12 Books of '11 To Keep An Eye Out For!

In the past few months, I've had the chance to read several upcoming '11 books. All of them have been fantastic in their own ways, so I thought I would dedicate a post to 12 books to be excited for! So, without a further ado, here they are...

Awaken by Katie Kacvinsky: Awaken  is a story of a future society that's addicted to computers (to a point where they barley interact face to face anymore), but can Maddie and her friends bring this system down? This book is one of the most haunting and memorable dystopian titles I've read. I loved the characters and premise Ms. Kacvinsky had in this; she's one author to keep an eye out for, no doubt about it.

Small Town Sinners by Melissa Walker: I read this book back in late August, nearly a year before its publication, and let me tell you, I tend to still think back to it to this day because Melissa Walker has created such a fantastic story within this one... a story about religion, first love, and what ties people together.

Buy this one on July 19th 2011!

Darkness Becomes Her by Kelly Keaton: This book is haunting, dark, romantic, and nearly flawless! I read it one sitting and could barley put it down for even a second, which nearly never happens. Words of advice? If you love YA, get this book because it one of those rare books that shows just how incredible YA can be!

Buy this one February 22nd 2011!

Across the Universe by Beth Revis: Yet another incredible book! Revis' sets up an extremely enticing and unique premise in this one...one that's pure gold in my eyes and makes me eager to read the next additions of Elder and Amy's journey through space!

Buy this one January 11th 2011!

Drought by Pam Bachorz: In Drought, Pam Bachorz is back with yet another memorable and haunting story of one girl's struggle to break away from the future she's destined to. Look for a review, as well as interview with Pam, coming soon!

Choker by Elizabeth Woods: If you're a regular reader of my blog, you may know I reviewed this book a few weeks ago, but let me reiterate once again just how mind blowing and amazing this book is! If you do one thing this upcoming January, buy this book!

Ten Miles Past Normal by Frances O'Roark Dowell: An adorable, heart-warming coming of age story that will leave any reader with a smile on their face by the end!

Buy this one March 22nd 2011!

The Lipstick Laws by Amy Holder: If you loved the movie Mean Girls, you'll love this book even more because not only does it involve mean girls, but it's funny, charming, and addicting! Can't wait to see what Ms. Holder comes up with next! Even better, Amy is a fellow PA resident like yours truly and she sent me cool swag a while back. But that doesn't make me biased at all. ;)

Buy this one April 4th 2011!

Will Work for Prom Dress by Aimee Ferris: Looking for a cute, funny prom read? Well, look no further because this is the book for you!

Prom and Prejudice by Elizabeth Eulberg: While this has been available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble for the last week or so, the official release date is January 1, 2011. Anyhow, this book is yet another great one by Ms. Eulberg because not only is it witty and charming, but it's a take of off Pride and Prejudice.

Buy this book January 1st 2011!

Unearthly by Cynthia Hand: Angels and romance? What's not to love about this one? Check out my review here.

Buy this book January 4th 2011! Though, I've already seen it a few stores already! :)

The Liar Society by Lisa and Laura Roecker: When I first set down to read this book yesterday, I only expected to read a few pages and then put it down until it was closer to its March release date, but before I knew it I was hooked. Wit, romance, suspense, and action- this book has it all! I seriously can't express in words just how much I LOVED this book. Lisa and Laura? You've kind of created a fan-girl in me with this one. :) (Cover shown is not the final one)

Buy this book March 1st 2011!

In all, that includes this list. Final words: If these books are any indication of how great the books will be in 2011, I can't wait to read more, more, and more! :)
