Armchair BEA: 2011 Book Loves

I'm not directly hosting a giveaway for ABEA but I am one of their sponsors. If you're a participant in this year's ABEA, you'll have a chance to win a slew of awesome prizes, with my offerings thrown in the midst. I'm putting up some of last year's BEA titles so get those posts up!

So since I'm not hosting a giveaway, for today's post I'm going to talk about some of my favorite/anticipated books for this year that are being featured at BEA.

I can't have a post like this and not mention Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick -

I've already read it. It's freaking awesome and everyone should read it. It'll scare the crap out of you. The first in a trilogy, Ashes comes out in September from Egmont.

And then there's The Gray Wolf Throne by Cinda Williams Chima -

The third book in the Seven Realms series, it's currently sitting in my NetGalley queue waiting for review in August. It's such a fantastic fantasy series that has me aspiring to write. Its original release date was September but due to popularity it's been bumped up to August.

Some of the other books I'm looking forward to (and hoping to grab the day I'm there) -

The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa

Teeth by Ellen Datlow

The Vampire Stalker by Allison van Diepen

Blood and Other Cravings by Ellen Datlow

Evolve by Nancy Kilpatrick

A Touch Mortal by Leah Clifford

Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor

Angel Burn by LA Weatherly

Shut Out by Kody Keplinger

Enthralled by Melissa Marr

Perfect by Ellen Hopkins

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
