I found a couple book related things that I really wanted to share with you guys.

First, the cover for Dark Flame has been released by Alyson Noel. While I didn’t like the last book in the series, I will be reading this one. Dark Flame will be released in the US on July 7 of this year. I really like the cover but that doesn’t surprise me. So far I have liked all the covers. =]

Thank you Dani from YA All The Way for posting about this, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have known.

Next, is about a book that I have seen around the blogosphere lately that looks pretty interesting. It’s called A House Afire and it is a debut YA book by Emma Kinna. Here’s the summary and cover:
Phyllis Sorin has seen all sorts of people. With two kind Aunts who rent out the rooms of their house to anyone in need, the people she calls family are a little different from most. There’s Bill, who takes on the personalities of movie characters. There’s Quincy, whose best friend is a drag queen. There’s Anna, an opera singer and kung-fu master.
And Phyllis, well, she’s not exactly normal herself. But even as she begins to navigate high school’s social jungle, Phyllis finds comfort and humor in her odd home.
When Dominick Siddons moves in, however, all of Phyllis’s priorities become inferior to finding out his secret. A young lawyer with a vicious wit and ferocious temper, Sid may understand Phyllis in a way no one else can. And through truth and fiction, through the inevitable chaos of the house, Phyllis finds much more than she bargained for.
