Just three today, from the covers of the two current volumes of Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus Trilogy...



And one from the cover of Susannah Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.



Simply because I always associate these books together--the Bartimaeus trilogy could easily be the modern-day continuation of S&N...

DUDE! BARTIMAEUS! You rock. Stealing the Golem's Eye one once I get home.

I love the inverted crow. I'll credit you for it.

And I like your icon... ;-)

Wow, those Stroud icons make me want to read the book. :)

They are utterly excellent. In my opinion, the best YA fantasy out there right now (and I read all of it I can get my hands on).

What is the first one called?

[pockettheroach.livejournal.com]

The Amulet of Samarkand. The second one just came out last month, I think, and I think it's better than the first...but the fact that I went to the trouble of pre-ordering the second one, which I have never done before, is definitely a testament to how good the first was.

Ha, those are some of the ones I came across when I was looking for my mystery book. No wonder they sounded familiar.
