the lacrosse team and a scholarship that
covers almost everything. Who knew living in the dorm cost
money? An Ivy League education seems to mean living at home for the next
four years.
When Cricket is offered the chance to earn enough cash to afford a real college experience, she heads back to Nantucket for the summer. But the faraway island challenges Cricket in ways she hadn't anticipated. It's hard to focus on earning money for next year, when she finds her world opening up in entirely new ways-to art, to travel, and, most unexpectedly, to a future completely different from the one she has been working toward her whole life. A friendship blossoms with Ben, the gorgeous surfer and bartender who encourages Cricket to be free, even as she smarts at the pain of seeing Zack, her first love, falling for her worst enemy.
But one night, when Cricket finally lets herself break all her own rules, she realizes she may have ruined her carefully constructed future with one impulsive decision. Cricket must dig deep to fight for her future, discovering that success isn't just about reaching goals, but also about listening to what she's been trying to ignore-her own heart.

I need this book so badly that it physically hurts, which is funny because I know as soon as I have it, I will emotionally hurt from all the feels Julie's going to drop on me.

Summary:
VENGEANCE WILL BE HERS
Allison Sekemoto once struggled with the question: human or monster?
With the death of her love, Zeke, she has her answer.
MONSTER
Allie will embrace her cold vampire side to hunt down and end Sarren, the psychopathic vampire who murdered Zeke. But the trail is bloody and long, and Sarren has left many surprises for Allie and her companions—her creator, Kanin, and her blood brother, Jackal. The trail is leading straight to the one place they must protect at any cost—the last vampire-free zone on Earth, Eden. And Sarren has one final, brutal shock in store for Allie.
In a ruined world where no life is sacred and former allies can turn on you in one heartbeat, Allie will face her darkest days. And if she succeeds, triumph is short-lived in the face of surviving forever alone.

Summary:
After her little sister
mysteriously vanishes, seventeen-year-old Claire Graham has a choice to
make: stay snug in her little corner of Manhattan with her dropout
boyfriend, or go back to Ohio to face the hometown tragedy she's been
dying to leave behind.
But the memories of that night still haunt her in the city, and as hard as she tries to forget what her psychiatrist calls her "delusions," Claire can't seem to escape the wolf's eyes or the blood-speckled snow. Delusion or reality, Claire knows she has to hold true to the most important promise she's ever made: to keep Ella safe. She must return to her sleepy hometown in order to find Ella and keep her hallucinations at bay before they strike again. But time is quickly running out, and as Ella's trail grows fainter, the wolves are becoming startlingly real.
Now Claire must deal with her attraction to Grant, the soft-spoken boy from her past that may hold the secret to solving her sister's disappearance, while following the clues that Ella left for only her to find. Through a series of cryptic diary entries, Claire must unlock the keys to Ella's past—and her own—in order to stop another tragedy in the making, while realizing that not all things that are lost are meant to be found.

September 2014
Summary:
Finn Easton sees the
world through miles instead of minutes. It’s how he makes sense of the
world, and how he tries to convince himself that he’s a real boy and not
just a character in his father’s bestselling cult-classic book. Finn
has two things going for him: his best friend, the
possibly-insane-but-definitely-excellent Cade Hernandez, and Julia
Bishop, the first girl he’s ever loved.
Then Julia moves away, and Finn is heartbroken. Feeling restless and trapped in the book, Finn embarks on a road trip with Cade to visit their college of choice in Oklahoma. When an unexpected accident happens and the boys become unlikely heroes, they take an eye-opening detour away from everything they thought they had planned—and learn how to write their own destiny.

Plus One has now been added to my TBR list. I am strangely disturbed by the 100 Sideways Miles cover!
ReplyDeletePlus One has a pretty cover and The Forever Song is so bright. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe fine art of pretending has such a cute cover!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that cover for The Fine Art of Pretending!! Super cute! I didn't realize Nantucket Blue was going to have a sequel. I still need to read that!! I like both covers though. And 100 Sideways Miles is definitely an interesting cover to say the least!! I loved Winger so I can't wait to read more from that author!
ReplyDeleteThese covers look amazing! My favorites might be The Forever Song and 100 Sideways Miles.
ReplyDeleteAlthough people say don't just a book by its cover, I must say, it actually makes me want to read these books! Good thing they sound interesting too :P
ReplyDeletePlus One & Of Scars and Stardust seem really interesting!
