Day 2 of Armchair BEA: "Best of 2012"

Good morning book-addicts :) 
It's day TWO of Armchair BEA!!! 

I signed up a bit late for it, and unfortunately, did not have time to set up a giveaway, so sorry :( 
SO, I've decided to join in on the "Best of 2012" chat! 

So far, my favorite reads for 2012 are

- Enchanted by Alethea Kontis

by Jess Rothenberg 

- Belles by Jen Calonita 

- Shadow and Bones by Leigh Bardugo 

- Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout 

- The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty 





And the newbies that I am looking forward to... 

- The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater 

- Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson 

- The Spindlers by Lauren Oliver 

- Cursed  by Jennifer L. Armentrout 

- Rapture (Fallen #4) by Lauren Kate 

- Finale (Hush, Hush #4) by Becca Fitzpatrick 

... and SO many others! 


I am excited to say that I will be driving in tomorrow to spend the afternoon at BEA!!! 
It's not a lot of time, but I know that it will be worth the hour drive :)

Being a part of Armchair BEA had been SO much fun! 
I look forward to everyone's posts later on this week too! 

Thanks for stopping by today :)
and happy reading!!!

  10. Great list! Most of the ones you chose are either on my bookshelf (have read and loved), on my nightstand (waiting to be devoured), or on my TBR shelf (Why aren't there more hours in the day?). I really want to read Shadow and Bone.

    I hope you have a great BEA-filled week!

  12. Hard not to love ENCHANTED cover. I am thinking I might have to locate a copy of this one.

  13. Yay, thanks for the comment! I like that we both chose ENCHANTED and SHADOW AND BONES! I still have to read my copies of OBSIDIAN and THE CHAPERONE. Can't wait! Oh, I really want to read TIGER LILY, THE SPINDLERS, and CURSED as well! I was going to take the train in to NYC today or tomorrow, but a lot of stuff has been going on lately, so booo! Today would have been my favorite to go, I think!
