Tanzanite's Castle Full of Books

I found a few great covers today for books recently mentioned on Weekly Wishlist - as well as a new one for the wishlist!

This is the cover for the new book by Cecelia Holland about Eleanor of Aquitaine.  For some reason, the print on the cover with the book title (which appears on the bottom in gold letters on a black background)and Holland's name does not show up on the image I copied.  Here is the info for the book which is scheduled to be released in the US on August 3, 2010. 
1151: As Duchess of Aquitaine, Eleanor grew up knowing what it was to be regarded for herself and not for her husband’s title. Now, as wife to Louis VII and Queen of France, she has found herself unsatisfied with reflected glory—and feeling constantly under threat, even though she outranks every woman in Paris.  Then, standing beside her much older husband in the course of a court ceremony, Eleanor locks eyes
with a man—hardly more than a boy, really—across the throne room, and knows that her world has changed irrevocably…
He is Henry D’Anjou, eldest son of the Duke of Anjou, and he is in line, somewhat tenuously, for the British throne. She meets him in secret.  She has a gift for secrecy, for she is watched like a prisoner by spies even among her own women.  She is determined that Louis must set her free.  Employing deception and disguise, seduction and manipulation, Eleanor is determined to find her way to power—and make her mark on history.
