Top Ten Tuesday is, as always, hosted over at my other blog The Broke and the Bookish. If you like lists of books and authors…you will enjoy TTT.
I am SO STOKED about every single one of these. I wasn’t sure whether I was going to post about my top ten books I’m excited to read in 2012 (so I could include anything; not just new releases) but I decided that I’m really super excited about some books that are coming out this year and so I must go that route!!
1. Diva (The Flappers)
2. The Gathering Storm 
3. Pandemonium (Delirium)
4. The Academie
5. The Last Echo: A Body Finder Novel
6. Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins — OH HI. Do you know me? I’m the girl who gushes about Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy Next Door. While it took me a while to give Anna a try because of the horrid cover, I relented and OH MAN. Stephanie Perkins is now one of my favorite young adult writers of contemporary! She writes contemporary young adult novels in a way that I love and her characters are unforgettable to me. I GET THEM.
7. Gone, Gone, Gone
8.Wanderlove
9.Second Chance Summer
10. The Treachery of Beautiful Things
Some honorable mentions coming out soon:
+ Incarnate by Jodi Meadows
+ Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
+ The Catastrophic History of You & Me by Jess Rothenberg
ALSO..I didn’t add it on this list because I already read it but FEVER by Lauren DeStefano. YOU MUST READ IT!
What books are you looking forward to? Does anyone have any 2012 adult fiction books because I realized all the books on my radar for 2012 are all Young adult! Normally I have a good amount of adult fiction books to be excited about!
Lesley says
I haven't read much YA fiction but some of these sound amazing! thanks for sharing!
Anna says
just finished Pandemonium yesterday — dying to discuss! read it soon!!!
Tara says
As you noticed on GR, I am reading The Gathering Storm and loving it so far! I love Russian settings too š AND THE ACADEMIE IS ON MY LIST TOO BECAUSE YAYYYY And Isla. And basically all the books you mentioned. So there.
Tanya Patrice says
A few of these I'm looking forward to as well, like Pandemonium.

I'm thinking Isla, Pandemonium and Second Chance Summer could be popular this week! I've been wanting to try the Flappers series for a while now, will have to try and get to it in 2012
-k says
Great list! I can't wait for The Academie but especially Isla!!
Kandee says
I'm looking forward to Pandemonium, just like a lot of us happy readers. Diva is another one! I haven't read Ingenue yet, but I'm going to soon, to be ready for Diva. Thanks for telling me I didn't even know another one was coming out so soon.
Carla says
There are literally so many books I want to read that it's making me quite giddy! I think Outlander has brought my reading vibes back with a vengeance, because now I want to read ALL OF THE BOOKS RIGHT NOW PLZ
Christina T says
I read an ARC of Pandemonium and thought it was fantastic. I forgot about the new Susanne Dunlap book but I think it sounds wonderful. We need more YA historical fiction š
Second Chance Summer also looks good. I loved Amy & Roger's Epic Detour. Great list!
Trish says
Diva looks good! I've been especially interested in early 20th Century themes lately.
Lori says
Great choices! Second Chance Summer made my list too! I can't wait. And Pandemonium…oh wow…it's amazing!
My Top Ten Tuesday
Jessie Marie says
Wow, great list! I have yet to read a YA HF and those you mentioned are definitely making my TBR list.
Another Russia-lover?! Me, too! It's been my dream vacation ever since I read the Bronze Horseman. *swoons*
Other than Insurgent and Pandemonium, I haven't heard of anything here but it all sounds great. Cheers to a great reading year!

Kelly says
I haven't read Anna (or Lola) but the excitement for Isla is catching! It's showing up on everyone's list!
I love how everyone is throwing in honourable mentions, or side notes – there are WAYYY too many great books coming out in 2012 to limit lists to just 10!

Loni says
I think you might be the only lover of Russian Literature I've seen.
Jacinda (The Reading Housewives) says
I also was totally looking forward to reading The Gathering Storm, but I got 30% of the way through it and put it down š I was so UPSET! It was one of my most anticipated books for 2012 as well š I'm still sad about it and this was over a month ago!
Wanderlove is all kinds of awesome! You'll love it! I also loved Gone, Gone, Gone!
lisa :) says
Great choices! I'm not familiar with a lot of these (besides Pandemonium) but they all sound like great reads! Happy new year!
LBC says
These are some great picks. I'm really fond of books set in boarding schools as well.
YA Yeah Yeah says
Agree on several of those! I somehow forgot Second Chance Summer from my list, despite absolutely loving Amy and Roger. The Gathering storm nearly made mine and have already read Pandemonium – really enjoyable, especially for Delirium fans.
Hadn't heard of a couple of yours and will definitely be taking a look at The Academie.
Mine is at YA Yeah Yeah if you'd like to take a look.
K says
I always love reading your book suggestions because you have just as much of a fascination with other parts of the world as I do, (and you've introduced me to several new ones that I haven't heard of!) Academie and The Treachery of Beautiful Things sound amazing!
And as someone who read Wanderlove in an earlier incarnation, I really enjoyed it, and am looking forward to hearing what you think. x
Feel free to stop by… Happy Tuesday!
Jen (Makeshift Bookmark) says
Aaaahhhh I so want The Treachery of Beautiful Things. Also, her dress. I wouldn't turn that down either.
confessionsofacommonreader says
Great list! A lot of those I'm waiting on as well, hope Pandemonium is awesome!
Molli @ Once Upon a Prologue says
I love your list! I'm really looking forward to both Pandemonium and The Treachery of Beautiful Things. š

Hanna says
I keep meaning to check out the first Flappers book, but I keep getting distracted by other things. I've never read a bad review though, so maybe it's time to get my act together! Plus, the covers are beautiful.
I have Delirium on TBR but I'm almost scared to read it! What if doesn't live up to the hype? To be fair, I felt the same about Divergent and ended up loving it, but I really WANT to like this one.
