    I’ve heard great things about Seraphina and can’t wait to read.

    Butbutbut….SS&D!!! I am dying to put that gorgeousness on my book shelf. And reread, of course. Hooray, Sooz!

    Cheers indeed for SS&D! I’m so looking forward to the final Artemis Fowl book. End of an era!

      I LOVED Artemis Fowl when I was younger. I don’t remember what book I stopped on, but I really do want to go back and read (and reread!) them all!

    Oh my gosh, that SCORPIONS OF ZAHIR cover is just AMAZING. I have never heard of this book, but one look and I want it. Wow….

      ISN’T IT?! As soon as I saw that cover, I knew I wanted it. MG books ALWAYS have such fantastic covers!

      And of course! I’m SO excited for you and SS&D!!

    Most excited for SS&D (of course <3) followed by Endlessly!

    Guitar Notes looks cute though and I am very curious about Tiger Lily's premise.

    SSaD and EVE were so awesome! Also, one book that I’m really excited about that I already read but must own a copy of is MOTHERSHIP! Probably the funniest book of 2012.

    Great titles! I MUST look into SCORPIONS OF ZAHIR.

    I’m super excited for SERAPHINA! I’ve read it and it is one of my absolute favorite reads so far this year, and I can’t wait to own a gorgeous hardcover copy of it! 😀

    I’m also looking forward to SS&D and Tiger Lily. And I’m looking forward TEAM HUMAN by Justine Larbalestier and Sarah Rees Brennan, which I think is out July 3rd.

    I’m looking forward to so many of these, especially DARK COMPANION and ENDLESSLY. I was lucky enough to read an ARC of SS&D, and it’s PHENOMENAL! I absolutely loved it!!! Susan’s a fantastic writer 🙂

    This is so random, but when I first looked at the cover for ENDLESSLY, I thought the model was Scarlet Johansson. 😛

      Hmmm, now that you mention it, I can definitely see similarities! Especially around the mouth. 😛
