January 2013 New Reads

For the new year I've decided to do my New Reads posts a little differently.  Instead of listing the covers for every single book coming out (that can get pretty long and very image heavy!) I'm going to write about my top 5 most anticipated releases and then list any other notable releases below.  Let me know if you like the new format!

January 1

Splintered by A.G. Howard
DAC

Why I'm Excited:  I am a really big Alice in Wonderland fan, and Splintered sounds like a fantastic and dark interpretation of my well loved story.  I'm very excited to see where this novel goes!

Teeth by Hannah Moskowitz

Why I'm Excited:  Teeth has gotten rave reviews from people who were lucky enough to snag ARCs and Hannah's writing in general is praised as hard hitting and extremely emotional.  Plus tormented gay mermaid.  I'm intrigued!













January 8

Shadowlands by Kate Brian

#1 in the Shadowlands series

Why I'm Excited:  A girl in witness protection because of a serial killer on the loose?  Count me in!














January 15

Return to Me by Justina Chen Headley

Why I'm Excited:  A college book!  HOLLA!  We do not see enough books about kids in college, so I'm pumped!

Nobody but Us by Kristin Halbrook

DAC

Why I'm Excited:  I love the idea of a modern day Bonnie and Clyde.  I'm really interested to see what happens in this book, I expect it to be emotional and maybe a little heartbreaking.
