T.G.I.F. (3)

Thank Great Illustrators Fridays is a book meme created and hosted by Owl Read It.

They say don't judge a book by it's cover, but a lot of the time the cover is what draws you to the book in the first place.  This meme is to show appreciation to the artists who put their time and effort into creating the great book covers of our beloved series.

To Participate:

• Pick a book cover you love (any book will do - released or not)
• Post the picture of the book along with the author, publisher & the illustrator of the cover (if you can find it, if not, that's okay too!)
• Post a brief summary of why you like the cover.  
• Take the pic above and link back to us :)

This Week's T.G.I.F. Cover:

Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger         
Published: Projected for March 5, 2013

Publisher: Simon Pulse
Illustrator(s): Can't find a name. If you know, please tell me :) And thank you, whoever you are!

My thoughts: This book is apparently about a set of star-crossed wind elementals. I LOVE how it looks like they are dancing in the sky. The golden coloring is gorgeous and I could pretty much see myself staring at it all day. The cover really drew me in, I have to say. I am excited for this book to be released.

This Week's T.G.I.F. Cover:

The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa                          

Published: Projected for October 23, 2012 by Harlequin Teen

Illustrator(s): Can't find a name.  If you know, please tell me :)

My thoughts: The covers for the Iron Fey series are all beautiful, and The Lost Prince in Series #2 of the Iron Fey is no exception.  Looks like Meghan Chase's little brother Ethan is all grown up and ready for his own adventures.  This cover is absolutely gorgeous and the illustrator deserves a round of applause.  His torso looks SO awesome!

In case you are following the Iron Fey, the first chapter of The Lost Prince can be found here.
