The Story Siren: Books to Pine for Eleven

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 6:00 AM

Books to pine for... a collection of various Young Adult titles that have yet to be released. Books to pine for are found on my aimless wanderings on Amazon.com and Young Adult author websites. Almost all the titles mentioned are not in my possession, but oh... how I wish they were.

to pine (third-person singular simple present pines, present participle pining, simple past and past participle pined)

(intransitive) To long, to yearn so much that it causes suffering. (yep that pretty much sums it up)

My original books to pine for post: Books to Pine For, has a wide range of titles, some have been released since its post date. I hadn’t intended to make Books to Pine For a regular feature, but I continued to find books that caught my interest, thus, more posts where made: Books to Pine For II, Books to Pine For III, Books to Pine For IV, Books to Pine For V, Books to Pine For VI, Books to Pine For take Seven, Books to Pine For Eight (mini edition), Books to Pine For Ninth Edition and Books to Pine For Take Ten.

Moonlight: A Dark Guardian Novel by Rachel Hawthorne
Strange Angels by Lili St. Crow

Broken Soup by Jenny Valentine
The Secret of Dread Forest by Gillian Summers
(I've never read any of The Faire Folk Trilogy, so I'm pinning for the whole series)

Meridian by Amber Kizer
The Hollow by Jessica Verday

A Map of the Known World by Lisa Ann Sandell
Tricks by Ellen Hopkins

You've Got Blackmail by Rachel Wright
Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon
(Yes, I do have Silver Phoenix, but it's still pine-worthy!)

Lovestruck Summer by Melissa Walker
Simply Irresistible by Jennifer Banash

Night Life: A Vamps Novel by Nancy A. Collins
(I wasn't to thrilled with the first novel, but the cover alone might entice me enough to read the second book...)

I had no idea the Tricks cover had been released- it looks AWESOME!!

I really want Broken Soup, Meridian, The Hollow, Tricks, You've Got Blackmail, Silver Phoenix, Lovestruck Summer, and Simply Irrestible (which causes that old song of the same name to appear in my head whenever I read that title, lol); January 20, 2009 10:24 AM
