Oh my goodness, there are a ton of sequels/books-in-a-series I'm excited for, and the list would be even longer had I read more of the 2011 debuts on my TBR. I'll see if I can keep this post from being a mile long :P
Hallowed (Unearthly #2) by Cynthia Hand
Publish Date: January 2012
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
I super loved Unearthly and since I read sometime during the summer, I've been looking forward to book two. The first was such a change from other angel books and hoping Hallowed keeps that uniqueness up :]
Fever (The Chemical Garden #2) by Lauren DeStefano
Publish Date: February 2012
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing
Wither didn't leave us on too much of a cliffhanger, but that doesn't mean I wasn't left wanting more. The writing was just so beautiful and I'm really hoping to learn more about the dystopian world.
Pandemonium (Delirium #2) by Lauren Oliver
Publish Date: March 2012
Publisher: HarperTeen
Oh. My. Gosh. That cliffhanger, seriously?!? I was bawling my eyes, barely able to read the pages, and then suddenly BAM, it was over. Needless to say, I need some more Lena, Alex, and deliria in my life, like, right now.
Fear (Gone #5) by Michael Grant
Publish Date: April 2012
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
This series! I love this series so. Freaking. Much. I'm pretty sure I could never express my love for this series properly. Every book always leaves off on a cliffhanger, so I'm dying for the next one, of course. Like seriously, how can it get better than a dystopian with zero adults, superpowers, and evil forces? Please, I beg you, read this series.
Thumped (Bumped #2) by Megan McCafferty
Publish Date: April 2012
Publisher: Blazer + Bray
Bumped was a refreshing dystopian. It wasn't at all dark despite the serious nature of the world. I look forward to jumping back in that world!
Insurgent (Divergent #2) by Veronica Roth
Publish Date: May 2012
Publisher: HarperCollins
Another dystopian series that I'm in love with. Are we surprised? Divergent absolutely broke my heart and I'm hoping Insurgent will mend it. I really want to learn more about the other factions since the ones which Tris doesn't belong to don't really get talked about.
Body and Soul (The Ghost and the Goth #3) by Stacey Kade
Publish Date: May 2012
Publisher: Hyperion
I don't hear people talk about this series often, but I really enjoy it. I'm so in love with Will (the goth) and I can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans Alona (the ghost) and him get into (and out of) in this one. I'm not usually all about the romance, but I love reading about Will and Alona's relationship :]
Endlessly (Paranormalcy #3) by Kiersten White
Publish Date: July 2012
Publisher: HarperTeen
I adore this series! Evie and Lend...*sigh* For reals, though, I love how different this series is than other paranormals. Evie's not afraid to love pink and still kick-butt. She's not all "oh, help me, save me, woe is me" which is awesome. Plus, they're funny! When have you found a paranormal that was actually funny for more than 2 seconds?
Cover not final |
Publish Date: August 2012
Publisher: Delacorte Books for Young Readers
I'm sooooo excited for this one! I was quite content with how the Maze Runner series ended, but I'm hoping that this prequel will answer even more of the questions I was left with.
The Mark of Athena (Heroes of Olympus #3) by Rick Riordan
Publish Date: September 2012
Publisher: Hyperion
Eeeeeep!! Percy Jackson is the absolute bomb, I am not even kidding. This is the third book in the series and I'm really hoping we get Annabeth's point of view in this one.
Envy (Fury #2) by Elizabeth Miles
Publish Date: October 2012
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Books
I was super happy when I found out Fury was a part of a series. I really enjoyed that subtle creepy factor and the ending really left me wanting more.
LOVED this post! tons of these are on my list too. Especially Insurgent and Pandemonium!
ReplyDeleteBUT mostly, THE KILL ORDER! I didn't even know this was happening! and i LOVED the Maze Runner Trilogy but was always just so confused and still kind of confused when it was over! hopefully this will give us some answers!
