Top Ten Tuesday: 2013 Debuts I'm Looking Forward To

Geez, it seems like this week it's all about Debut Authors for 2013! And what a perfect way of announcing my participation in the 2013 Debut Author Challenge than this weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

The challenge consists of reading 12 books in 2013 that are author debuts, and I'm so excited for quite a few. So the topic for this week's Top Ten Tuesday is perfect! I will also be participating in another 2013 challenge, so look out for that soon! Now on to the TOP 3 list! I really wish I had the top 10 books, but I just started looking into this challenge, and haven't really heard much about other debuts! Let me know if you've heard of anything else that might sound interesting!

3. The Archived (The Archived #1), by Victoria Schwab

I've been so excited about this book since I saw it on NetGalley! Looks like such an amazing novel! I love the idea about the dead being stored like books on shelves; I just love books about books!

2. Nobody But Us, by Kristin Halbrook

This looks like such an amazing story! Also, if you get a chance to visit the YA Highway post on other authors and people in the industry recreating this cover, you'll laugh so hard it's awesome! I've heard great things about this one!

1. Altered (Altered #1), by Jennifer Rush

Ahhhhh sounds amazing! I've seriously never heard of something like this before, it sounds like a really interesting idea that I was kind of hesitant about, but I've heard so many good things about this book it's hard not to want to read it.

Top Ten Tuesday!: Books for Fall 2012

Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday! I'm so excited to share with you guys the books I'm dying to read that will be released this fall! Hope you enjoy!

In no particular order:

Days of Blood and Starlight
by Laini Taylor
Series: Daughter of Smoke and Bone #2
Release date: November 6th, 2012

I'm so PUMPED for this one! Daughter of Smoke and Bone was great! And the ending just killed me. Really excited to know what happens to Karou and her love story!

The Lost Prince
by Julie Kagawa
Series: The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten #1
Release date: October 23rd, 2012

I got an ARC for this so I'm finishing the Iron Fey series, but until now I love it so much! This also comes out near my sister's birthday... if only she liked this series!

Alice in Zombieland
by Gena Showalter
Series: White Rabbit Chronicles #1
Release date: September 25th, 2012

I've been hearing about this book basically since the year started, and have heard great things from several bloggers! Sounds so amazing, and I'm excited to read a zombie book.

Stormdancer
by Jay Kristoff
Series: The Lotus War #1
Release date: September 1st, 2012

I know this is already out, but I still need to get it, and OH MY GOSH! Sounds incredible, I heard it's like Japanese Steampunk which just sounds EPIC.

Mystic City
by Theo Lawrence
Series: Mystic City #1
Release date: October 9th, 2012

I also got an ARC of this, and this cover is just so fantastic! Sounds really, really good and I'm ready to read into this author's work!

Reached
by Ally Condie
Series: Matched #3
Release date: November 13th, 2012

I'm not AS excited for this as for the others, but I do want to know how Cassia's story ends, and where it all ends up. I'm hoping it will be more like Matched and less like Crossed in terms of pace and plot.

Stealing Parker
by Miranda Kenneally
Release date: October 1st, 2012

Catching Jordan was completely awesome, and probably one of my favorite books read in 2012! This I know will be super amazing and oh... *fangirling!*

The Casual Vacancy
by J.K. Rowling
Release date: September 27th, 2012

I'm a little hesitant about the plot of this book, but it's sort of mysterious and I'd really like to know how J.K. Rowling approaches another genre. And... it's J.K. Rowling, duh!

Tiger's Quest, Tiger's Voyage, and Tiger's Destiny
by Colleen Houck
Series: The Tiger Saga #2, 3 and 4

I'm waiting for this, Tiger's Voyage and Tiger's Destiny to arrive! So I'm putting 3 books into two spaces!
So excited to finish this series, the first book was just fantastic!

Top Ten Tuesday (1)

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's Top 10 list is:

Top 10 Quotes from Books

10. “Remember, we're madly in love, so it's all right to kiss me anytime you feel like it.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

9. “There is no pretending," Jace said with absolute clarity. "I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then.”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

8. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
― Dr. Seuss, The Lorax

7. “When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

6. “Life, he realize, was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song

5. “I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

4. “I'm not going to wear a red dress," she said.
"It would look stunning, My Lady," she called.
She spoke to the bubbles gathered on the surface of the water. "If there's anyone I wish to stun at dinner, I'll hit him in the face.”
― Kristin Cashore, Graceling

3.  “My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

2. “Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are book which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

1. “I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
