What are you looking forward to in 2013?
Your list makes me feel accomplished! I've read 6.25 of these! (I'm partway through Taken, which is my gym book.) A couple of them fell really flat for me, but the others were all great. I won't tell you which, so you can go in with an open mind!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Wow! I am so impressed! You'll have to imagine me genuflecting Wayne's World style, "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"
DeleteThese Broken Stars & Splintered are on my list too! :) My TTT list: http://aliceinreaderland.wordpress.com/2013/01/14/debuts/

Hey, that only makes sense, considering your Alice in Wonderland themed blog! :D
DeleteThanks for the heads-up on These Broken Stars and The Falconer! I hadn't heard of these yet, and they sound great.
ReplyDeleteI have a few of these that need to be read. Some look really interesting, others not so much. But thanks for bringing them to everyone's attention.
ReplyDeleteGreat question. I look forward to discovering new authors as the year progresses, some through book review sites like this one. I also look forward to anything written by my favorite authors, which include Meg Rosoff, Thalia Chaltas, Carol Plum-Ucci, John Green, & dozens of others.
