First and foremost, I am excited for these books, which won’t be released until after the new year …
As for books I can start immediately …
1. More Than This by Patrick Ness | I’m convinced Ness is a genius, and this one sounds like it might be his best yet! From the description it seems to be about a boy named Seth who doesn’t know if he is alive or dead. Yes.
2. OCD Love Story by Cory Ann Haydu | I need to read this for obvious reasons!
3. Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein | Historical fiction is not my first choice, but everyone tells me I have to read this one! I’m personally hoping it will be along the lines of The Book Thief.
4. The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen | I’ve needed to read this one for a long time!
5. All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill | More confusion. Dual stories that might really only be one? I’m in.
6. Red by Alison Cherry | Recommended by Melina Marchetta, so I say, “Yes, ma’am!”
7. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling | I’ve read this before, of course, but I won a gift card from Alison at Hardcovers & Heroines and bought the audiobook, and I’m pumped to listen to Jim Dale’s amazing performance of this, my second favorite of the series (after Deathly Hallows)!
8. Just One Day by Gayle Forman | Everyone in the blogosphere keeps talking about Just One Year, the companion book to this one, and since I haven’t read the first book yet, I keep skipping all those blog posts (too scared of spoilers!). It’s time I dove into the world of Gayle Forman. She’s the favorite author of some of my friends and I haven’t read anything by her yet!
9. My Bright Abyss by Christian Wiman. The one non-fiction book on my list, I want to read this one slowly enough to chew and savor it. I’ve read the first chapter of this book (from the library), and it was packed so full of meaning that I just knew I had to buy my own copy so that I could digest it slowly.
10. Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin | Barnes & Noble had a blog post that listed this as a good book for fans of John Green. I bought it and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. I’ve read the other two books on the list already!
Bonus: After I bought those two books, John Green mentioned on Facebook that they were great!
P.S. I love the internet.

I adored Code Name Verity but can’t seem to get into The Book Thief… Code Name Verity is very unique and I feel like people either love it or hate it.
Have you read anything else by Gabrielle Zevin? You should totally check out..basically all of her books. They’re so drastically different from each other! Memoirs to my knowledge (as the only YA one I haven’t read yet) is contemporary, Elsewhere is contemporaryish? It’s set in the afterlife but doesn’t have a supernatural feel. And her Birthright trilogy is a dystopia. And they are ALL. AWESOME.
I’m also looking forward to reading Ignite Me. I really want to read More Than This too 🙂 I loved All Our Yesterdays. I hope you like it too.
I kept hearing about Just One Day too and decided to buy my own copy. Man that book was great! It did take me a while to get into it though. I really loved it and can see why everyone was raving about it. I have to read Just One Year next but I’ve kind of been in a Gayle Forman hangover from the Just One Day.
More Than This is amazing! Probably my favorite book of 2013! Hope you enjoy it!
I would love to reread the Harry Potter books too but I don’t think I will have the time with all the other books I want to read and that ever growing TBR of mine 😀
I’ve only read Ness & J.K. Rowling of your chocies, and haven’t read the Ness you mention but will make a note of it. I’m not an audio book guy, I’ve heard that the audio versions of HP books are wonderful.
Happy reading!

I must insist that you read All Our Yesterdays as soon as humanly possible. I just read it a few weeks back and holy amazing batman! And The Truth About Forever is my FAVORITE Dessen book ever.
Great list.
Ahh what a great list! So many here I want to read also: Code Name Verity, More than This, All Our Yesterdays, and Just One Day.
Great list. I still need to get to All Our Yesterdays, have heard great things about that one! Hope you get to them all 🙂 My TTT.
I really liked Just One Day!! I have Just One Year, but haven’t gotten to it yet. I also really want to read Red…. and…. start my first Harry Potter book. 🙂
Great list! I am dying for Ignite Me, and I want to read a lot of the others! Half-Blood Prince is my favorite HP book! I’m currently listening to the audio of Order of the Phoenix!
