And here we have the cover for John Green's upcoming book The Fault in Our Stars, due out January 10th. I like how simple it is (yay for simple these days). I like that there are no people on it. And I like the chalk writing. It's a little hard to fall utterly in love with, however, because of the countless unbelievably awesome fan-made covers sent in. Happily, they impressed his publisher so much they're holding a contest for fan-made covers for the next edition of An Abundance of Katherines. I cannot wait to see the results! For now, I'm off to go pre-order my signed copy of tFiOS.
Ever since I fell in love with Diana Peterfreund 's Secret Society Girl series last year, I've been hoping I'd get the chance to interview her here. Tomorrow marks the release of her new novel, Rampant , and let me tell you that you have not read a book like this before. You can read my review here , but all you really need to know is that it's a story about killer unicorns and the young women who hunt them. You want to read it now, don't you? Oh, yeah, and it's YA and the first in a series! To celebrate the release, Diana graciously answered a few of my most burning questions. As she is always a delight, I know you'll enjoy them as much as I did. First things first: When did the idea for Rampant first hit you and what (if anything) did you know right off the bat? In early 2005, just after selling Secret Society Girl , I had this dream of being chased by a very dangerous unicorn. I woke up and went to go look it up to see if I could figure out the meanin...
Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that there's a cover quote from Jodi Picoult. Is it me or is that an odd choice?
YAY! So excited for this one. Can't wait for my SIGNED copy! Oh my word, he is crazy. In a really really good way.
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of the cover too! And I really should pre-order this soon because I want a first edition, signed copy. :)
ReplyDeleteChristine, yeah, that caught my eye as well. Not a name you expect to see on a John Green cover at all, is it?
ReplyDeleteSuey, lol. He really is.
Chachic, me too! Can't miss out on getting one of those. Maybe a yeti one!
Oh, I've been waiting for this cover unveil! I too like the simplicity. It's actually a little non-descript for my taste, but maybe it will make more sense after I've read it.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to preorder... What a great book to look forward to in early January.
Oh wow, thanks for sharing this Angie, I haven't seen it yet The chalk writing is great.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for this one :)
Holly, that's a good word for it--nondescript. I agree, would have liked it to make a bit more of an impression.
ReplyDeleteJo, yeah, I love the chalk writing, too. Can't wait.
Oooh, a new John Green! How exciting. Better add to the wishlist now so I don't forget.
