Cover Envy (17): Special Couples Edition

It's that time of week again! I'm showing another couple of covers that make me green with envy and stuck sitting on my hands until the novels they cover come out.

I hope you enjoy!


Since today is Valentine's Day, this Cover Envy edition is all about covers with couples on them. So here's a look at a few coming to stores near you!

Ripple by Mandy Hubbard- This is one of the only books (on my wishlist) that has a couple on the cover and man do I love it! The playful pose, the colors, and the title running down the side are just beautiful!


From Goodreads:


Lexi is cursed with a dark secret. The water calls to her, draws her in, forces her to sing her deadly song to unsuspecting victims. If she succumbs, she kills. If she doesn’t, the pain is unbearable. To keep herself and those she cares about safe, she shuts herself off, refusing to make friends or fall in love—again. Because the last time she fell in love with a boy, he ended up dead.

Then Lexi meets Cole. Against her better judgment, she finds herself opening up again, falling in love when she knows she shouldn’t. But when she’s offered the chance to finally live a normal life, she learns that the price she must pay to be free of her curse is giving him up.

In Ripple, Mandy Hubbard spins a sea-ravaged tale of melancholy beauty, and the choices one girl makes between land and waves, love and freedom, her future—and her heart.


Ripple comes out July 21, 2011 from Razorbill/Penguin.

Notes From A Blender by Brendan Halpin & Tricia Cook - So this isn't exactly couples but it's the perfect image to express moving in with someone. Suddenly, his and hers is side by side and sometimes it looks as off as combat boots and ballet flats!


From Goodreads:


Declan loves death metal--particularly from Finland. And video games--violent ones. And internet porn--any kind, really. He goes to school with Neilly Foster and spends most of his classroom time wondering what it might be like to know her, to talk to her, maybe even to graze against her sweater in the hallway. Neilly is an accomplished gymnast, naturally beautiful, and a constant presence at all the best parties (to which Declan is never invited). She's the queen of cool, the princess of poker face, and her rule is uncontested-- or it was until today, when she's dumped by her boyfriend, betrayed by her former BFF Lulu, and then informed she's getting a new brother--of the freaky fellow classmate variety. Declan's dad is marrying Neilly's mom. Soon. Which means they'll be moving in together.


Notes From A Blender comes out May 24, 2011 by EgmontUSA.
