My tip, top book that I’m looking forward to in 2012 is definitely Queen of Glass by Sarah J. Maas.
There are also several other 2012 debuts that I can’t wait to read like Of Poseidon by Anna Banks and The Selection by Kiera Cass, plus many sophomore novels like The Girl I Used to Be by You and Embers and Echoes by Karsten Knight.
2012 is going to be an amazing year for YA releases!!

Both books look amazing, especially since their debuts, I mean this is the authors first published work and they look incredible!
I am really looking forward to, BORN WICKED, as I love witches, ever since I discovered Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Bewitched! Ever since I read the premise, I’ve been wanting to read it! Not only is the story intriguing, but the cover makes me want it even more!
