The Golden Lily

RM just revealed the cover of The Golden Lily (book 2 in the Bloodlines series) on her blog. She says it will be releasing May 2012.

Here is what RM said about the cover:

Quote :

Small tweaking may always occur before a book is in print, but this is pretty much 95% of what the final will be. Cool, eh? Jill gets center stage on this one, with Sydney doing her analytic observer thing.

I love the way they designed the name... with the vine swirl look. so pretty :-)

I like how they included Jill as well, and you can definitely tell the same Sydney has been used, and like Tasha I really like the writing...but I feel like it's too white. I want more colour in the background. They can keep the white hazy look around the title, and keep the girls looking innocent and pale, but because they're both blonde, they blend too much with the background.

Doesn't have Adrian on it but I still like this cover a lot.
Why did Richelle have to give it to us now? It's not coming out for ten months.

We need a Bloodlines section in this forum.

I LOVE it. I love how Jill is on it and I like the models they are using. Now that we know the title and cover for book 2, I'm curious about 3 and who will be on it. I hope it'll be Eddie. I think they all deserve some cover time

I think the girl they picked to portray Jill couldn't be more perfect. I hope they use her again if Jill is to be on any of the other covers. I also like how the swirly vines of the lilies aren't the same as Bloodlines with the roses, but they're still so similar that they go together.

The only thing I don't like about the Bloodlines covers is how overexposed the models look. I think it sort of throws off the aesthetic of the cover with the deathly white skin and dull looking hair but with random vibrant accents (i.e. the eyes, lips, etc)... but I'm willing to get over it. Hopefully The Golden Lily will end up being more gold and metallicy embossed on the final cover.

I also hope Eddie will appear on a cover eventually.

i think its a really pretty cover! i wish we could get the first chapter of bloodlines though!

I figured everyone here already knew about, ya'll usually know everything before me , i usually find out everything by coming on SB LOL. I haven't read it yet. Waiting for idk what, maybe c if i can hold out until the book :-)

Lol, I know...we're all pretty quick with VA news here. But, I think it was released while I was still in bed, disadvantages of being halfway around the world

Yay can't wait for the book!

OMG I CAN'T WAIT!!! :DDD I want to know what happens to Zoe o.o

RM posted the second chapter to the Golden Lilly! If i read the first chapter, I don't remember it lol. I don't think i did. BUt, i plan on reading both chapters later today. SO excited

I don't think I'll be reading the chapters. I don't want to wait to keep going. It's either all or nothing for me I'll probably have to wait an extra day anyway, I don't think I'll get to any stores on Tuesday.

I read the first chapter the day it was released, btu I just saw the saw chapter was posted and read it immediately. All i can say is DIMITRI!!!! Ah, I am going crazy. I have a full day before I'll be able to get TGL and read it.

Just picked up the TGL. Apparently its been out in NZ for a few days now. Should've gone to the book store in the weekend.
Going to return to reading it now. Good amount of Dimitri so far

I got it this morning too Libby...but interning stopped me from reading it until now. Only in Chapter 2, but I plan to do a lot of reading tonight

I got TGL a couple of hours ago but being that I won't be able to put it down once I start reading it, I'm going to wait until tomorrow night to start it. I have to be at work early in the morning so I've got to get some sleep : /

I just read TGL and it's amazing!!! Can't wait for the 3rd

I stayed up until 4 am reading it. Not sure I'd say I thought it was amazing, but at least I didn't hate it. Mostly I was just waiting for the action, and then when it finally did come I was totally bored. *shrug* Though I read the Bloodlines #3 excerpt and that looks promising.

I still haven't read the #3 excerpt yet. I wanted to wait a bit and I want to write my review for TGL first (so I don't accidentally bring something from the excerpt into the review). But a friend didn't have the excerpt in her copy, so I'm going to read/type it up later for her. Maybe I'll still get a chance to write my review first *fingers crossed* ... I'm so behind on reviews.
