This week’s topic is:

The Top Ten Books I’m Excited to Read in 2012

Sometimes I have trouble getting a full ten books on my list, this time I think I’ll have trouble narrowing it down!

SomethingStrangeandDeadlybig 10. Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard-An army of the dead loose in Philadelphia, and it sounds like it’s set around 1900.

 

 

 

 

Enchanted 9. Enchanted by Alethea Kontis-A retelling of the Frog Prince by a debut author!

 

 

 

 

 

Cursed 8. Cursed by Jennifer Armentrout-Ember died in a car accident, after her sister somehow brought her back, Ember’s touch makes things die.  Now she’s on a no touch policy, and realizing that the car accident may not have been an accident after all.  Cursed reminds me of the TV show Pushing Daisies, so I can’t wait to read it!

 

Selection 7. The Selection by Kiera Cass-Sounds like a dystopian version of the bachelor :)  35 girls competing to marry the prince, while rebels attack the castle.

 

 

 

 

6. Princess of the Silver Woods by Jessica Day George-No cover yet

Hallowed 5. Hallowed by Cynthia Hand-Sequel to Unearthly (the best Angel book I’ve read).

 

 

 

 

 

Erasing Time 4. Erasing Time by C. J. Hill-I don’t know anything about this book except that the cover looks cool, and it’s written by C.J. Hill (Janette Rallison) who’s one of my favorite authors of all time!

 

 

 

Revived 3. Revived by Cat Patrick-I loved Cat’s book, Forgotten, which came out last year.  Revived isn’t a sequel, but another stand alone book.  It’s about a future in which there’s a drug called revive (used by a secret government agency) that can bring people back from the dead.  I’m thinking sci-fi meets psychological thriller meets romance.

 

Until I Die 2. Until I Die by Amy Plum-Sequel to Die for Me, my favorite paranormal read of 2011.

 

 

 

 

 

Insurgent 1. Insurgent by Veronica Roth-Sequel to Divergent.  Need I say more?

 

 

 

What are you excited about reading this year?
