I've said it before, and I'll say it again--YA cover designers create gorgeous works of art. My favorite YA cover of the month is the one for Cassandra Clare's

Keep buying supernatural historicals, editors!

You're right! Gorgeous cover!!! I saw this one at Costco yesterday, not grouped with YA but with all the NYT bestselllers. : )
That's great that it was grouped with the bestsellers!
