(This post was slightly inspired by The Story Siren’s “Books to Pine For” feature.)
Each month, a LOT of books are published. Sometimes it can be a lot to wade through to find the good ones, so I’ve compiled a list of a few young adult books coming out this month.
Obviously this is not every young adult book coming out this month, but these are some that I am personally excited for and I know most of you guys are too. Feel free to comment if you have any suggestions for this list! Please note that sometimes a publishing date will change and I won’t always catch it while compiling the list.
February 02: Harbinger by Sara Wilson Etienne (Putnam)
Goodreads | Amazon
I’m just going to go ahead and say this – even my boyfriend said this book sounded awesome.
February 07: Dead to You by Lisa McMann (Simon Pulse)
Goodreads | Amazon
I haven’t read any YA by Lisa McMann, but this book sounds intense and emotional and awesome.
February 07: The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth (Balzer + Bray)
Goodreads | Amazon
I have heard such unbelievably fantastic things about this book and the trailer is amazing and I seriously cannot wait to get my hands on it.
February 08: In Too Deep by Amanda Grace (Flux)

My emotions were all over the place while reading this book. I want more people to read it so we can discuss, ASAP!
February 07: Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood (Putnam)

I LOVED this book. If you like witches and historical fiction, you want this. Also, swoon-worthy boys.

This book is INTENSE. And heartwrenching and terrifying and all around amazing.

EEP.
February 16: The Disenchantments by Nina LaCour (Dutton Juvenile)

I haven’t read the first book, but I need to! I’ve heard good things.

So many good books! I need to restrain myself (and my wallet) or I’m going to be so broke -_-

I have In Too Deep and plan to read it soon, then we can discuss :)

I’ve read Dead to You and The Disenchantments already and both were really good. I’m sure you’ll enjoy both (if you haven’t already).

I’ve read The Disenchantments, but I am still super excited for it’s release so everyone else can read it! That book is SO AMAZING.

Yes! Scarlet and Faery Tales and Nightmares were both on my most anticipated reads for the year list, not to mention my excitement for others like Harbinger. It’s going to be a HUGE month for books. Good thing it’s a leap year. :P

Oh lordy so much wonderful here.
First of all, I think I’ve made myself clear on how I feel about Pure.
I’m reading Harbinger right this second. Like, now.
I read The Vanishing Game and it is creepy!
The Disenchantments was the first book I read this year and my first contemp since I vowed to try more of them. It was great!
When the Sea Rises Red was insanely INCREDIBLE.
And Fever WRECKED me so hard. So, so hard. Oh my gracious. I can’t…I can’t even…
And I want to read ALL of the other ones too. Not enough time in the day.

All the buzz around Harbinger has me really excited to read it.
I’m super excited for Pure. Then again, I’m excited for almost every dystopian release :P
The Vanishing game sounds so creepy and awesome.
Above World: underwater adventures FTW!
Fever! I seriously can’t wait to get my hands on this one!
Shooting Stars looks so cute!
Partials adds another tally to the dystopian list :]

I know this sounds silly, but wow, those are some gorgeous looking covers!

I agree with a lot of these choices! I’m probably most excited for FEVER and TRAFFICKED, but also cannot wait to read WHEN THE SEA IS RISING RED, PURE, BORN WICKED, IN TOO DEEP, and FAIRY TALES & NIGHTMARES. One title that I didn’t see up here which I am pumped for is GRAFFITI MOON by Cath Crowley. Thanks for sharing your choices with us, Tara!
