This one's been on my horizon for a while and is Erin Bow's debut novel. Not only does it sound fantastic but just look at that cover! It's extremely covetable! I've read some fantastic 5 star reviews for the book and luckily it's published in a few weeks so I'll be able to get my hands on it.
I'm really looking forward to this one too! The cover is awesome :D Though I'm still not sure whether I like it more than the US one... Just have to wait and see :) Great pick :D
ReplyDeleteThis book looks really pretty and sounds good too. I'm gonna add this to my TBR list asap.
