I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed that there are aLOT of great books that either just came out or are just about to come out.
MOCKINJAY by (do I really have to say it…you already know) Suzanne Collins
Can I be honest here? I’ve had this book for like a week and I totally haven’t touched it. I did the same thing with the last Harry Potter book. I don’t want it to end. 
MATCHED by Ally Condie
For some reason this book has me so interested — a society where your choices are predicted and controlled and there’s a love triangle somehow?? It doesn’t come out until November, but I really want to see how the plot turns out. Such an intriguing concept.
PARANORMALCY by Kiersten White
LOOOOOVE the concept of this book. Working for the International Paranormal Containment Agengcy??? I’m in. And I’m ordering it from Amazon on payday–which is tomorrow! Can’t wait.
And since my dear kARi always does that fun “What’s in my mailbox” post, I figured I’d share my most recent deliveries:
INCARERON by Catherine Fisher
Okay, so I’m halfway through this book and I’m really liking the plot. It’s like you know what’s coming, but that’s much too simple–so what’s around the next corner?? Plus the imagery and setting is soooooo cooooool. Dystopian Victorian???
THE WOLVES OF WILLOUGHBY CHASE by Joan Aiken
I haven’t read this one yet, but the Joan Aiken books I have read have stuck with me for their clarity and plot and interesting characters. This book is older, but I had to get it! Cruel governesses and wolves–need I say more??
THE DEATH (AND FURTHER ADVENTURES) OF SILAS WINTERBOTTOM: THE BODY THIEF by Stephen M. Giles
Oh, don’t try to act like that title didn’t intrigue you. Be honest. I can’t wait to start this book and it looks like a short fun read.
And I’m currently listening to:
FAIREST by Gail Carson Levine
Wow–this story is magnetic. I’m about 5/8ths through and I’m so wrapped up in the plot! Love the characters and the setting–kingdoms and magic mirrors and an ugly protagonist that you root for!!
I haven’t heard many full-cast audio books (every character has an actor doing their voice vs just one actor doing all the voices) so it takes some getting used to. That and there’s singing. Lots of singing. I’m starting to love it.
Oh yes, reviews are coming!!

Good to hear from you.
I read Mockingjay as soon as I got it, then I was depressed for the next few days because it was over. Matched and Paranormalcy both look good to me. I tried to read Incarceron, but never could get into it. The rest of these look pretty good too, I just haven’t heard as much about them.
So little time, so many books!
I also awarded you the One Lovely Blogger and The Versatile Blogger awards.
Awesome! Gail Carson Levine is such an amazingly creative, funny writer. She’s one of my all-time favorites.
I have Incarceron and Mockinjay coming in the mail, and I’m definitely pre-ordering some of the others!
So many good books out there…if only we could read them all, right?
Kari´s last blog ..rated T for Teen- Nightshade
A few of these have been at the top of my to be read priority list but there’s a few I hadn’t heard of. THE WOLVES OF WILLOUGHBY CHASE sounds great! Thanks for the ideas!
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! I always look for book lists on line. This is a great collection. INCARCERATION is already in my to-read pile. I wish I had done it ahead of the TOMORROW series.
Now I have a few more to hunt up!
