I am so excited for ...Oh my gosh, hello! *waves*<br />I am so excited for 'The Mimosa Tree'! I've become quite a fan of Fremantle Press, and when searching their 2013 Catalogue your book just jumped out at me. I *love* that cover, and then your blurb hit all the right spots for me. <br /><br />Indeed, I have been compiling this list for MONTHS - so I'm glad people are appreciating and getting ideas but I do appreciate that I've broken some to-be-read piles (including my own). Oh well, this is the price we pay for being book nerds ;) Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440460463119645788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005037379064329761.post-45511245890170224512012-12-03T19:46:27.617+11:002012-12-03T19:46:27.617+11:00OH MY GOSH!

And the little GoodReads icon 'Readers also enjoyed similar books' is fantastic.<br /><br />Others I know about because I'm fans of the authors and know about their upcoming projects as a matter of point. Some were pure luck, and others I received PR emails about from publishers, showing me their upcoming 2013 showcase. <br /><br />So, a mixed bag really. But it's mostly word-of-mouth.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440460463119645788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005037379064329761.post-18660126471148339122012-12-03T19:26:22.148+11:002012-12-03T19:26:22.148+11:00My book made a list?

I will say though it's probably more "New Adult" (now that we're actually allowed to say that New Adult is a thing) than YA. When I was writing it was just impossible to make the girls 16 and tell the story I wanted to tell. <br /><br />Advance reviews!

So many great books!<br /><br />I've been seeing everyone raving about Splintered so it's definitely one that I should check out. Prodigy: enjoyed it but not as much as Legend; hopefully that's the opposite for you. Nobody But Us has me intrigued since I kind of have a "liking" for Bonnie & Clyde (most likely from the musical and the fact that I had thought of writing an alternate history Bonnie & Clyde, which I may still do if I ever think more about it). <br /><br />LEVEL 2!
