My Book List For 2012

I really have high hopes for this year's book release lineup! It seems like everything is ending this year... Endings are very fragile, precarious things that are very easy to screw up. (Examples of great series with totally screwed up endings: Bloodrose by Andrea Creamer or Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins) However, an amazing ending can be crafted. ( Examples of endings that made me squeal with delight: The Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa and the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan)

The endings to a series really makes or breaks a book, and is at least as important as the first novel in a series. So, here's hoping that this year, the endings will be epic. Tragedy or Happy ending, I'll love, as long as it's written with care.

Here are the titles being released this year, in order:

Hush, Hush: The Graphic Novel by Becca Fitzpatrick - February 14th, 2012

Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter - March 13^th, 2012

The Serpent’s Shadow by Rick Riordan -  May 1st, 2012

Bitterblue by Kristen Cashore - May 1st, 2012

Nevermore: The Finale of Maximum Ride by James Patterson - August 6^th, 2012

Hush, Hush Saga Book 4 by Becca Fitzpatrick - Fall 2012

The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan -  Fall, 2012

Matched Book 3 by Allie Condie - November 13^th, 2012

As of today, these dates are accurate, but (what usually happens) the dates may change. Feel free to tell me what books you guys are looking forward to this year, because I'm more than happy to hear about it!
