Yes, I do have a huge stack of books I need to read, and yes, I’m still coveting books. It’s an addiction. But without further ado, books I am currently coveting:
Persistence of Memory by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes: The premise sounds a little strange, but I love Amelia Awater-Rhodes and trust her to write a totally awesome book.
Sovay by Celia Rees: This sounds like a fantastically adventurous piece of historical fiction, and I love Celia Rees. She made me love pirates with her awesome skills.
Blue Bloods 3: Revelations by Melissa de la Cruz: I devoured the first two books in this series, so I absolutely can’t wait to read this one!
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan: Looks very interesting. I don’t know much about it, but it looks like a good book.
The Dust of 100 Dogs by AS King: One word: Pirates!
Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingtson: I love faeries.
Lament by Maggie Stiefvater: More faeries!
Bones of Faerie by Janni Lee Simner: Even more faeries!
Fate by Jennifer Lynn Barnes: This is the sequel to Tattoo, which I loved.
Shine, Coconut Moon by Neesha Meminger: I don’t actually know anything about this book. But it looks really cool.
Fairy Lust by Cyn Balog: I couldn’t find this one on Amazon, but the cover is cool and there’s fairies!
Thanks to various bloggers for giving me ideas and making me want books. And check out the list of the 2009 Debutantes’ books! Some of them aren’t out for over a year and I already want them.

I refuse to read this post. I REFUSE! How dare you post multiple faerie books! Gah! I am trying to NOT add books to my wishlist and then BUY them!

I’m looking forward to a ton of those too. If only the release dates would come sooner… :)

GAH TOO MANY BOOKS!!! Wish I had that many to read… I just finished How to Build a House and am now REREADING When It Happens because I have nothing new to read.
If I could I would spend my entire paycheck on books, but I try to limit it.

Savoy and Dust of 100 Dogs are at the top of my wish list!

I wish I had too many books to read. I hate waiting for new ones to come in. (And I bought the book I’m waiting for. Go figure.)

I have Sovay in my book bag right now, but I’m not going to pick it up until after I finish the book I’m already reading–I already did that for the most recent Bloody Jack Adventure. :-)

Thanks so much for adding my book to this list, Jocelyn! :) More about my book is up on my site, neeshameminger.com, but this is from the jacket copy:
“Samar–a.k.a. Sam–is an Indian-American teenager whose mom has kept her away from her old-fashioned family. It’s never bothered Sam, who is busy with school, friends, and a demanding boyfriend. But things change after 9/11. A guy in a turban shows up at Sam’s house–and turns out to be her uncle. He wants to reconcile the family and teach Sam about her Sikh heritage. Sam is eager, but when boys attack her uncle, chanting “Go back home, Osama!,” Sam realizes she could be in danger–and also dscovers how dangerous ignorance is.”
Thanks again, and happy reading!
