As one of the co-hostesses of the 2013 New Adult Reading Challenge, it’s my sworn duty to tempt everyone I can into reading New Adult books this year (and signing up for the challenge *ahem*). If I have to grab you and make you look at a gorgeous cover to do it, well that’s just my cross to bear. Was that too melodramatic? I have a pretty cover to show you though, designed by the fabulous Stephanie Mooney, who’s already done some very amazing covers I know you’ll recognize. Keep on scrolling past the good stuff and you’ll find an opportunity to win a $50 Amazon or B&N GC for sharing the news about Laura’s book too.
