1) I just found out last week that The Replacement made Booklist’s Top 10 for YA Horror. Because I have a ridiculous love of all things horror, and have wanted nothing more than to be a “horror writer” since childhood, this is basically the most excellent news ever.
2) I have real, actual ARCs of The Space Between, and this week, I’ll be giving one away over on Merry Fates.
We’re having a prompt contest, and also a very important announcement about the future of the Merry Fates blog, which you can see here.
3) Also, this is semi-related to point number two, but my sample dust jackets for The Space Between came in the mail today and they’re really, really pretty—covered in embossing and a metallic effect that looks like steel or antique silver, and I can’t stop touching the filigree because it’s bumpy.
There aren’t finished copies yet, but for the sake of having a good solid visual aid, here is a hardback of The Replacement wearing a dust jacket that does not belong to it:
And the back flap:
This book is getting so real, you guys!

Oooh… so pretty…
So, how did the snakes react to the turkeys?
The turkeys and the snakes seemed to know how stay out of each other’s way. Snakes and dogs, on the other hand . . . well, they just like to antagonize each other.
it’s so purtey. it really is.
:D I really can’t quite get over it!
gorgeous!!!! canNOT wait for this one. it’s my only book im allowed in the fall!! (we’re moving back to America so i have to downgrade how many books i get.) :)
so excited for you, Brenna!! :)
I wish I could have done a better job with the pictures, but I really have no idea what I’m doing (maybe I’ll get my sister to come over and take some). All you need to know is that it’s twice as pretty in person—at *least* twice as pretty!
It’s so pretty! I love the silver filigree on the front. I can’t wait to get one!
I had NO CLUE that the filigree was going to be all crazy like this! (Also, I am totally, totally stealing your idea and making stickers, because I think it’s the best idea ever. And I love stickers.)
That ARC looks remarkably like the book I’m reading right now…
Also, that dust jacket is gorgeous! I love the filigree. Can’t wait to get mine in the mail. Why is Novemeber so far away?
November even.
That ARC looks remarkably like the book I’m reading right now…
:D Why IS November so far away? Remember how tragic I was about this book in February? Well now it is August and I love it! (Possibly because now, it is already written.)
OMG that’s *stunning*!!!!!
Congratulations on all the great news! Well deserved, indeed!
P.S. *WANT!*
:D :D :D I don’t know what I was expecting, but it was not THIS! (I wish I could get a better picture, because this one really doesn’t show the half of it)
Oh man, that cover – so gorgeous. YAY for being a horror writer with your book in Booklists top 10! Congrats!
I’m infatuated with it! They went crazy with the embossing and it’s just so, so lovely in person.
Yay, yay, yay! So happy for you!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! I’m sure the novelty will wear off eventually, but…not yet.
