You Owe Me a Murder Blog Tour! Review and Q&A with Eileen Cook

Title: You Owe Me a Murder Author: Eileen Cook Release Date: March 5, 2019 Publisher: HMH Books for Young Readers Pages: 368 Source: ARC provided by Raincoast Books Add to Goodreads | Amazon.ca | Indigo Overall: 4 STARS SUMMARY   Seventeen-year-old Kim gets more than she bargained for when she is set up for murder. Perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying , E. Lockhart, and Gillian Flynn. 17-year-old Kim never expected to plot a murder. But that was before her boyfriend dumped her for another girl. Now, Kim’s stuck on a class trip to London with him and his new soulmate and she can’t help wishing he was a little bit dead, even if she’d never really do that.  But when Kim meets Nicki, a stranger on the plane who’s more than willing to listen to Kim’s woes, things start to look up. Nicki's got a great sense of humor, and when she jokes about swapping murders, Kim plays along—that is, until Kim’s ex-boyfriend mysteriously dies. Blackmailed by Nicki to fulfill her end of the deal,...

Favorite Covers: September 2011

Here are some of my favorite covers for September 2011: The Holding Things Edition



The Faerie Ring by Kiki Hamilton
I like the depth of field in this one. The focus on the ring is really smart (and shiny)! I'm also a fan of the colors, the snow, and the font.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
The cover of this one reminds me of one of those stop-motion animations that use paper or origami figures. I keep picturing it animate itself, crumpling down to leave and then reforming again as the circus. I can appreciate the whimsy of it. I also like the use of a simple font surrounded by fancy scrollwork.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
Those of you who've followed this little series of posts know that I have a thing for underwater effects on covers, and this one is no exception. I love the soft image against the rougher darkness of the background in what appears to be a drowning rescue. It's both serene and eerie at the same time.

Do you also like these covers? Are there any books being published this month that you just have to have because you love the cover so much?

Review: Far From You by Lisa Schroeder

Title: Far From You Author: Lisa Schroeder Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Publication Date: December 23, 2008 Links: Amazon | Goodreads Source: Won Lost and alone...Down the rabbit hole. Alice thought she knew what solitude was: Her mother—gone. Her father—remarried with a newborn daughter. Now... Trapped in the icy embrace of a deadly snowstorm, Alice faces the true meaning of loneliness. But hope may not be as far away as she thinks.... Alice is an interesting character. She desperately clings to her memories of her mother as her newborn half-sister provides physical evidence that her father has moved on with his life. Alice says and does things that are selfish, angsty, and bratty. But she knows how she is acting. She realizes it is perhaps not the best reaction, but that she also has the right to be a bit immature about it, especially since her best friend is growing tiresome of Alice's mourning mood. At least Alice has her boyfriend. Their relationship i...
