I haven’t posted any bookish finds lately but today seems like the perfect day to do so. There is some seriously exciting news for book lovers!
First off, Lenore of Presenting Lenore has a book and film deal. Here is the Publishers Weekly blurb:
Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers has acquired a YA novel called Level Two by Lenore Appelhans, in a joint acquisition with CBS Films. According to S&S, this is the first time the company has coordinated a deal so that an author received a simultaneous book and film offer. In Level Two, the liminal place between our world (Level One) and heaven, Felicia spends her days reliving her memories from the security of her pod—until she gets broken out by Julian, a boy she met on Earth. Appelhans writes the popular YA blog Presenting Lenore. Level Two will be published in either fall 2012 or spring 2013, with a 200,000-copy first printing.
I am so happy for Lenore. I can’t wait to read her book.
Next up, the final book in the Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini has a title, cover, and release date!
Title: Inheritance
Release date: November 8, 2011
Last but definitely not least, the sequel to Nevermore by Kelly Creagh has a cover, title, and summary. I found this over at Squeaky Books so thanks so much for sharing!
Title: Enshadowed
Release date: January 24, 2012 (SO FAR AWAY!)Summary:CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM NEVERMORE!!!!While Varen remains a prisoner in the dream-world, Isobel is haunted by his memory. He appears to her in her dreams and soon, even in her waking life. But is she just imagining it? Isobel knows she must find a way back to Varen. She makes plans to go to Baltimore. There, she confronts the figure known throughout the world as the Poe Toaster—the same dark man who once appeared to Isobel in her dreams, calling himself “Reynolds.”
Isobel succeeds in interrupting the Toaster’s ritual and, in doing so, discovers a way to return to the dream-world. Soon, she finds herself swept up in a realm which not only holds remnants of Poe’s presence, but has also now taken on the characteristics of Varen’s innermost self. It is a dark world comprised of fear, terror, and anger.
When Isobel once more encounters Varen, she finds him changed. With his mind poisoned by the dream world, he becomes a malevolent force, bent on destroying all—even himself. Now Isobel must face a new adversary, one who also happens to be her greatest love.
Who else is as excited as I am? Love these covers and all the books sound amazing! What do you think?
yay! I hope you love it!
