I can't wait to check it out. That purple is striking, and I love the black and purple ravens... amazing. This is one of those books I will have to buy in hardcover because of the cover!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.

I love them both! ...Oh, these are AWESOME covers!! I love them both! They're dynamically designed -- each composition startles and makes one look again. I especially like the cover of HOLLOW PIKE, although it IS pretty creepy, too, and makes me a bit uneasy. However, the concept and execution are flawless! I also like the cover of RAVEN BOYS, but the other one has a much stronger impact on me, maybe because of "the creep factor"! Lol. <br /><br />Anything by Maggie Stiefvater has GOT to be GREAT! As for the other author, I'm not very familiar with him, although I've seen this cover before. I'll go check him out on Goodreads.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing these two great choices!! : )<br /><br />Maria @ http://anightsdreamofbooks.blogspot.com/Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704973974322964016.post-21436566389546090522012-04-07T14:49:19.240-04:002012-04-07T14:49:19.240-04:00Love the covers..they are both on my wishlistLove the covers..they are both on my wishlistKimberly @ Caffeinated Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658833731713991138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704973974322964016.post-475102171764809232012-04-07T14:35:03.504-04:002012-04-07T14:35:03.504-04:00I really like both these book covers.

The contrast of the black and white is very striking. <br />This is my first look at Hollow Pike but its a great cover as well. Kind of mysterious and I like the colors. <br />Great choices this week!Cambriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550062797037161324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704973974322964016.post-35387393634299121182012-04-07T07:56:32.084-04:002012-04-07T07:56:32.084-04:00Oh I just noticed there are birds in her hair, tha...Oh I just noticed there are birds in her hair, that makes it even cooler!Wall-to-wall bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866065085086660318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704973974322964016.post-1116044463156996292012-04-07T07:55:57.866-04:002012-04-07T07:55:57.866-04:00OOO I like the second one! - Hollow Pike, but mayb...OOO I like the second one! - Hollow Pike, but maybe it has something to do with it being purple.Wall-to-wall bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866065085086660318noreply@blogger.com
