Excited for July 2012
SO MANY AWESOME BOOKS come out EVERY month. And this month? TOO MANY. I don’t know what I’m going to do because I basically want to buy them all. It’s going to be hard, guys! Which ones are you most excited for?
Please note that this is clearly not ALL of the books coming out in July. Also note that sometimes release dates change and I don’t catch them!
I’ve been highlighting each month’s releases since November of 2010. View past editions by clicking here.

I’m excited for oh so many of these. A WORLD AWAY sounds great. I also had the chance to grab A LAND OF STORIES and SMALL DAMAGES at ALA. Plus even though I have not read SUPERNATURALLY yet, I’m really looking forward to ENDLESSLY. I mean really–look at that cover. Thanks for sharing!

Dude, I love Childs’ Fins series. It’s absolutely adorable and and awesome :D
Tiger Lily! I do love Peter Pan stories even though I’m kind of not a fan of Pan himself. He’s kind of a jerk :P
I love, love, LOVED Lost Voices. Definitely not the fluff one usually thinks of when it comes to mermaids. I am basically dying right now because my library still doesn’t have it in the catalog!
I’ve been hearing so many awesome things about Insignia, but that cover is just so stinkin unattractive.
I’m not super in love with the cover of The Forsaken. I appreciate how different it is from other covers, but it weirds me out for some reason. I’m still super excited to read it anyway!
I do love a creepy story, so The Little Woods sounds good!
Ahhhh! The Land of Stories! Chris Colfer!
Endlessly!! I for seriously cannot wait to read that one!
