So excited to be back from vacation and find that Abigail has refreshed the look of Cover Art Coverage. She’s the graphical guru here on the blog, and I don’t know about you, but I love the new look. While we agree on the blog’s look, we disagree a few times on the covers this week. Abigail is all thumbs up whereas I have a few thumbs down. We’re in complete agreement about the Best this week, however, as the stunning WILLFUL IMPROPRIETY anthology blew us both away. I’m a tough sell when it comes to short stories, but this cover alone has added WILLFUL IMPROPRIETY to my TBR list, can’t wait!

Okay – A few good points, but with significant flaws. Library/swap/borrow if you want.
Welcome to Choosing Day! It’s time to choose your faction. I’ve chosen Amity: “The Amity faction values peace and friendship. Artistic, creative, and musical, this faction focuses on peacekeeping, harmony, and farming.” Sounds good right? Then help make the Amity faction the winner in the INSURGENT campaign celebrating the upcoming release of the second book in Veronica Roth’s amazing Divergent series. The faction that generates the most traffic during the month of April will be handsomely rewarded…and the Team Amity faction members (see below) are already sharing the love with some amazing giveaways (*cough* Kindles *cough* INSURGENT ARCS *cough*) with more to come throughout the month.
Some of the other Team Amity members have already chosen (and a few are holding giveaways to celebrate…you might even win an ARC of INSURGENT!)
