The Story Siren: Books to Pine For (28)

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 12:00 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: check out all the books to pine for posts!

I know I just did one of these fairly recently.... but I couldn't resist another!

Karen Mahoney said...: That Magic Under Glass cover is so cute - I'll be getting that one, too, as it's the UK cover.

Also, the cover you have there for Dreaming of Amelia is the UK cover. The US one is very different.
