The Authors:
Jenny Manzer, Author of Save Me, Kurt Cobain

1. Seven teenagers, one for each of the seven deadly sins, struggle to overcome their fatal flaws.
2. For fans of, as per my publisher, Jenny Han and Stephanie Perkins!

I am looking forward to Save Me , Kurt Cobain. I happen to have just read Where'd You Go, Bernadette, and knowing Cobain is quirky like that, makes it even more appealing.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely The Serpent King! I've read a few reviews for it, and I'm sold.
ReplyDeleteOoo these all look really great. I'm really looking forward to Save Me, Kurt Cobain the most though. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about The Serpent King and Save Me! I haven't heard about Seven Ways We Lie, but it sounds great, too!
ReplyDeleteSo so excited about the Seven Ways We Lie! It's such an interesting concept!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read my ARC of The Serpent King after I read the great review of it! Thanks for sharing all these with us!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, as always, Alyssa :D I love learning about new authors. <3 Not books for me, but I am curious about them :D Looking gorgeous. <3
ReplyDeleteHonestly I am most excited for Save Me, Kurt Cobain (NIRVANA), but I think that all of the other titles sounded intriguing as well!

ReplyDeleteI actually cannot wait to read all three! I was in 8th grade when Kurt Cobain died and it had a huge impact on my life at the time, so I am maybe a little more excited about Save Me, Kurt Cobain.
ReplyDeleteAt first I didn't even look at The Serpent King but after reading multiple reviews I am really interested. I'm not much for any religion in my books but I think this is more than that.
ReplyDeleteThe Serpent King looks great. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSeven Ways We Lie sounds the most interesting, although I am willing to be open about other books too
