What's Next? (5)

This week I've selected four ARCs Hannah has sent me that are all slated to come out this July, and one of which that came out in June. It's always so exciting to open up a package FULL of books :-) , so I need your help in deciding which ones to start with. 

Devine Intervention by Martha Brockenbrough

This book sounds really sweet and hilarious at the same time. Just reading the premise kinda made me laugh out loud. Having just read Angelfire, I'm already in guardian angel-mode. This book just might be the yin to Angelfire's yang.

AWorld Away by Nancy Grossman

Ever since I visited an Amish community with Girl Scouts when I was 12, I've been fascinated with these domestic outsiders. I think we can all say that we've been intrigued by the Amish at some point. This book follows a young girl during her "rumspringa", where she gets to leave her community. I'm curious to see our world from her perspective, aren't you?

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

The cover of this book alone makes me want to pick it up. I love the medieval-esque city depicted. And dragons. Dragons are cool. And these dragons can disguise themselves as humans! Now THAT is a new twist.

Cold Fury by T.M. Goeglein

First line of description: "Jason Bourne meets The Sopranos in this breathtaking adventure." Awww yeah!!

I never get tired of reading about a butt-kicking heroine.

Let me know what you all think!

Again, I'm not as in-tuned to what is new and great in the YA world, so here are a couple books I've been meaning to get to, but for one reason or another they still sit on a shelf waiting to be opened!

Legend by Marie Lu

I've seen this book around the internet and in book stores multiple times now, and as a fan of post-apocalyptic/dystopian fiction this could be epic. I really need to pick this up soon.

Cinder by Marissa Meyer

 I'm always interested in twists on classic stories, and this is the first one I've seen that's set in the future and with robots! Plus, it takes place in New Beijing...who'd a thunk it?

Bones of Faerie by Janni Lee Simner

Now this book I've chosen solely because it takes place in Missouri, even using the St. Louis arch as an important landmark in the story. As a native St. Louisan, this makes me very happy. I must read.

The Glimpse by Claire Merle

First Sentence: "Sometimes, when Ana hovered on the edge of sleep, she heard the patter of feet along the school corridor; she felt her best friend Tamsin close by - a near, warm presence like the imprint of a bed recently slept in; she saw the Board's saloon car pulling up outside the front of school, a white envelope glowing through one of their leather cases, whispering her name, her disease."
Why it's on my TBR: England. Dystopia. And the cover is cool.
