Books to Pine For (49)

Basically “Books to Pine For” are books not yet released, that I can’t wait to get my hands on (or books I’ve recently gotten my hands on… but are still pine-worthy)!

If this is your first visit to the blog, I do “Books to Pine For” sporadically, it’s a regular feature but it doesn’t have a set date I post every month or what not.

You can check out all the books to pine for posts, they start chronologically from the most recent. In case you want to check out some earlier ones I’ve done. Okay I’ve rambled enough on to the goods!

Just a note.. all the links in the titles go to their Goodreads page… easier to add to your wish list!


This one could also be called… Books to Pine for: PRETTY COVERS!

    'Angel Burn; (Just called 'Angel' in UK) Is a great book, l loved it!!
    I can't wait to read Raised by Wolves and then read the second!

  • Nevey ♦ Berry

    I can't wait to have those books…

  • Christina T

    They do have beautiful covers! I like how you grouped ths similar covers together. There are quite a few here that I want to read like Cleopatra's Moon (I loved Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran so I'm not sure how this will measure up), and Starcrossed. I haven't read Faithful yet but I want to read it this year. I have found some more titles to add to my poor TBR list. :)

  • Vivienne

    I was going to ask if Angel Burn was the same as Angel in the UK, but I can see someone has answered my question. I like Drink Slay Love, it reminds me of the 80's photos.

  • YA Bibliophile

    Hmmm, I think the girl/dress on Forgiven is the same one from The Vespertine! Both are beautiful covers!

  • Lisa

    That's a great list of books. The cover for Hourglass is so gorgeous in a spooky way. I love it!

  • Jayme @ Horribly Bookish

    I'm dying to read Forgiven and Cleopatra's Moon! Urg, such long waits.

    I've read one of Coleen Murtagh Paratores books before, and I LOVED it! Great choices, I especially love the cover for Eat Slay Love and The Liar Society. Pink hair! LOL!

  • Melissa (i swim for oceans)

    I just LOVE the cover for Hourglass! I featured it yesterday, and I must have spent at least an hour figuring that cover out haha

    All of these books sound fabulous, and I have most of them on my TBR pile already. Great features, Kristi! :)

  • Laurel

    So many awesome books! I'll have to add some of them, and gaze happily at them all! Starcrossed, Dark Parties, The Liar Society, and hourglass are the ones that I am so looking forward to reading!

  • Stephanie @ Books Are A Girl's Best Friend

    It seems to me that there have been sooo many beauitful YA covers recently. I haven't read Faithful by Janet Fox either despite it being on my wishlist but I adore that cover- it's so much prettier than the first one!

    I loved ANGEL (aka Angel Burn) and not just because Usborne is also my publisher. I have the UK version. Can't wait for the sequel! :D
