One for the Contemps Challenge, it sounds seriously sad but good. Harper takes a road trip to deal with her sister's suicide, and ends up discovering love and secrets.






Legend by Marie Lu
Release Date: November 29, 2011

This one seems to be getting a lot of hype. It sounds great, though... a republic at war, a privileged girl hunting down her sister's killer. Suspense, action, & romance? Yes please.





The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
Release Date: January 2, 2012

You guys know that I hate insta-love, but I'm definitely intrigued by this premise. It's set over a period of 24 hours and it involves two people with very cool names (Hadley and Oliver). Oliver just happens to be a cute British guy. Um yes, I think I'll check this one out!


Unraveling Isobel by Eileen Cook

Sprawling gothic mansion, hot new stepbrother (ooer?), ghosts... I don't even know what all, but it sounds fabulous! Plus I just love the cover.

I mean, just look at the title. How cool does that sound? Amy is a reluctant witch ranch-sitting for her sister. Ghosts, bodies discovered, AND a hot cowboy.





The Girl Is Murder by Kathryn Miller Haines
Release Date: July 19, 2011

So, this book is described as a "YA novel for fans of Veronica Mars." Me? Sold! Plus it's a historical novel, set during WWII. A teen girl helping out at her Dad's detective agency. And there's a boy! And dancing!



Lie by Caroline Bock
Release Date: August 30, 2011

This one is a more serious read, about a town torn apart by a hate crime. Skylar has to deal with whether to testify against her boyfriend as well as figure out why she would be with him in the first place.




Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs
Release Date: September 6, 2011

The series is called "Medusa Girls": do you really need more than that? But seriously, TLC writes some very fun mythology based books, and I'm sure this one will be great.






Virtuosity by Jessica Martinez
Release Date: October 18, 2011

I've actually read this one already through GalleyGrab, but I wanted to spotlight it before its October release. It's good, you guys! Music, forbidden romance, addiction, & an overbearing mother. Are you intrigued yet?

Eve by Anna Carey

Isn't the cover gorgeous? I know we continue to be bombarded with dystopian/post-apocalyptic books, but this one sounds quite interesting.





Audition by Stasia Ward Kehoe
Release Date: October 13, 2011


What if this is like the amazing novel version of Center Stage? My life would kind of be complete.






Don't Expect Magic by Kathy McCullough
Release Date: November 8, 2011


I really, really love fairy godmother stories. This one sounds like it will be funny but also quite heartfelt.






The Pledge by Kimberly Derting
Release Date: November 15, 2011


I would probably read anything by Kimberly Derting, because I adore her style of writing. This one sounds pretty unique, in that language has so much to do with the way society has been divided.

Don't Stop Now by Julie Halpern
Release Date: June 7, 2011

'Into the Wild Nerd Yonder' was such a great book, so I'm looking forward to reading more from Julie Halpern. Someone faking their own kidnapping? A road trip? BFFs turned into love? Sounds amazing.





He's So Not Worth It by Kieran Scott
Release Date: June 7, 2011

I'm a massive Kieran Scott fan, as well as a fan of the Private books which she writes under the name Kate Brian. 'She's So Dead to Us' was a great book, and I can't wait for more Ally & Jake!!





Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) by Sarah Mlynowski
Release Date: June 7, 2011

I'll read pretty much anything Sarah Mlynowski writes. Her books are always such fun, and this one doesn't sound like an exception.





Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
Release Date: August 23, 2011

I'll be the first to admit that I was late to this bandwagon, but I am so firmly on it now! I cannot WAIT to read more about Sydney, Jill, and one of my favourite characters from the Vampire Academy books.





The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
Release Date: September 27, 2011

I have to say that I was first drawn into this book by its gorgeous cover. I mean, it's amazing, really. But the concept sounds quite fascinating as well. I'm really looking forward to checking it out!

Where She Went by Gayle Forman
Release Date: April 5, 2011

I have to say that I'm late to the game with wanting to read this one. I avoided 'If I Stay' like the plague for a while, because sometimes I really can't handle sad books... however, I decided to give it a go, and I'm so glad I did. I can absolutely handle sad books when they're as beautiful and hopeful as 'If I Stay', so I absolutely cannot wait to see what happens in this one.


Back When You Were Easier to Love by Emily Wing Smith
Release Date: April 28, 2011

I first heard of this book when I signed up for the Contemps challenge, and I can't wait to read it. I love road trip novels, and I generally really like dual narratives, where part of the story is told through flashbacks, so this one sounds great.



Divergent by Veronica Roth
Release Date: May 3, 2011

So, the cover's a bit Eye of Sauron-y, isn't it? But I like it all the same. Basically, everyone who has read this seems to absolutely adore it, and I trust my fellow bloggers' opinions. Dystopia, factions, secrets. It all sounds amazing to me.




Flawless by Lara Chapman
Release Date: May 10, 2011

A modern retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac with a main character named Sarah Burke. Love it! Matchmaking, romance, and embracing your flaws? It sounds so cute and good.





Hourglass by Myra McEntire
Release Date: May 24, 2011

Apparitions, secret organizations, mystery, and romance? This sounds like a paranormal/sci-fi that is definitely my taste. And how about that cover? I've seen so many people comment on how cool it is, and I totally agree.

My Unfair Godmother by Janette Rallison
Release Date: April 12, 2011

I love Janette Rallison's books so much! They're so fun and sweet. 'My Fair Godmother' was great, so I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel!!






So Much Closer by Susane Colasanti
Release Date: May 3, 2011

I really like Susane Colasanti's books... they have a great conversational tone to them. I can't wait to see how her love of New York City translates into this book.






What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen
Release Date: May 10, 2011

It's Sarah Dessen. Do I even need to say anything else? But seriously, Sarah Dessen is one YA author that I read when I was a teenager, and I still adore her books. They're moving, inspiring, fun, and swoony all at the same time.




Between Here and Forever by Elizabeth Scott
Release Date: May 24, 2011

Dead/dying sister with a secret novels seem to be coming out in droves lately, but there's no way I would skip a book by Elizabeth Scott. I mean, hello? She's Elizabeth Scott!!






Small Town Sinners by Melissa Walker
Release Date: July 19, 2011

Melissa Walker is charming, stylish, and quite possibly one of the coolest girls ever. If that isn't enough, her books are amazing as well! If you haven't checked out the Violet series or Lovestruck Summer, you definitely should. As for this one, I'm always very interested in any mainstream book that deals with religion. Plus, serious cover lust for this one.

Trapped by Michael Northrop
Release Date: January 1, 2011

It's described as "The Breakfast Club meets The Blizzard of the Century" -- how could I not want to read it? But seriously, I have a thing for books where people get snowed in, I have no clue why. So, snowed in + high school + survival? + suspense = my kind of book.




The Iron Queen (Iron Fey #3) by Julie Kagawa
Release Date: February 1, 2011

I was lucky enough to get an eARC from NetGalley, so watch for my review within the next little while. The first two books in the series hooked me in, and I couldn't wait to read this one.





Where I Belong by Gwendolyn Heasley
Release Date: February 1, 2011

Texas? Romance? Character transformation? Yes please!! And how about that cover?? Gorgeous...








Desires of the Dead (Body Finder #2) by Kimberly Derting
Release Date: February 15, 2011

The first book was creepy and wonderful, so I can't wait to see what this one is like. Violet's ability is so interesting to read about, plus I need more Violet & Jay in my life!





Steel by Carrie Vaughn
Release Date: March 15, 2011

I'm pretty sure this book is going to kick some serious butt. The cover drew me in, but the synopsis sold it to me. Time travel, enchantment, and pirates = a win.

Matched by Ally Condie
Release Date: November 30, 2010

This is the dystopia that everyone has been talking about, and I, for one, cannot wait to read it! I think it will draw a lot of comparisons with 'Delirium' (Lauren Oliver) once that book is out, so I'm interested in comparing the two.





Fixing Delilah by Sarah Ockler
Release Date: December 1, 2010

I only recently read Twenty Boy Summer, but I wish I had read it sooner. I'm pretty sure Sarah Ockler uses magic to write, because her words get put together so flawlessly. I fully expect this one to be just as lovely and heartbreaking as her first novel.





Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
Release Date: December 2, 2010

Well, this one has been hyped by every blogger and their mother. What can I say?? Their hype has worked, and I absolutely cannot wait to read it! I've been looking for a perfect YA romance, and I think this one will work splendidly.





The Book of Spells (a Private prequel) by Kate Brian
Release Date: December 21, 2010

I was a bit skeptical when I first heard of this book. I thought "do even my beloved Private books have to be dragged into the YA paranormal genre??" ... but I'm willing to give it a chance, because I'm pretty sure Kate Brian (aka Kieran Scott) could write absolutely anything and make me love it.



Real Live Boyfriends (Ruby Oliver #4) by E. Lockart
Release Date: December 28, 2010

Who is more lovely, hilarious, and neurotic than Roo? These books are amazing: they totally crack me up.
