Tripping Over November

Lots of great books coming out this month, friends! For me, though, there’s one in particular that I have been SALIVATING for since last year. But no worries: The other books sound amazing, too, and I’m stoked for all of them. November is shaping up to be a pretty legit month!

THIS BOOK. Friends, I have been dying for CHAMPION since I finished reading PRODIGY after last year’s BEA. Day and June are legit two of my favorite characters right now. I love their relationship and how it’s hard for them to be together and yet they manage somehow to survive together. I’m ESCARED about what might happen in CHAMPION, though. *is nervous* (November 5 from Putnam Juvenile)

I’m sorry, did you say “rebellion”? That’s all I need to hear. Rebellions are one of my personal buzz word topics. If I hear about a book that has a rebellion or a revolution or an insurrection, I am in, no questions asked. PAWN, though, sounds especially intriguing: It’s a dystopian world where people live by some sort of caste-like system, and one of the higher ups is in the process of sowing a rebellion when she dies. Our MC can undergo a standard procedure to “become” another person, and her option is this aforementioned deceased rebel leader. !!! I can’t wait. (November 26 from Harlequin Teen)

OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE Zuzana and Mik from this series. I loved them especially in DAYS OF BLOOD AND STARLIGHT, which was amazing in large part due to them and their loveliness as a couple. This novella–that’s right, I’m looking FORWARD to a novella–tells the story of their first gloriously romantic date, described by Zuzana as the best night of her life. I mean.

I recently listened to book 1 in this series, ANGELFALL, and it was really good. I’m hit or miss with angels sometimes, but I like this angel apocalypse, “angels are the bad guys” thing going on here. It puts a whole different spin on things. Plus I’m not entirely convinced that Penryn isn’t…something. I don’t know why, but I have A FEELING. Psh, I’m probably wrong. But that doesn’t mean I’m not looking forward to finding out!

I’m a fan of Katie McGarry’s contemporary series about a bunch of troubled youths finding love when they don’t think they deserve it. Sometimes there’s some melodrama, but the characters are just a little bit damaged and their relationships are steamy, so I’m a big fan. Isaiah has been in all three books so far, and so I’m jonesing for him to get his happy ending, too. (November 26 from Harlequin Teen)
