Happy Book Birthday

Remember how I did a little post deeming my April book of the month? Remember how I said I was excited for it? Guess what. IT IS NOW OUT FOR THE TAKING!

Happy Birthday to The Calling!

Are you excited to read this book? 

April Book of the Month!

There are a ton of books coming out in April that I am excited to read! But there is one book in particular that I have been dying to read for ages. Without further ado, my April book of the month: 

Maya and her friends--all of whom have supernatural powers--have been kidnapped after fleeing from a forest fire they suspect was deliberately set, and after a terrifying helicopter crash they find themselves pursued by evildoers in the Vancouver Island wilderness. (Summary from Goodreads)

I love Kelley Armstrong's YA books. Her narrators are fun and strong and her plots are original. The Calling is the second book in the Darkness Rising series and releases April 10, 2012. 

The Selection by Kiera Cass (April 24, 2012)

Unraveling by Elizabeth Norris (April 24, 2012)

Black Heart by Holly Black (April 3, 2012)

Those are my picks of the month! 

Which books are you most looking forward to this month?

This week's topic:

Top Ten Sequels I'm Dying To Read

(Even though some of these books are actually the fourth or fifth in a series.)

• The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead. Has anyone noticed that I have a slight obsession with Richelle Mead? No? I do. For good reason, too. Anyways...The Golden Lily is the sequel to Bloodlines. *Swoons! If you haven't read Bloodlines, then I have no idea what you are waiting for! And if you have....THAT ENDING! I shall say no more so that I do not spoil it for my dear readers, but how could you NOT want to read the sequel after that?
• Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare. Need I even say more? Cassandra Clare is a literary genius. MY OPINION, PEOPLE. Don't hate! I love her and her work. A lot of people are wary of The Infernal Devices books, but I swear to you that if you like The Mortal Instruments, Will and Tessa and Jem will not disappoint!
• Insurgent by Veronica Roth. One word, four letters: Four. Nom nom nom. He is yummy, and reason enough to crave Insurgent. But, if he isn't convincing enough...HAVE YOU FUGGIN READ DIVERGENT?
• Linger by Maggie Stiefvater. I know I'm a little late to hop on this bandwagon, but better late than never, right?
• The Calling by Kelley Armstrong. I love Kelley's young adult work! I've yet to pick up one of her adult series, but I will do that. She always has fun narrators and unique plots.
• Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. This series is so beautiful and original. I love it!
• Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick. Patch! Ahhh! I can't help but go a little fan girl when I think of him. And with the ending from Crescendo, I am desperate for more!
• Wings of the Wicked by Courtney Allison Moulton. I feel like this series is off to a great start. I'm excited to learn more about the characters, delve deeper into the forbidden romance, and see more of Ellie's past!
• Spellbound by Rachel Hawkins. For reasons, I'd advise you go find my review for Demonglass.
• City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare. MORE CASSIE! I swear, one of my goals in life is to meet her and get a book signed by her. Jace Jace Jace. Holy Hell Balls, I need more Jace!

There are so many more I want to read, these were just the first ones I could think of! They are in no particular order, by the way. So, what sequels are you just DYING to read?
