Anna Godberson gets lucky in the cover department again!

Yes, but how would you walk in it?

The covers are quite nice, but I do have to wonder at the writer's abilities. I haven't picked these up yet, and I am really wavering on them, as there are so many more interesting books out there.

I got the second one in the series via Amazon Vine and was not too impressed - there is way too much bed-hopping without any consequences. I'm getting this one out from the library just for fun.

You don't - you would just stand there and be admired. And forget about going to the ladies room!

You arent missing much. As historical fiction its bad, bad bad! Like Misfit said there are no consequences. We have a rich girl sleeping with her stable boy, her rich bratty sister who would rather be poor to show her independence

and a rich slutty best friend who is a backstabber. Oh and a maid who is envious of all!

That just about sums it up. Except for the bear rug in the young misses bedroom

every YA author envies these covers.

but i know of the review by an online friend and
she said they were not a good representation
of historical period--more like a gossip girl episode.

i do love gossip girl, but...

i can't wait to read THE SEASON by sarah
maclean and review here. =)

The covers are nice, but historically speaking so off the mark. Although most teens don't know that anyway.
