I'm a very big fan of this author (though I'm wretched and haven't read her last book yet, though I do own it!). Therefore, I am excited that she has a new YA releasing. And the synopsis sounds like it's going to be good (and maybe heartbreaking). Couple that with this author's writing style and the fact that I love her books (I think Chasing Brooklyn is my favorite), and I would like this in my hands, soon! Hopefully that bridge won't seem too long as I wait for...

Top Ten Things I Am Thankful For

Review: These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

Title: These Broken Stars

Author: Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

Publisher: Disney Hyperion

Publishing Date: December 10, 2013

Pages/Format: 384, ARC

It's a night like any other on board the Icarus. Then, catastrophe strikes: the massive luxury spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace and plummets into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive. And they seem to be alone. 

Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they’re worth. But with only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help. 

Then, against all odds, Lilac and Tarver find a strange blessing in the tragedy that has thrown them into each other’s arms. Without the hope of a future together in their own world, they begin to wonder—would they be better off staying here forever?

Everything changes when they uncover the truth behind the chilling whispers that haunt their every step. Lilac and Tarver may find a way off this planet. But they won’t be the same people who landed on it.

A timeless love story, These Broken Stars sets into motion a sweeping science fiction series of companion novels. The Starbound Trilogy: Three worlds. Three love stories. One enemy.

Review: Pawn by Aimee Carter

Title: Pawn

Author: Aimee Carter

Publisher: Harlequin Teen

Publishing Date: November 26, 2013

Pages/Format: 296, eARC

YOU CAN BE A VII IF YOU GIVE EVERYTHING.

For Kitty Doe, it seems like an easy choice. She can either spend her life as a III in misery, looked down upon by the higher ranks and forced to leave the people she loves, or she can become a VII and join the most powerful family in the country.

If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked - surgically transformed into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who died under mysterious circumstances. As a member of the Hart family, she will be famous. She will be adored. And for the first time, she will matter.

There's only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed, and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must decide which path to choose and learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she's only beginning to understand.

Review: Damselfly by Jennie Bates Bozic

Title: Damselfly

Author: Jennie Bates Bozic

Publisher: Jennie Bates Bozic LLC

Publishing Date: November 11, 2013

Pages/Format: 205, eARC

In 2065, the Lilliput Project created Lina - the first six-inch-tall winged girl - as the solution to a worldwide energy and food crisis. Isolated in a compound amidst the forests of Denmark, Lina has grown up aware of only one purpose: learn how to survive in a world filled with hawks, bumblebees, and loneliness. However, on the eve of her sixteenth birthday, she discovers that she’s not the only teenager her size. Six 'Toms' were created shortly after Lina, and now her creators need to prove to the world that tiny people are the next logical step in human evolution. In other words, they need to prove that reproduction is possible.

Um. No thanks. Lina's already fallen in love with a boy she met online named Jack. Only he has no idea that thumbelina1847 could literally fit inside his heart.

When her creators threaten to hurt Jack unless she chooses a husband from among the ‘Toms’, Lina agrees to star in a reality TV series. Once the episodes begin to air, the secret of her size is out. Cut off from any contact with the outside world, Lina assumes Jack is no longer interested. After all, what guy would want to date a girl he can’t even kiss?

Slowly, very slowly, she befriends the six young men who see her as their only ticket to happiness. Perhaps she can make just one guy’s dream of love and companionship come true. But her creators have a few more twists in store for her that she never thought possible. 

She’s not the only one playing to the cameras.

I've never really been a mega-fan of Peter Pan. However, after reading Tiger Lily (and dubbing it my number one book of 2012), Peter Pan became a thing I wanted more of. So when I heard about today's pick, I was interested. And when I heard there was a love triangle between Wendy, Peter Pan, and Hook, I was all "OH MY GOSH WHAT IS AIR?!" So when there are ARCs of this, may they follow the second star to the right and go straight on to my house, because I NEED ONE.

Review: Daylighters by Rachel Caine

Title: Daylighters

Author: Rachel Caine

Publisher: NAL Hardcover

Publishing Date: November 5, 2013

Pages/Format: 368, Hardcover

While Morganville, Texas, is often a troubled town, Claire Danvers and her friends are looking forward to coming home. But the Morganville they return to isn’t the one they know; it’s become a different place—a deadly one…

Something drastic has happened in Morganville while Claire and her friends were away. The town looks cleaner and happier than they’ve ever seen it before, but when their incoming group is arrested and separated—vampires from humans—they realize that the changes definitely aren’t for the better.

It seems that an organization called the Daylight Foundation has offered the population of Morganville something they’ve never had: hope of a vampire-free future. And while it sounds like salvation—even for the vampires themselves—the truth is far more sinister and deadly.

Now, Claire, Shane and Eve need to find a way to break their friends out of Daylighter custody, before the vampires of Morganville meet their untimely end.

The following book is one of my most anticipated books of 2014. (I need this book SO BAD.) I read the first book earlier this year and was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. (A lot.) And then I found out there was going to be a sequel, and I was all, "Ohmygosh, yay!" But I have to wait like forever for it. I may break a lot of rules to get my hands on...

Review: The Distance Between Us by Kasie West

Title: The Distance Between Us

Author: Kasie West

Publisher: Harper Teen

Publishing Date: July 2, 2013

Pages/Format: 320, Paperback

Seventeen-year-old Caymen Meyers studies the rich like her own personal science experiment, and after years of observation she’s pretty sure they’re only good for one thing—spending money on useless stuff, like the porcelain dolls in her mother’s shop.

So when Xander Spence walks into the store to pick up a doll for his grandmother, it only takes one glance for Caymen to figure out he’s oozing rich. Despite his charming ways and that he’s one of the first people who actually gets her, she’s smart enough to know his interest won’t last. Because if there’s one thing she’s learned from her mother’s warnings, it’s that the rich have a short attention span. But Xander keeps coming around, despite her best efforts to scare him off. And much to her dismay, she's beginning to enjoy his company.

She knows her mom can’t find out—she wouldn’t approve. She’d much rather Caymen hang out with the local rocker who hasn’t been raised by money. But just when Xander’s attention and loyalty are about to convince Caymen that being rich isn’t a character flaw, she finds out that money is a much bigger part of their relationship than she’d ever realized. And that Xander’s not the only one she should’ve been worried about.
