Waiting on Wednesday (42)

Posted by

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. 
My pick this week:

Paper Valentine

Brenna Yovanoff
Release date: January 8th, 2013
by Razorbill
 

PAPER VALENTINE, in which a girl haunted by the troubled ghost of her best friend finds herself sucked into a darkly mesmerizing string of murders, in which a serial killer who leaves a paper-heart ‘valentine’ on his victims’ bodies draws ever closer.

More books by Brenna:

Isn’t this cover so different? I love it it’s so intriguing. Murder mysteries have always been my favorite kind of books. For years before I went into YA, it was all that I read. So yes, I must have this! 😀 I actually haven’t read Brenna’s The Space Between yet (nor the Replacement for that matter) but having seen the fantastic reviews for it she seems like a great author, making me even more excited to read this!

What future release are you excited for?
Link me up! 🙂

    I’m really looking forward to this, too! Not *too* crazy about the cover, but I still kind of like it. I look forward to reading The Space Between, too!

  3. Leanne

    This sounds interesting. 🙂 I haven’t read any of Brenna Yovanoff’s other books, but I think I’ll try this one out. You’re right though, many people had good stuff to say about “The Space Between”. I’m a hopeless cause for creepy, gothic mystery books anyways. 😉

  5. Meg K.

    Oh, wow, I’ve never heard of this one before, but it sure looks and sounds good! It already has that creepiness in both the cover and the blurb–just my type. 😀

    Thanks for sharing!

    Yay I’m so glad you chose this! I love anything Brenna writes. I love this cover (my weakness for illustrated covers is showing isn’t it?) and I can’t wait for it either 🙂

    Yay for murder mysteries ! 🙂 I love them ! 🙂
    I like the cover too. The intricate designs on the girl’s dress and heart is just too pretty ! 😀
    Great choice, Giselle !

  11. Kathy Ann Coleman

    That certainly looks intriguing. Not sure if it’s my kind of book or not. I keep wanting to read The Replacement or The Space Between and then I forget the titles / author name when I go to Chapters. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this when it releases. 🙂

  26. Amy

    Ohh that does sound good! I really like the cover. It’s refreshingly different and really great!! I am a big mystery reader too, though I don’t really read them as much as I used to. I love creepy too. I haven’t read any of her books either, not sure why since I have heard good things about them. Great pick!

  27. Eileen

    I hope you get that book eventually! 🙂 I saw the cover reveal for it a while ago and the cover looks so gorgeous! It’s really different from your normal covers with a actual model on it, don’t you think? I wonder why we haven’t seen many covers like this before.

  28. Sarah (saz101)

    Oooooh, Giselle! It looks AMAZING! I HAVE The Replacement and The Space Between sitting here, but I’ve still not read them… but I’m kind of dying to… and now this? IT LOOKS AMAZING :O
    I love that Brenna writes standalones 😀

  29. Audris

    A mystery with a serial killer? YES. YES. YES. I must read this. I read The Replacement and it was really different but very enjoyable. I love the cover for Paper Valentine too. Great pick. I will definitely be adding this one to my tbr!

  33. Katie @ BlookGirl

    Oooh, I love the cover for this one! And the premise is pretty intriguing. I am adding this to my GR right now!

    I used to read nothing but murder mysteries and true crime books, too! I bet we’ve read a lot of the same things 🙂

    Great pick, love muffin!

  34. Jasprit

    Another awesome find Giselle! The cover is absolutely gorgeous, but the premise also sounds amazing too! I’ll definitely be adding this to my tbr! 🙂

  36. Kristin @ My ParaHangover

    I’m with you, I can kind of tell she’s a good author from who’s reviewing her and what their saying. I picked up Space Between b/c the story was so different and the cover is gorgeous – I love the artist!! This one is just as beautiful but quirky, I’ll have to make sure I add this 🙂 Fab pick!!!

  37. Silverlight

    The covers to Brenna’s books are so unique and similar. Love the designs and how they all have that paper doilie look. The plot seems interesting and although I haven’t read a murder mystery in awhile, I may just have to look into this authors books. 🙂

  41. Carina

    Okay, I’m in love with that cover – it could be reason enough to buy this book. 😀 But I like this short synopsis as well, so I’ll definitely have to keep it in mind. I’ve had a copy of THE SPACE BETWEEN on my shelf for quite a while now, so I definitely should get to it soon. 🙂

  44. Tiffany Drew

    I love this cover! I hadn’t heard of this before so I’m adding it to my wish list now. I just got my hands on The Replacement (finally!) not too long ago and I’m so hoping I can read it soon. This book looks awesome too! Thanks for sharing 🙂

  46. Heather

    I love the cover of Paper Valentine and wow does it sounds good! I’m excited for Libera Me, the next full-length novel by Christine Fonseca. Can’t wait!

  47. Sam

    This sounds sooo good! And that cover is beyond amazing. They should have things like that more often! Amazing pick this week, Giselle! 🙂

  50. bookworm105

    I’m looking forward to this one as well. I recently read The Space Beween (Smoulder-UK and Aus ver) and it was awesome! Murder mystery is my kind of thing as well. It’s Something i have been hooked on since i was a kid.

    Amazing pick! =D

  54. Shooting Stars Mag

    Oh my goodness, this sounds amazing. I hadn’t heard of it yet so thanks! Love the cover. It’s very different but in a dark, lovely sort of way. I haven’t read anything by this author yet either but I want to read The Replacement and my sister read The Space Between and enjoyed it.

  55. Amber Hughes

    I love that O’Dell & you picked the same W.o.W. this week-haha! Great choice! This one does sound really good. I’ve read the Replacements, but still need to read The Space Between. It’s on the bookshelf!

  61. Gabby

    I love Brenna Yovanoff she is such a talented writer, I really really enjoyed The Replacement and I will no doubt enjoy paper Valentine!

    Fantastic Pick Giselle

    My wow:My wow

  62. Addie R.

    Oohh great pick! I remember when it didn’t even have a cover!
    I only read Brenna’s The Space Between and really liked it and her writing, so I’m definitley adding this one to my TBR list.

  63. margie c {the bumble girl}

    This cover is so gorgeous and memorable! I would buy it just for that, lol! I’m not a fan on murder mysteries, I get to anxious and it’s hard from me to refrain from taking a peek at the last chapter, lol! But I’m adding it to my list 😉
    Thanks much!!!

  72. Lena

    wow that looks great to me as well!!!! I love murder mysteries as well- they are my favorite type of books to read…. 🙂
