I’ve heard great things about Seraphina and can’t wait to read.
Butbutbut….SS&D!!! I am dying to put that gorgeousness on my book shelf. And reread, of course. Hooray, Sooz!
I’m really excited about Seraphina too! It sounds fantastic!
Cheers indeed for SS&D! I’m so looking forward to the final Artemis Fowl book. End of an era!
I LOVED Artemis Fowl when I was younger. I don’t remember what book I stopped on, but I really do want to go back and read (and reread!) them all!
Oh my gosh, that SCORPIONS OF ZAHIR cover is just AMAZING. I have never heard of this book, but one look and I want it. Wow….
And yay! Thanks for mentioning SS&D! 😀
ISN’T IT?! As soon as I saw that cover, I knew I wanted it. MG books ALWAYS have such fantastic covers!
And of course! I’m SO excited for you and SS&D!!
Most excited for SS&D (of course <3) followed by Endlessly!
Guitar Notes looks cute though and I am very curious about Tiger Lily's premise.
I’m VERY intrigued by Tiger Lily! Plus, it has a very pretty cover!
SSaD and EVE were so awesome! Also, one book that I’m really excited about that I already read but must own a copy of is MOTHERSHIP! Probably the funniest book of 2012.
Great titles! I MUST look into SCORPIONS OF ZAHIR.
I’ve never heard of MOTHERSHIP! I’m definitely going to add it to my to-read list on Goodreads (it has a fantastic cover!)
Oohh, I am in need of a comedy! Great suggestion with MOTHERSHIP 🙂
Ahhh!! NEW ARTEMIS FOWL!!! And also excited for Seraphina.
SSaD!! Congrants!!!! I still can’t get over the dress and the fact that it was handmade!
So awesome to see that people still love ARTEMIS FOWL! And YES – so excited for SS&D and Seraphina!
I’m super excited for SERAPHINA! I’ve read it and it is one of my absolute favorite reads so far this year, and I can’t wait to own a gorgeous hardcover copy of it! 😀
I’m also looking forward to SS&D and Tiger Lily. And I’m looking forward TEAM HUMAN by Justine Larbalestier and Sarah Rees Brennan, which I think is out July 3rd.
AH! That makes me even MORE excited for Seraphina!
And I vaguely remember hearing about TEAM HUMAN – gotta go add it to my Goodreads to-read list! Thanks 🙂
So many pretty books! I need to check these out on Goodreads and add them to my TBR if necessary 😉
SOMETHING STRANGE AND DEADLY!!!! OMFG. *spazzescompletely* I can’t believe it comes out this month! I’m SO EXCITED!!!!
Seraphina, The Unquiet and Guitar Notes look good, too!
Too bad I’m broke….

Yeah… being a book addict isn’t good on my wallet either 😛
I’m looking forward to so many of these, especially DARK COMPANION and ENDLESSLY. I was lucky enough to read an ARC of SS&D, and it’s PHENOMENAL! I absolutely loved it!!! Susan’s a fantastic writer 🙂
100% agree with you – Sooz is amazing!
This is so random, but when I first looked at the cover for ENDLESSLY, I thought the model was Scarlet Johansson. 😛
Hmmm, now that you mention it, I can definitely see similarities! Especially around the mouth. 😛
