After nearly drowning here in Athens, I’m here for yet another Sunday to highlight all the releases of the week to come that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

Anyway, let’s leave the sad things aside! This week, there’s a huge list of books that are scheduled for release, making it really hard to pick just a few among all those tempting titles. So, let’s start!

We are back with some pretty new, or better said new-to-Susi, covers. After being swallowed by real life I had the time to finally look around the publishing schedules for 2013 and found some pretty and not so pretty titles for the upcoming months.

Join the discussion and let us know what you think.

Caro: When I first looked at the Cole cover (30 minutes ago), I thought that the little shiny spot on his mouth was a big (ogre style) tooth!
