Road Trip Wednesday! (1): Best Books Read in March

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.

This Week's Topic: What was the best book you read in March?

I decided to pick three, because we all know Clockwork Princess is the top one, and I'm also sure it's basically on everyone's list. So I'm going to post the cover of the books, linked to their Goodreads page, and put a GIF to describe my reactions to them:

Which books did you read in March, and which one did you like best? Let me know!

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!
