Waiting on Wednesday (29) Stunning Covers Edition

Hallo lovely readers! :)

I don't know what else to say. LOL. Except I'm growing terribly paranoid that the P.O. lost my packages again. I'm expecting quite a few and not a single one has arrived yet, and most of them are review copies! Crappy service, really. (Sorry for the book rant!)

For this week's meme, we are featuring upcoming books with GORGEOUS covers as well as equally GORGEOUS stories! Ready? Read on!

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine

Summary (from Goodreads):

Sarah Weaver wasn't looking forward to starting at an all-girls school. But that was before she met Maddy. Maddy and her best friend, Agnes, are fun and rich and interesting—and for some reason, they seem to really like Sarah. Before long, Maddy and Agnes have moved Sarah into a big house off campus, where they cook together, buy each other presents, and share each other's secrets. So why does Sarah feel like something's bizarrely wrong? As more and more cracks start to show in Maddy's and Agnes's perfect veneers, Sarah notices some strange and disturbing things: Maddy's compulsive lying, Agnes's obsession with Maddy, and the deterioration of their friendship. And just when Sarah begins to question her own sanity, things turns deadly. Fans of Pretty Little Liars will devour this juicy debut novel.

Why I'm waiting for Tris and Izzie:

I just joined the list of bloggers who were fangirling over this cover earlier today. I think it's just been recently revealed? And that's just one of the most beautiful covers I have ever seen this year! I have watched the movie for Tristan and Isolde (which this book is based on) and I love it! *squeals James Franco!* For that reason alone, this book just soared up in my TBR list!

Why I'm waiting for Vicious Little Darlings:

Did the summary just mention Pretty Little Liars? Even though the covers weirds me out every time I see it (come on... Barbies?), I love that series! Which makes me look forward to reading this book as well. Don't you just love reading about evil teenage girls out to destroy each other? I do!

Why I'm waiting for The Carrier of the Mark:

The Carrier of the Mark somehow reminds me of another yet to be released novel, Starcrossed. Plus I had to spend a few minutes staring at that wonderful cover. It's so blue, and so beautiful. Is it the season of gorgeous covers? DeRis... now that's an unusual surname. Very much intrigued to find out what awaits Megan in Ireland. (One of my favorite countries!)
