Recent Release: Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev

This is not a review, but an announcement about an awesome book that just came out on the 7th, Eyes Like Stars (1st book in the Théâtre Illuminata series) by Lisa Mantchev! Unfortunately, I haven't actually finished reading it yet (I have an ARC), but what I have read so far is incredible! Expect a real review soon. I couldn't find a book trailer for Eyes Like Stars, but I think the cover and blurb alone will speak for it well enough, because the cover of Eyes Like Stars is my favorite cover of 2009!

Soooo... Congratulations on your release, Lisa Mantchev!!!

In addition, a promise: I promise here to make a fan cover for Eyes Like Stars when I have completed it. If you want an example of what these look like, scroll down a few entries to see my Prophecy of the Sisters fan cover.

Here's the awesome cover of Eyes Like Stars:



Here's the blurb from Amazon:

All her world’s a stage.

Bertie Shakespeare Smith is not an actress, yet she lives in a theater.

She’s not an orphan, but she has no parents.

She knows every part, but she has no lines of her own.

That is, until now.

Enter Stage Right

NATE. Dashing pirate. Will do anything to protect Bertie.

COBWEB, MOTH, MUSTARD SEED, and PEASEBLOSSOM. Four tiny and incredibly annoying fairies. BERTIE’S sidekicks.

ARIEL. Seductive air spirit and Bertie’s weakness. The symbol of impending doom.

BERTIE. Our heroine.

Welcome to the Théâtre Illuminata, where the actors of every play ever written can be found behind the curtain. They were born to play their parts, and are bound to the Théâtre by The Book—an ancient and magical tome of scripts. Bertie is not one of them, but they are her family—and she is about to lose them all and the only home she has ever known.

Lisa Mantchev has written a debut novel that is dramatic, romantic, and witty, with an irresistible and irreverent cast of characters who are sure to enchant the audience.

P.S. - If you are interested, yes, this is contest-related. But Eyes Like Stars is really a great book, from what I've read of it and the rave reviews I've seen. In fact, I haven't come across a single bad review for it.
