Cover Reveal! WHAT'S LEFT OF ME by Kat Zhang

Eva and Addie started out the same way as everyone else—two souls woven together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did the worried whispers. Why aren’t they settling? Why isn’t one of them fading? The doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn’t…

For the past three years, Eva has clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows she’s still there, trapped inside their body. Then one day, they discover there may be a way for Eva to move again. The risks are unimaginable–hybrids are considered a threat to society, so if they are caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet…for a chance to smile, to twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything.

See Kat's thoughts on her amazing cover here.

Okay, so I'm really in love with this cover for many reasons. 1) Because I love light colors 2) Because of the way you can see two faces, and one of them is faded 3) Because it's different from the usual HarperTeen covers. 

I, for one, am really excited to read this! If you haven't already, add it to your to-reads list on Goodreads. 

ABOUT KAT:
Kat Zhang loves traveling to places both real and fictional–the former allows for better souvenirs, but the latter allows for dragons, so it’s a tough pick. WHAT’S LEFT OF ME–about a girl with two souls–will be released by HarperCollins 9/18/2012. You can learn all about Kat at her site, or listen to her ramblings on twitter.

And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood.

What are YOU reading?

I just got my copy of Divergent yesterday. After reading the awesome reviews of it on goodreads I was very excited about starting it. I made a promise to myself not to read it until I was done with all my homework. I was very tempted, but somehow managed to control my urge to grab the book and devour it in one night. Now that it's Friday I'm going to read to my content. :3

So what are you reading this weekend? If you're not reading anything how's your WIP coming along?
