2012 Releases:
1. Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness - a favorite of 2011 was The Discovery of Witches and I'm can't wait to see what happens next.
2. Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver - I've already been hearing great things!
3. There is No Dog by Meg Rosoff - I love the premise of this book and can't wait to read it.
4. Strindberg's Star by Jan Wallentin - as I said yesterday, this looks like a super-fun read!
5. Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore - I really loved Graceling so I'm really excited for the chance to enter this world again.
6. I Capture the Castle by Dodi Smith - I've been wanting to read this book forever!
7. Life of Pi by Yann Martel - this is another one of those "I can't believe I haven't read this yet!" books.
8. The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson - I've only heard great things about this book and it has been sitting on my shelves for far too long.
9. Between Shades of Grey by Ruta Sepetys - everyone was raving about this book last year!
10. Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie - I feel like I need a short but worthy book thrown in the mix (that way I'll be ready to tackle some more chunksters).
I've got quite a few of these on my "to be read soon" list too - like Pandemonium & Bitterblue.
ReplyDeleteGotta love sequels, right?!
DeleteYou have some of my all-time favourites on your list! The Gargoyle is, in a word, phenomenal. I hope that you love it as much as I did! I just started reading Pandemonium and it's sooooo good so far. I heart Lauren Oliver.

I love seeing Bitterblue on so many people's list. It's pushing me to finally read Fire.
ReplyDeleteAlison at The Cheap Reader
Bitterblue, YES, good gracious. NOW. Maybe I should reread the others first. Or not. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteI think you should definitely read Graceling (as Bitterblue is first introduced in it). But Fire is more of a side book so isn't really necessary (but it's also probably really awesome)! :)
DeleteAh, Bitterblue. Must get my grubby hands on it! :D
ReplyDeleteI completely forgot that Harkness' sequel is coming out! What's the release date? I need to add it to my TBR.
The Harkness sequel comes out July 10th - so exciting, right!?!
