Since I was able to pick up a ton of 2009 releases at ALA, I feel silly posting a Want It Wednesday post on a book I already have. This past week I've been tracking down The Tenners on Facebook/Twitter/Blogs so I can start my wish list. So since I'm thinking ahead to 2010, here are my Tenner picks for this week:
The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
Release Date: 3/16/10
About the Book: A serial killer on the loose. A girl with a morbid ability. And the boy who would never let anything happen to her.

GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: I've been following Kimberly's blog for awhile and with every post I'm getting more and more excited about this book. Violet, the main character, can sense dead bodies, which just sounds like a great twist on a murder mystery. It has mystery, suspense, romance-everything I love! And the cover is beautiful.
A Most Improper Magick (The Unladylike Adventures of Kat Stephenson Book 1) by Stephanie Burgis (No cover yet)
Release Date: 4/20/10
About the Book: A fourteen-year-old girl with magical powers finds adventure and romance in Regency England.
GreenBeanTeenQueen: Again, another book with everything I love! I love magic and the regency era combined, and of course throw in some romance and I'll be sure to pick that book up! I already know what teens at my library I'll be giving this one to.
A Most Improper Magick sounds really good and it has the kind of title I love like Sorcery and Cecelia.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I didn't realize that Magick wasn't going to come out until next April. I don't think I can wait that long! I also thought of Sorcery & Cecelia when I learned about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for this one too!! Great pick!!
ReplyDeleteI adore anything regency-Will be looking out for that one!
ReplyDelete-amy
The Body Finder sounds sooo good! I can't wait for that one :o)
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm iffy about The Body Finder I think my students would enjoy it. I have had some ask for mystery books.
ReplyDeleteI've been having problems commenting on your site. I've found a way around it, but it's kind of a pain. Here's my post about the problems blogger's been having with embedded comment boxes: http://athomewithbooks.blogspot.com/2009/07/have-you-been-getting-fewer-comments.html.
