Books that Rock and should be on your Radar!

I’ve read some awesome books lately. It’s a little early for my to post reviews of them, but I want to share their awesomeness.

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. This one is coming out on December 1, 2009 from Little Brown Books for Young Readers (although Amazon.com does have it listed as in stock…) This one is a five star book! Yes, it’s long, but it’s made of awesome. Expect a full review in all it’s glory sometime this month.

Captivate by Carrie Jones. The sequel to Need. This one is coming out on January 5, 2010 from Bloomsbury USA. Another book to join the 5 star club. Even more addicting than the first novel. Carrie Jones takes this book in a direction I did not see coming at all. Expect a full review of this gem closer to January.

The Secret Year by Jennifer Hubbard. This one is hitting the shelves on January 7, 2010 from Viking Juvenile. 5 stars across the board for this one. I actually read this one a while ago after the suggestion from Michelle Zink and Vania. I devoured the thing in one day. It was just wow. I usually don’t read books so far away from their release dates, but I’m so glad I did this one… fantastic! Expect a full review closer to January.

    I SO want to read Beautiful Creatures I saw it listed on Amazon as 'in stock' too. I was sure it wasn't out yet. Maybe I will order it and see what happens!

    I haven't heard of the other books yet, but I will check them out. Thanks for the post!

    Is it just me, or does the girl on the cover of The Secret Year look like like she's eating his face off? Like, literally? I want someone to do a zombie version of that photo… :)

    Sounds good! I'm not afraid of long books after all I did pick up IT from the library and that is very long. I was just in the mood for Stephen King and have no idea where my copy of that book went.

    Okay, how can I pass something up that is made of awesome? Obviously I will be looking for Beautiful Creatures shortly after its release date.

    All those books look really really really good. Which is probably why they're all hanging out in the 5 star club

    I just recently stumbled upon your blog and I have really enjoyed looking around. I think it's great of you to take the time to review and tell people what new and exciting things are coming up. I just recently started reading more YA and I am so glad I found your blog to direct me to some good reads.

    Agree big time on The Secret Year. I just finished the ARC and was blown away. I gave it five stars on Goodreads as well.
