I want to read Huntress by Malinda Lo because I adored Ash, and I've been wanting to read her other book. Thanks for the giveaway!

I've read some already so of those I haven't read, I'm most looking forward to Blood Red Road for something different than my norm. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, there are so many! I have read quite a few, but of the ones I haven't I would most like to read Queen of Hearts or Guantanamo Boy, I'm really in a historical fiction mood right now. Thank you for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI want to read Dead End in Norvelt--Jack Gantos is always funny and the book has a great opening line, so I'm eager to see the rest.
ReplyDeleteSo many books that I heard about but never had the chance to read! :c Lol, I really want to read The Girl of Fire and Thorns and Virtuosity.
ReplyDeleteThanks for having such an awesome giveaway! :)
I want to read Prized by Caragh O'brien. I absolutely loved Birthmarked. It packed a punch. Can't wait to read the sequel!
ReplyDeleteBlood Red Road is tops on my to read list. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I recognize several titles on that list as ones I'd really love to read. I'm going to have to check out the full thing and compare what I have read, as well. :D
ReplyDeleteMy reasons for wanting to read Chime are a bit round-about. The fact that is was the National Book Award YA finalist put it on my radar, prior to that I had dismissed it due to the lackluster cover (I know, don't judge a book . . .); in addition, the back and forth chatter about it on several listservs has piqued my interest - now if only the student who is reading it would return it:)
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Huntress...I love Melinda Lo, and it looks like a great book!
ReplyDeleteI want to read Between Shades of Gray...the past year was not one where I read much, but I heard about this one.
ReplyDeleteI want to read I Am J, because it pertains most to my community, and Chime, because I have heard/read so many great reviews about it.
ReplyDeleteI want to read Anna and the French Kiss. I have heard so many good things about it and it just looks like a cute, happy story!

I've read quite a few of those already. Loved them. I want to read Queen of Hearts.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to read Between Shades of Grey. I read Anna and the French Kiss and I LOVED it.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Blood Red Road...the premise sounds great and like something I would love
ReplyDeleteBlood Red Road is supposed to be the best. Language, story, characters all so awesome I just have to read it.
ReplyDeleteQueen of Hearts - I've read very good reviews on it and I know my niece would love it. Plus, I love historical fiction and the heroine of this book is headstrong and feisty. Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Chime. It sounds awesome! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Blood Red Road. I've heard such great things about it and it has a very compelling cover.
ReplyDeleteThanks for having the giveaway!
I'd like to read most if not all of them... but Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins would be my first choice!

I would pick Anna and the French Kiss because Stephenie Perkins writes the best love story novels that are cute and funny! I read Lola and the Boy Next Door already, so I can't wait to get a copy of Anna and the French Kiss.
ReplyDeleteSo many of those books are on my to-read this, but I think the one I want to read the most is Huntress. I recently read Ash, and loved it, so now I can't wait this sort of prequel :P
ReplyDelete(I'm Carissa St. Amand on Rafflecopter)
I want to read Between Shades of Gray, because I've read some reviews on it and it sounds like my kind of book.
ReplyDeleteI would really like "Chime". I haven't read many book set in the south and/or witches.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Between Shades of Gray. Everyone raves about this book but I just haven't had a chance yet. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read "Anna Dressed in Blood." The cover is beautiful and the reviews have been great. Ghosts, murder, YA fiction? There isn't much better.
