Upcoming Spring 2013 Young Adult Book Releases!

Hey Everyone! Today I am going to share some upcoming YA new release books for this spring and summer! I found some books coming out within the next few months that sounds really great and I can't wait to read them!




If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch coming out on March 26th. This book seemed really interesting to me. It's about a 15 year old girl who lives hidden in a broken down camper in the woods with her younger sister and mental ill mother. This will be one that I am definitely going to pick up!









My Life After Now by Jessica Verdi coming out on April 2nd. This books stars Lucy, who's life is turned up side down after a horrible week during her junior year in high school. She wants to get away from her life and then she does something that will changer her life forever.









Moonset by Scott Tracey coming out on April 8th. This is the first book in a Legacy of Moonset series. This series is about (from bn.com description) "Witches and their troubling family legacy." I absolutely love books about witchcraft and I am always wanting to read more. Also, I really love this cover for this book!

Dead Silence by Kimberly Derting (4th book in the Body Finder Series) coming out on April 16th. This is series that I absolutely love. The Body Finder series is such so amazing and gripping. It's suspenseful, and keeps you on edge the whole time while reading. I can't wait to read this one!








Chosen at Nightfall (Shadow Falls series #5) By C.C Hunter coming out on April 23rd. I am so excited about this book. This is another series that I really love and have been waiting for this book to come out. I am sad that this is the final book in the series but I really think it will be a great one. There is also a short novella to this series coming out in April as well called Saved at Sunrise.






The Program by Suzanne Young coming out on April 30th. This book was one that I thought sounded really good and interesting as well. This is a dystopian book where teenagers get 'infected' with depression and teen suicide is epidemic. The solution to this is called The Program, where they send teenager to cure them. Their depression is gone but they also take away their memories. So the main character tries hard to hide her true feelings to avoid getting sent to the program but as her depression gets worse, it gets harder. I thought this book sounded really good when I first herd about it, however the subject of this book is really touchy to me as of late so I am not sure if I will be picking it up right away. 

Invisibility by Andrea Cremer and David Levithan coming out on May 7th. I am super excited about this one! These are two really great writers who teamed up to write this book that sounds so amazing. It's about a boy named Stephen who is cursed with being invisible, but then he meets a girl named Elizabeth who can see him. But as they becoming closer to each other an invisible world gets in their way and threatens everything.






Star Cursed (2nd book in the Cahill Witch Chronicles) by Jessica Spotswood coming out on June 18th. I really enjoyed the first book in this series, Born Wicked, and I can't wait for this next book in the series. Like I said before, I really enjoy books about witchcraft, and this one is a really good one!

What I Read in October

Hello Everyone! I have seriously been slacking on my blog posts, I don't think I have written on here for at least a month, sorry! I had read a lot more books last month in October then in the previous months when I started this blog and I had a lot of reviews planned out. Sometimes life gets in the way and we get side tracked with things, and my heart just wasn't into writing for a little bit. I am back now and I hope to write a lot of posts in the near future.

Anyways, here is my (late) October Wrap up! I read 5 books last month, which were The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead, Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan, Whispers at Moonrise by C.C Hunter, Hold Still by Nina LaCour, and I finally, finally finished reading A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. 

-The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead was the first book that I read last month. I absolutely fell in love with Rchelle Mead's writing and the whole world she has created all over again when I read this. I put off reading this book for so long and when I finally read it I was like why didn't I read this sooner?! You can read my review for this book here.

-Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan was the second book I read this book. I know I say this about every John Green book I read but, this was definitely unlike any other book I have read before. His books keep amazing me with each one that I read. Both him and David Levithan are phenomenal writers and I encourage anyone who has not read any of their books to do so. I didn't enjoy this book as much as the other John Green books that I read, but I still really liked it because of the two different writing styles that were entwined into the book. It made a totally different and interesting aspect to my reading experience that I don't get in a lot of books.

-Whispers at Moonrise by C.C. Hunter was another really great book I read. It is the 4th book in the Shadowfalls series, and I sware with each book in this series the books just keep getting better and better. The next book in the series is going to be the final book and I'm so sad that the series is ending. This is such a great series in the YA fantasy/paranormal genre.

-Hold Still by Nina LaCour was another great contemporary novel that I have added to my collection. I read this one on my kindle, and it was a quick read. There were so many aspects in this book that I loved and it is one that I highly recommend. This was one of the books that I planned of doing a review for, but since that didn't happen I will include a mini review here. It has great character development in it, along with some amazing characters. It is about a girl whose best friend commits suicide and she finds her journal she leaves behind. It's a very emotional heart lifting book about their friendship and we get to see the main character heal and gain strength from her grief.

-Lastly, I finally finished A Game of Thrones by George R.R Martin which is the first book in the series A Song of Ice and Fire. I was so proud of myself for reading and finishing this book because it is so long (809 pages!) plus I own the mass market paperback edition so the writing is super tiny! Also, this book has a lot of detail and it's hard to read and pay attention to everything that is going on, at least for me. I tend to stay away from adult novels like this, but I loved the TV show so much that I wanted to read the book. I tried to read the book first, and I had absolutely no idea what was going on so I'm glad I watched the show first. I can't wait to read the next books in the series but they are a little overwhelming because all of the rest are 1000+ pages. Yikes!

This is all for my October wrap up post. This post was a little bit longer than my usual wrap up videos but I wanted to talked a little bit more about the books I read since I didn't do any reviews for them. This month I started reading both Hidden by P.C Cast (10th house of night book) and The Golden Compass but I wasn't really getting into either book. I am still trying to read Hidden so we will see how that goes! Thank you all for reading and have a great day :)

Book Haul #2

Hello Everyone! I wanted to share a book haul here on my blog of all the books that I recently purchased. Most of them are from Barnes and Nobel, I can not help myself when I go in there from buying too many books. Please ignore the horrible lighting on the picture below! I took it when it was dark in my house and apparently I don't have very good lighting ahh!!

The first book I purchased was The Casual Vacancy by J.K Rowling. I got this one last week the day after it came out. I was super excited about this book because I was unaware that J.K was releasing another book! It was totally unexpected, so like a little fan girl I freaked out and went and bought the book. I can't wait to read it, and I will probably be starting it some time this weekend.

The Hobbit book that you see in the picture is actually an illustrated edition of the book and it is like a graphic novel. They had a huge display at Barnes and Nobel of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I'm a huge fan of LOTR and I thought this edition of The Hobbit was pretty cool. I have not read all of the actual book, so I may read this graphic novel edition first.

I also picked up another John Green book which is Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I recently read The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska and loved them both. I plan to read all of John Green's books so this one will be next on my list!

I was really excited when I seen Whispers at Moonrise by C.C. Hunter, which is the 4th book in the Shadow Falls series. I totally forgot it came out this month and I absolutely love this series so I was so happy when I seen it.

Lastly, I picked up The Iron Legends by Julie Kagawa. This is a collection of three novellas from the Iron Fey series. I do want to read this but I don't think I will be reading it anytime soon. I don't exactly remember what happens in all of the books so I might get confused when I read the novellas because they are short stories in between the books in the series. I pretty much just wanted it to have it as part of my series collection LOL. It is on my fall TBR list though, so hopefully I will get around to reading it sometime this fall.

I hope you all enjoyed my book haul and thanks for reading!
