Last week whilst reading The Overflowing Library's bookshelf tour I saw the spines of these on her shelf and they looked fab, but I couldn't read the titles or the author so I asked her about them. She told me they were the old covers for The Midnighters series so I jumped on Amazon and was really exciting to find that I could still purchase the old covers. I had an anxious few days wait to see if they were really the old covers when they turned up as I've heard others mention they ordered a specific cover and received a different edition. I much prefer these to the newer ones, especially when you see them end on and the clock face the spines make when they are all together. Look here, I even took a photo for you:
The Midnighters Series spines with the pretty clock face.

You got some great books! Before I Fall is one of my favorites ever and I've heard many great things about Stolen.
Hope you enjoy them all!
before i fall is AMAZING! i hope you like it just as much as i did!
Stolen is a fantastic book that I still think about and re-read sometimes.
Love the Scott Westerfield covers! Can't wait to hear your review of the books.
I've not heard of many of these books before. I LOVE how the midnight series book spines line up to make a clock. That's really cool.
Before I Fall is supposed to be fantastic.
Stolen sounds really good but I'm turned off by the prose being in letter form. Looking forward to reading your review.
Ooh great haul this week! I really want to read the Midnighters series the old covers look really great all together like that, I hope you enjoy your books! :)
Nice mailbox! I had never heard of the Midnighters series before - but they look so nice together!!
Great books this week.
I've read Delirium but still haven't had the time to read Before I Fall - I should really get to it.

so glad they turned up in the edition you wanted! They do look fab together!
Oooh, I really have been wanting to read Before I Fall. Enjoy!
Great selection of books this week. Can't believe I still haven't read Before I fall!!
I recently got Midnighters: The Secret Hour as well! I can't wait to read it, and the spines of the three books do look great together!
Great books you got this week. I have that version of the Midnighters series too and they look awesome on the shelf. Hope you enjoy reading all your books.
Wow - I love it when the covers to series give you a little something extra for getting all books! The covers look gorgeous. :)
I just read and reviewed Stolen -- I LOVED it. If you're interested in reading a couple of reviews, check mine out: http://wonderlauren-reads.blogspot.com/2011/03/book-review-stolen.html
It is an amazing novel and I hope you enjoy it, as well as all your other new books!
I have Stolen but still haven't picked it up.
Midnight series looks awesome!
Enjoy :)
Before I Fall! Ahh! Squee! It's amazing. I hope you love it.
I agree, those covers for the Midnighters trilogy are beautiful. I love clock face on the spines!
Oh, and congrats on reaching 200 followers! :D
Looks like you got some great books! I hope you enjoy them all :)
Fab reads! I should read the Midnighters series. I also want to read Stolen.

Happy Reading!

The Scott Westerfield ones are gorgeous! I hope you enjoy them.
Excellent haul! I like the sound of teh Father of Lies book... :-)
You're so right... the Midnighter series spines placed together creates the perfect effect. Kudos to the marketing/ design dept on that one.
Great IMM and wishing you a fabulous reading spin with these books.
I've been meaning to read Stolen for ages! I've seen so many good reviews for it. Enjoy all your great books :).
Great mailbox! I have Before I Fall on loan from the library, and I can't wait to start it! Happy Reading!
Ooh, I hope you enjoy your books! I love it when publishers put effort into making the spines pretty. Even better when it's a series and they go together like that.
You got great books. I really want to read Stolen and Before I Fall. Have fun reading them!
Fantastic books this week! I love the sound of Father of Lies :)
How much do I love that the clock face lines up on those book spines? Too cool! That's actually really impressive, it's hard to ensure that level of printing accuracy! Can't wait to see what you think of Father of Lies, I read that one a while back and thought it was interesting. I need to read Before I Fall too, so many books!
Really good! Stolen was a fanastic read, very different. And I still need to read Before I Fall since I loved Delirium so much. Can't wait for your review!
I've heard many great things about Scott Westerfield but haven't read anything by him yet!
