The Raven Boys!

Oh, gosh.  Boy, am I excited to be able to tell y'all about this lovely that comes out, ummm, some time around October.  It's a long way away, but time does but swiftly pass by on the wings of joy and happiness.  And right now, I'm just about to lose my mind.  The happiness I contain is practically seeping through my ears.  There's just so much of it!  And since I was not able to go to BEA 2012, I find this a good substitute--no, a perfect substitute.
So here it is in all of it's Maggie Stiefvater glory!
The Raven Boys trailer!
Woot!

“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”
It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.
Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.
His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.
But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.
For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.
From Maggie Stiefvater, the bestselling and acclaimed author of the Shiver trilogy and The Scorpio Races, comes a spellbinding new series where the inevitability of death and the nature of love lead us to a place we’ve never been before.


Wasn't it amazeballs?  I find it awesome.  You guys, I am SO pumped and excited about this book!  I have read every single book of Maggie Stiefvater's, and that goes all the way back to the homicidal faeries in Lament and Ballad, then to Shiver, Linger, and Forever, then finally to The Scorpio Races (my favorite!).  I already know I'll love The Raven Boys, but I am keeping my mind open, as should all readers do.
Good day, everyone!
