#3 in the Fairytale Retellings
Why I'm Excited: I read Sisters Red last year and liked it ok, but I am really interested in the re-telling of the little mermaid. I think it will be a lot more like the original fairytale, so I think that will be really interesting to read. Also I really support Jackson's views on gay marriage and I want to support her by buying her books too.
Why I'm Excited: Another mermaid book! This book has been on my radar for a while, and I love the premise. It sounds like a mysterious and dark romance, and I really want to read it. Plus I LOVE the title.

Why I'm Excited: I've heard this described as what to read after The Hunger Games. It sounds like an excellent adventure and I love that it's set in the Amazon rainforest.
#2 in the Dark Inside series
Why I'm Excited: I really like post-apocalyptic stories, and I really like the "insane disease" spin on zombies. It sounds like a really cool series.
#4 in the Tiger Saga
Why I'm Excited: I heard a lot of really good things about this series and I own the first two, so I really want to get started soon.

#1 in the Bandia series
DAC
Why I'm Excited: Irish mythology! AWESOME! Although it does sound a little too PNR for my taste, I'm keeping an open mind.

Why I'm Excited: This sounds like an interesting mystery that deals with the death of a soldier. It's pretty appropriate that it comes out on September 11th, and I'm curious to see how this story is handled.
#3 in the Firelight series
Why I'm Excited: When I first heard about Firelight it had mixed reviews, but I've heard more and more positive ones as the series had progressed. I'm interested in the dragon premise and the covers are just lovely.
Tilt by Ellen Hopkins
Why I'm Excited: It's Ellen Hopkins? Do I really need any more reason?

Why I'm Excited: I love thrillers that have an online element. The idea of an online truth or dare sounds really awesome, and I hope it's a cool conspiracy theory mystery.

#1 in the trilogy
Why I'm Excited: First off the cover is beautiful AND features a minority (bravo!). I also love that it will be told from three different perspectives, and these three girls who are in very different situations all wan the same thing. Revenge.

Why I'm Excited: I've actually already read this. I was approved for Butter on netgalley back in the beginning of June and started and finished it that same day. Butter is so compelling and I could relate to Butter. It's an excellent read and I'll be posting a review soon (if I haven't already).
#1 in the Diviners series
Why I'm Excited: I love the 20s and I really love the fascination with the occult in the early 20th century. Libba Bray is one of the most creative writers in the YA genre, so I know this book will be intersting and lots of fun. Also Libba Bray is coming to my local bookstore on the 19th to do a signing!!! SOOO EXCITED!
#2 in the Cold Kiss series
Why I'm Excited: I heard initially this series was a zombie series, but actually I think it's more about a girl with powers to raise the dead. I love the covers and I've heard really great things, but I'm not 100% sold. Guess we'll have to wait and see!
#3 in the Bright Young Things series
Why I'm Excited: I haven't started this series yet, but I really like the time period these are set in (1920s are so awesome!). I've heard a lot of really great things about this series and I want to start it soon.
#1 in the Raven Cycle
Why I'm Excited: Maggie Stiefvater's newest book, duh! The Scorpio Races was my favorite book from 2011, so I'm chomping at the bit for The Raven Boys!
#1 in the Lotus War series
DAC
Why I'm Excited: This sounds like a really exciting Asian fantasy and coupled with the rave reviews it's been getting, Stormdancer is high on my TBR list.
Why I'm Excited: Ten is one of my MOST anticipated books of 2012. I cannot wait to read this book, seriously I LOVED Possess and I can't wait to read McNeil's sophomore novel.
#1 in the Hybrid Chronicles
DAC
Why I'm Excited: This sounds like a really cool science fiction story. The premise is pretty strange, two souls in one body, and I'm curious to see how it will be handled. I'm excited to see where it goes!

#1 in the White Rabbit Chronicles
DAC
Why I'm Excited: I love Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and I really love works that are inspired by it. I also love zombies. So a book that combines the two? AWESOME.
#2 in the Clann series
Why I'm Exicted: These sound like your stereotypical PNR, but some of my friends really liked the first book, Crave, so I want to give this series a go!
#2 in the Beautiful Dark series
Why I'm Excited: I got the first book in the series, A Beautiful Dark, last year for my birthday but I haven't read it yet. I've heard some mixed reviews about these books and while they do seem like a love-triangle heavy PNR, I'm still curious.
#2 in the Ashes trilogy
Why i'm Excited: I've heard some really good things about this series and it has a really cool premise, so I want to check these out!
September 27 (MY BIRTHDAY!)
