Books to Pine For (41)

Thursday, August 5, 2010 at 12:00 AM
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 wishlist!

This is more a middle grade novel, and I'm not really all that sure what it is about... but Catherine Clark always writes a feel good, hilarious novel, and I'm hoping this one won't be an exception. Coming in October 2010 from Egmont USA.

So.... I know I got this one last week, but I still wanted to 'pine for' it so I could show off the awesome cover. The summary of this one reminded me a little bit of The Giver, with the Society that chooses everything for you... this one sounds awesome. I can't wait to dig into it!! Coming in November 2010 from Dutton.


This one is another debut that I'm very excited for. It is inspired by 'The Snow Queen' by Hans Christen Anderson... and I believe it's also loosely based on Norse mythology. All I know is that it sounds awesome. Coming in October 2010 from Candlewick.

Beth is such a fantastic author, I've really been wanting to read another one of her novels! This one I believe is a historical fiction. And how beautiful is that cover! WOW. Coming August 2010 from Egmont USA.



A re-telling of Sleeping Beauty... only my all time favorite fairy-tale ever. Yes, please! Coming September 2010 from MTV books.

This is by the same author that wrote Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. It's sounds like something along the same lines. It might be good! Coming August 2010


Um wow, how awesome is that cover... beautiful! All I saw in the summary was 'victiorian' and 'love' so I'm in! Coming September 2010 from Houghton Mifflin.

Book Two... I want it now... I want it right now! I'm not even a big 'mystery' fan, but I love me some in this series! Coming August 2010 from Candlewick.


I think the title really says it all. Havard+scandal+steamy romance= yes please! Coming August 2010 from Greenwilloe.

The summary on this one really intrigued me for some reason. Not normally something I'd go for, but I really want to check this one out. Coming September 2010 from HarperTeen.


Could this one be about dragons? I like dragons! Coming September 2010 from Egmont USA.

A novel from an Aussie author. It's described 'gripping & disquieting'... to behold the power of transformation, wouldn't that be wonderful. Coming August 2010 from Candlewick.


Been dying to read more novels by Wood, since my disappointment in What I Wore to Save the World. This one sounds awesome!  Coming July 2010 from Balzer & Bray.

Another debut, and this one sounds hilarious. And does that cover not pique your interest! Can't wait to read this one! Coming August 2010 from Candlewick

I have no idea what this one is about but the cover totally has my attention. Coming September 2010 from FLux

When the Stars Go Blue by Caridad Ferrer
How beautiful is this cover! It's stunning! I love it. Haven't heard much about this one, but the cover has me hooked. I own a few books by Caridad, but have not read them yet, this may have to be my first. Coming November 2010 from St. Martin's Griffin.



Freak Magnet by Andrew Auseon
Love the title! This is a he said/she said book, and I always enjoy reading the pov of the opposite sex. Coming June 2010 from HarperTeen.

Rush by Jonathon Friesen
Can't find a Goodreads page for this one either. Anyhow.. sounds great, it's about an adrenaline junkie and his best friend.. the secret love of his life.. and something about becoming a firefighter... lol! Sounds good though. Coming June 2010 from Speak.

It feels like I just did one of these... but alas there is no shortage of awesome books!

The Other Side of the Dark by Sarah Smith

Grace by Elizabeth Scott
I don't even care what this one is about, it by Elizabeth freaggin' Scott. But I believe it's some sort of dystpian novel. Coming September 16, 2010 from Dutton.


Poser by Sue Wyshynski
For some reason when I look at this cover it makes me think of a cross between the movies Blue Crush and Mean Girls! A book about surfing and social acceptance! Coming June 8, 2010 from Walker Books for Young Readers.

Two words... princess & dragon. Yes please! Coming July 1, 2010 from Bethany House.


Misguided Angel by Melissa de la Cruz
Okay so this one is part of the Blue Bloods series... not The Keys to Repository, which is actually a "guidebook" to the series. Which I really need at this point, because with all the subplots, I am totally lost, who is good and who is bad? Who is related and married and promised to who! Wasn't in love with the last book so I'm really hoping this one reaffirms my love for the series. Coming October 5, 2010 from Disney Hyperion.

Guardian of the Gate by Michelle Zink
This series recently got a makeover. I have to say that the new covers are beautiful, and I think that they will appeal to a whole new set of readers.

How will an anorexic seventeen-year-old girl from the suburbs fare as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?" Coming October 18, 2010 from Graphia.
