Books I'm looking forward to this spring/summer

March

Twilight: The Graphic Novel



Yes, I've already read Twilight a dozen times, so this won't be anything new story-wise, but I'm excited about it nonetheless. Stephenie Meyer has said that the drawings look closer to her idea of Bella and Edward than Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, so maybe it'll help wash those two out of my brain the next time I read Twilight. :-P

April

The Host paperback



Stephenie Meyer wrote a new chapter for the paperback edition, so of course I'm going to have to buy it even though my hardcover one is still as good as new. And there have been hints that a sequel could be in the works...

May

Spells



I was underwhelmed by the first book in the series (Wings), but I'm interested to see where this train wreck is headed next (I still maintain that another 50 pages could have finished off the story nicely, but somehow Aprilynne Pike talked her publisher into a 4-book deal).

Spirit Bound



I'm currently devouring this series as fast as I can, and the plot twists make this one of my most-looked-forward-to books of the summer. Will Rose be able to save Dimitri, or is he lost to her forever? I'll have to wait for May 18 to find out...

July

Linger



Since it comes out four days after my birthday I like to think this is my birthday present from Maggie Stiefvater. :-D Shiver was wintry and bittersweet, and I'm sure Linger will be just as absorbing, tense, and romantic. Hurry up, July!

August

Mockingjay



The Hunger Games series comes to a close this August, and after the bombshells Suzanne Collins dropped in book 2 I can't wait to see what happens. For the record: Team Gale all the way!

Got any you're anticipating?

Oooh! A new chapter to "The Host"? That's just not fair! ;) Twilight as a graphic novel sounds interesting. I doubt it'll make it to Denmark though - we're not big on graphic novels.

I didn't know the sequel to "Shiver" was coming out already? That's GREAT news! And I'm also really looking forward to "Mockingjay" - definitely Team Gale!

I'm also really looking forward to "Who Do I Lean On" by Neta Jackon

That's actually the only one of the three I'm going to preorder - the others can wait for my birthday or Christmas.
Actually that

Mockingjay!(!!!) So excited. Team Katniss-needs-to-figure-out-who-she-is-and-what-she-wants-outside-of-other-pressures.

ALSO, how could I forget: Stuff Christians Like (the book)! Already pre-ordered.

Fun post idea! I have a couple of books I'm looking forward to, but haven't really given this topic much though.

I had no idea there was a Twilight graphic novel coming!
