Out this week, 31st of August to be exact, is Jennifer Crusie’s most recently release Maybe This Time. I’m dying to read it! Honestly when I originally saw the cover posted at Tales of Whimsy I wanted to get my hands on it as soon as possible. As it turns out, I’m going to be picking it up this week for sure and hoping to be reading it very very soon! What do you think? Love the cover as much as I do? Here’s the synopsis:

Andie Miller is ready to move on in life. She wants to marry her fiancé and leave behind everything in her past, especially her ex-husband, North Archer. But when Andie tries to gain closure with him, he asks one final favor of her before they go their separate ways forever. A very distant cousin of his has died and left North as the guardian of two orphans who have driven out three nannies already, and things are getting worse. He needs a very special person to take care of the situation and he knows Andie can handle anything. When Andie meets the two children she quickly realizes things are much worse than she feared. The place is a mess, the children, Carter and Alice, aren’t your average delinquents, and the creepy old house where they live is being run by the worst housekeeper since Mrs. Danvers. What’s worse, Andie’s fiancé thinks this is all a plan by North to get Andie back, and he may be right. Andie’s dreams have been haunted by North since she arrived at the old house. And that’s not the only haunting. What follows is a hilarious adventure in exorcism, including a self-doubting parapsychologist, an annoyed medium, her Tarot-card reading mother, an avenging ex-mother-inlaw, and, of course, her jealous fiancé. And just when she thinks things couldn’t get more complicated, North shows up on the doorstep making her wonder if maybe this time things could be different between them. If Andie can just get rid of all the guests and ghosts, she’s pretty sure she can save the kids, and herself, from the past. But fate might just have another thing in mind…

Yes, I know, a little early to be thinking about the Holidays already, but when I saw the covers already springing up I couldn’t resist. What can I say? I love the lights and the coziness of the Holidays!

So, one I happen to have stumbled on was the new cover for the Kate Jacobs novel Knit the Season, I had to share. They’re releasing it in paperback on 2nd November and I’m torn between the hardcover and the new cover. I can’t decide which one I like better, they both seem so cozy, but in entirely different ways. So, what do you think? Would you prefer the original cover on the left or the new paperback cover on the right?
