So I was just thinking how cool it would be to be able to see what some of you guys are waiting to read and it occurred to me that you guys might want to know what I'm excited about.
Here's a selection of books I have on hold right now:
The sequel to Anna Dressed in Blood. If you haven't read the first one yet, put a hold on both books now!
Cas has the ability to "kill" ghosts. He travels around, seeking out violent, dangerous spirits to send on. In the first book, he goes up against the most violent ghost yet, Anna Dressed in Blood.
An assassin jailed in the salt mines, Celaena is called before the Crown Prince, who offers her a chance to earn her freedom by competing to become the next court assassin. When two competitors are murdered, it's up to Celaena to find the killer or risk being the next to die.
Phyre has a crush on her high-school drama teacher, a woman. She's trying to figure that out by talking to her best friend, whose name she never says.
I put this on hold because I read that it's written as a screenplay, like a script for a movie.
A long-awaited sequel to Unwind!!!
If you loved Hunger Games, you'll love Unwind. In the future, there's a war between people who are pro-life and pro-choice. The war is settled by an agreement that says no fetus can be aborted but once a child is between the ages of 15 and 18, a parent can choose to have them unwound (taken apart and used for their organs). When Connor discovers his parents plan to unwind him, he must hide for three years until he's 18 and safe again.
I put this on hold with no idea what it was about. But it's by John Green, so I'm pretty sure it'll be excellent.
Further research shows it's about a kid who is also a boat. I have no idea.
Georges moves to a new school and a new apartment building. There's a kid in his building that wants Georges to help him spy on another neighbor. I do love spy books!
I found this one on a blog entry called "The Hangover for Teens." I love one epic night sorts of books (like Will Grayson, Will Grayson or Graffiti Moon). I hope this one's good!
New Whitby, Maine is a town founded by vampires trying to escape judgement by humans. Mel lives there, but she's human and doesn't like vampires. When people she cares about start caring about vampires, she starts to rethink her stance on the supernatural residents. I put a hold on it because I read an article that says it's "a high-school vampire novel [that] doesn't suck."
