2011: Top Five Books That I Sooooo Want.

Princess Bookie is starting her Contest Craze tomorrow but for fun, you can this mini-challenge (and be entered for an arc prize pack!) where you pick your top five wanted books for 2011! There are so many books coming out this year and narrowing it down was very difficult but here are my Top Five Picks:

1) Queen of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
Queen of Glass is a fairy-tale retelling where Cinderella is an infamous assassin. Cinderella doesn't sound so passive in this story, does she? There's no cover currently available but the summary has me SO excited.

2) Virtuosity by Jessica Martinez
No cover available for this one either but I am burning with curiousity for this book. A contemporary novel about drug addiction, love, musical prodegies and overbearing mothers..... and there are violins! I'll admit that what piqued my interest in this book was the main character's ability to play the violin (and the competition she's in). I'm a violinist myself so it'll be fun to read about one too!

3) Clarity by Kim Harrington

Ah, here's a book with a cover! Isn't it lovely? Clarity's premise is unique and I'm looking forward to seeing how Harrington doles it out. A murder mystery with two hot boys? Yes, please!

4) Across The Universe by Beth Revis

The cover for this one was absolutely stunning. I gaped at it when I saw it for the first time...it seems more like a movie poster than a book cover! But besides the cover being a visual FEAST for the eyes, it sounds like an epic dystopian story. I read the first chapter (which is available online) and I was so annoyed when I finished! I can't wait for this to come out!

5) A Need So Beautiful by Suzanne Young

I didn't realize that most of the books on this list don't have covers yet--that was completely by accident! Anyways, I have high hopes for Young's A Need So Beautiful because someone (whose taste in books I highly trust) has told me wonders about this book! And I'm ready for something different from this author (not that I didn't like The Naughty List-it was cute but I want to see her darker stuff :K)
