Book Cover Release Fun!

Scrolling through all of my favorite blogs today, I noticed there were quite a few book cover reveals...they all look wonderful and I can't wait!

The Brown Bookshelf has a wonderful post about the Ruby and the Booker Boys series by Derrick Barnes. Tad P. Loves Ruby B. will be the fifth book in the series.


Entertainment Weekly posted the cover of Cassandra Claire's next novel, Clockwork Angel the first book in Clare’s new fantasy trilogy, The Infernal Devices, and her fourth novel to date. I was a big fan of her Mortal Instruments series, so I'm looking forward to this new series. 

Publishers Weekly announced the new cover for John Grisham's first book for kids (ages 8-12) Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer, which centers on a 13-year-old amateur attorney who gets involved in a murder trial. The book will be out May 25 and will have a million copy print run. My husband is a huge Grisham fan, so maybe I can get him to read it with me.


Publisher's Weekly also announced the covers of Cornelia Funke's next fantasy series, Reckless, set for worldwide release September 14. The cover images for the three simultaneously released editions due from Little, Brown (U.S), Chicken House (U.K.) and Dressler (Germany).

Scholastic announced the release of cover of the first book in the all-new graphic novel series of Captain UnderpantsThe Adventures of Ook and Gluk, Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future, which will be out in August.

I've put all of these on my wish list for summer reading!
