Why I'm Excited: This looks like it will have some interesting points on why people are suicidal and what they will do to survive. I hope it won't just be about surviving the elements and will go into surviving yourself.

#2 in the Anna series
Why I'm Excited: I read Anna Dressed in Blood last year and LOVED it. Girl of Nightmares is one of my most anticipated 2012 releases and you better believe I'm buying it the day it comes out :)
#1 in the Glitch series
DAC
Why I'm Excited: Reason 1: Cover. Reason 2: Very cool premise. The only thing I'm worried about is the potential for a love triangle. Why does there always have to be a love triangle!? I hope this won't happen.
Why I'm Excited: Storm chasers! I loved Twister as a kid and I've always had a secret desire to drive around chasing tornadoes. I am also very interested to see how the author handles alcoholism and the different ways that family members can abandon each other.
#1 in the Throne of Glass series
DAC
Why I'm Excited: This sounds a little bit like The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones mixed together. I am a little worried it will have too much of a focus on the romantic aspect, but I hope it will be as bad ass as I think it will be.

#1 in the Aether Chronicles
DAC
Why I'm Excited: Steampunk fairies! I love this cover and I love steampunk, so I think it will be really fun.
August 14
#0 in The Maze Runner series
Why I'm Excited: I've heard so much about The Maze Runner, so I'm very interested in a prequel. It looks like it will be a full book too, not just a novella, so that's awesome.
Why I'm Excited: COVER! Also London! Museums! Monsters! Steampunk Love Interest!

Why I'm Excited: This sounds really cool, like a haunted forest story. I hope it is dark and spooky. Plus I love the title, very cool!
August 21
Why I'm Excited: Psychically linked identical twins. Sounds awesome!
#3 in the Halo series
Why I'm Excited: That cover is beautiful! I haven't read these books and I hear they suck but you gotta love the cover. I will probably read these at some point though just to make up my own mind.
#3 in the Lorien Legacy Trilogy
Why I'm Excited: I really liked the I am Number Four movie, so I'm very excited to read this series. I hope to start it soon :)
DAC
Why I'm Excited: I'm not a huge middle grade reader, but this one sounds so cute! It definitely sounds like something I would have read in middle school, so I really want to check it out.
#2 in The Apprenticeship of Victor Frankenstein
Why I'm Excited: The first book is in the works to becoming a movie (they just have a director first so no news if this is really going to happen) but just the fact that there is movie buzz piqued my interest in the story.

#1 in the Defiance series
DAC
Why I'm Excited: I love the idea of the main character fighting society and learning how to survive and going against her gender's role. I think this will be a really cool adventure story and I think there will (hopefully) be some fun romantic antics as well.
#1 in the PERSEFoNE
DAC
Why I'm Excited: Computer hacking girl! Yay! I love books about girls with computer skills (maybe because I'm an electrical engineer, but I love technology savvy females). This sounds like a totally awesome sci-fi thriller, and doesn't get too hung up on the romantic aspects.
#2 in the Wildfire series
Why I'm Excited: I love the concept for this series. I love stories about gods and goddesses and I love the fact that is isn't a Greek mythology, but a Polynesian one (awesome!).
#2 in the Nevermore series
Why I'm Excited: I read Nevermore last year and fell in LOVE. This is one of my most highly anticipated books of 2012 and I cannot wait to get my hands on it. DO WANT NOW.
DAC
Why I'm Excited: I gotta admit this concept is weird. I really want to read it just so I can see how the author handles it. I do love the setting (India) and I think it will be great to get some more cultural diversity up in YA.
