This week’s topic is all about those 2013
debut books we are dying to read!
City of a Thousand Dolls
by Miriam Forster
Been keeping an eye on this one since it’s dystopian, and science fiction all in one.
MILA 2.0
by Debra Driza
Have this one on my self, and I’m super excited to dive into this one!
The Nightmare Affair
by Mindee Arnett
I’m on the blog tour for this one, and the synopsis sounds incredible. I’m also loving that illustrated cover.
I’m such a big fan of mythology, that I’ll read anything in that genre, this one included. Oh and that GORGEOUS cover! Love!
Vengeance Bound
by Justina Ireland
Here’s another mythology retelling of the Furies! And that’s no ordinary looking girl right there. She looks kick-ass, and I’m hoping the heroine is as strong as she looks.
Been hearing wonderful things about this one, and I’m happy to say I have the ePub ARC of this one.
Let the Sky Fall
by Shannon Messenger
Everything about this paranormal story sounds so exciting, that I can’t wait until it releases.
Pivot Point
by Kasie West
This one has been getting a lot of hype, and I also hear the writing is superb. Can’t wait to dive into this ARC!
In the After
by Demitria Lunetta
Another post apoclyptic one that I’m dying to get my hands on. I’m not a fan of the harsh cover though..
The Madman’s Daughter
by Megan Shepherd
Retelling of H. G. Wells’s classic The Island of Dr. Moreau, I just knew I had to get this one on the list.
putting some of these on my library list!
In The After and Nightmare Affair look promising. On my watch list!
Great list! A lot of your choices are ones that I am looking forward to as well. I actually never heard of Vengeance Bound until now and it definitely seems interesting. I’m so excited for Altered and Let the Sky Fall!
WOW!! all was amaing pick!!
I am looking forward to reading Altered.
There’s a lot of your picks on my most anticipated release list
Amazing choices! I can’t wait to read The Madman’s Daughter, Ink and Mila!
Fantastic picks! I’m so excited for the books the new year will bring! And The Madman’s Daughter? Dying for that book.
I have a few on my list, but almost all of them in my TBR list
Great picks and an awesome year for YA!
I’m reading The Madman’s Daughter right now and it’s so creepy and atmospheric. I’ve already heard awesome things about Pivot Point, and In the After is one I’m really looking forward to.
Great list
Thanks to 2013 Debut Author Challenge, I also have a whole pile of YA debut’s I am looking forward to in 2013.
I tried to pick favorite from your list but it’s not possible – I can’t wait to read them!
And here’s my list of Top Ten 2013 Adult Speculative Fiction Debuts I’m Looking Forward To.
Ink and City of a Thousand Dolls sound amazing, just added the, to my tmr pile
and I’ve already heard of Let the Sky Fall and Altered so definitely can’t wait to read them
There sure are a lot of terrific sounding debuts coming out this year.
Awesome list Giselle! For some reason when I sat down to put together a list I couldn’t get 10 so I gave up and didn’t do it! Oh well. The Madman’s Daughter is one that I REALLY can’t wait for though! Taken is one too, but I don’t see that on your list. Have you read that yet? Vengeance Bound is one I haven’t seen before that sounds very interesting. Furies seem to be the new “in” thing for some reason. Odd. (Also, the author has an awesome name!) Have a good one girlie! Happy reading!
Totally looking forward to City of a Thousand Dolls! Sounds like a great blend of genres and the cover is very striking. Also, Pivot Point has a premise that I think has a lot of potential, so I’m interested to see what the author does with it.
Great list! I just recently heard of Altered(I know lol) and I really cant wait to read it. A lot of the others are on my list too!
Some of these are on my TBR list too. Altered and Pivot Point specifically.
I went with a different topic this week. But I hope you check out my TTT.
Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Know
I love your list! I’m dying to read City of a Thousand Dolls, The Nightmare Affair, Vengeance Bound, Altered, Let the Sky Fall, Pivot Point, and In The After too!
I have already read MILA and loved it. I can’t wait to see what you think of it.
Great picks! Several of these were on my list as well. The Madman’s Daughter is soooo good. I’m reading Pivot Point now and it’s pretty good as well.
