Despite the unlucky number, this crop of covers was particularly nice.  Only two covers managed to tip all the way to a thumbs down, and neither of them unanimously.  Of course, Abigail and I both started our cover art perusal with these gems… which is enough to put anyone in a good mood.

My favorite thing about a four day week is how the weekend can sneak up on you, Friday comes so quickly!  It is less fun, however, when Wednesday pops up out of no where.  I apologize for the late post today, my head was still back enjoying the holiday weekend.  I kicked off 2012 by shouting, “Wait, it’s Wednesday?!”, how has everyone else been enjoying the new year?

 

 

It’s exciting to see the covers coming in, thank you to everyone who submitted links!  This week SUCH WICKED INTENT reminded me how much I *adore* men’s formalwear and THE TEMPTATION has a cover sultry enough to carry off the title.  Of the nine series that have new titles coming out, I’m behind on more than half of them!  Anyone else hear Abigail’s TBR Pile sneaking up on them?

Spooky Legends 2011 is ending today!  We though it fitting that since she opened this event, and since she has two amazing paranormal series with new releases this season, that we’d invite Jennifer Estep back to wrap up Spooky Legends.  I made a bold statement regarding Jennifer’s newest series, Mythos Academy, when I reviewed the debut TOUCH OF FROST earlier this year.  I said it was the best thing she’d written yet.  Of course I may have to revise my statement with the sequel KISS OF FROST is published by Kensington on November 29, 2011.  Jennifer’s protagonist, Gwen Frost is taking on the Hitchhiker urban legend for us today, and if you fall have in love with her as I have, you’ll be thrilled to know that Jennifer is giving away a copy of KISS OF FROST! See details below.

Spooky Legends 2011 is on!  And what better way to kick things off than with a regular guest author whose series we collectively love here on ATUF: Jennifer Estep.  Jennifer is celebrating the release of her fifth Elemental Assassin novel, SPIDER’S REVENGE (out now from Pocket Books).  Julia got to review it just last week and noted that ‘emotional focus…makes SPIDER’S REVENGE so accessible for new readers.  Strangers to the Elemental Assassin series could jump in with book five and come up to speed very quickly.’ That’s especially good news since in addition to giving us Gin’s perspective of The Hook urban legend, Jennifer is giving away a copy of SPIDER’S REVENGE! See details below.
