This Wednesday I am waiting for Lips Touch by Laini Taylor.
Release Date: October 1, 2009
Publisher: Arthur A. Levine Books
Age Group: Young Adult
Pages: 272
Summary:
Three tales of supernatural love, each pivoting on a kiss that is no mere kiss, but an action with profound consequences for the kissers' souls:
Goblin Fruit: In Victorian times, goblin men had only to offer young girls sumptuous fruits to tempt them to sell their souls. But what does it take to tempt today's savvy girls?
Spicy Little Curses: A demon and the ambassador to Hell tussle over the soul of a beautiful English girl in India. Matters become complicated when she falls in love and decides to test her curse. (NEXT->)
Hatchling: Six days before Esme's fourteenth birthday, her left eye turns from brown to blue. She little suspects what the change heralds, but her small safe life begins to unravel at once. What does the beautiful, fanged man want with her, and how is her fate connected to a mysterious race of demons? (From barnesandnoble.com--I don't know what the (NEXT->) is about, but I've never seen an arrow made with those characters, so it gets to stay.)

I've been pining for this one ever since Laini started talking about it on her blog--which I love reading. The cover art (done by her husband, Jim Di Bartolo) is BEAUTIFUL, and I'm sure the stories inside it are, too.

Probably a good read but I have to say, I'm not loving the cover.
I can see where it might not appeal to everyone :)I dislike my fair share of covers, too. But that's why reprints often receive new looks?
Ooo, I've read it, I've read it! And it's WONDERFUL. Truly the most beautiful, original, jaw-droppingly amazing fantasy I've read all year. It's INTELLIGENT fantasy, and so lush and romantic (and creepy!).
And I love the cover art too!
So happy you mentioned this book :)
Yay! I'm so glad to hear it's jaw-droppingly amazing :D And lush and romantic and creepy...now I just want to read it more!
