Event hosted by A Life Bound by Books, Confessions of a Bookaholic, Fiktshun, and Two Chicks On Books

There are soooo many books that I’m looking forward to in 2012, but here are some from my WoW posts and other randomness.

• Insurgent by Veronica Roth – Um, duh. If you’ve already read Divergent, then I need no further explanation.

• Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers – Nun assassins! This sounds awesome and I love the cover. (Psst, one of my faves, Brodie, is having an ARC giveaway for this one here!)

• For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund – Another cover that I love but…Persuasion retelling! In space!

• Insignia by S.J. Kincaid – Lucky me, I already have this waiting for me on my shelf and I’m 99% sure it will be the first book of 2012 for me. It sounds fantastic and I can’t wait to dive in.

• This Is Not a Test by Courtney Summers – Zombies and a main character that has lost the will to live? Yes, please!

• Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore – I only just read Graceling and Fire recently, but I’ve fallen in love with the world Cashore created. I’m excited to hopefully see some familiar faces again (Po!) and I’m dreading learning more about that creepy mofo, Leck.

• Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver – ALEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Other than that, Lauren Oliver is one of my favorite authors and I will read anything she writes — this is no exception.

• Shadows Cast By Stars by Catherine Knutsson – This sounds like it has a different edge from the usual dysoptian reads so I’m eager to see if this is true. Plus, that cover!

• Partials by Dan Wells – I’ve only read good reviews for this one and it sounds so.damn.awesome. Let’s hope it meets my expectations!

• The Selection by Kiera Cass – Royalty and intrigue! I’m hoping I will devour this one.

Other books I’m looking forward to (lots of sequels!):
• Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
• Rebel Heart by Moira Young
• Daughter of Smoke & Bone #2 by Laini Taylor
• Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
• Crown of Embers by Rae Carson
• Shadows by Ilsa J. Bick
• Fever by Lauren DeStefano
• Penryn & the End of Days #2 by Susan Ee
• Seraphina by Rachel Hartman
• Revived by Cat Patrick
• Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson
• The Twelve by Justin Cronin

….and only a ton more.

This Is Not A Test by Courtney Summers
Release Date: June 2012

It’s the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won’t stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous version of their former self. To Sloane Price, that doesn’t sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and since then, she’s failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems like the perfect time to give up.

As Sloane eagerly waits for the barricades to fall, she’s forced to witness the apocalypse through the eyes of five people who actually want to live. But as the days crawl by, everyone’s motivations to survive begin to change in startling ways and soon the group’s fate is determined less and less by what’s happening outside and more and more by the unpredictable and violent bids for life–and death–inside.

When everything is gone, what do you hold on to?

June 2012?! Eeeeks! Everything from the summary to the title to the cover makes me really want this book. It sounds crazy awesome and intense. I suspect this will be a read that won’t let me go until the last page is turned…and probably not even after.

What are you waiting on? Leave your link so that I can stop by!
