Hah hah! And I thought the time of good new books was dead! In a few months, there's going to be a veritable downpour of great new books. (Downpour being, by my definition, more than 1 or 2). The books mentioned here are the ones that I personally am looking forward to with much anticipation, and if there are other books that you think should be listed here, please let me know.
I have attempted to organize this page somewhat. Heh heh. These are listed, left to right, in order of publication date.

I feel like doing a happy dance. Shannon Hale is one of my favorite authors, and I also love Jane Austen,

So is Snicket really going to reveal anything this time? I highly doubt it. But I'll probably buy it anyway.

Okay, I am not entirely sure what this one is about. Though the description on Amazon sounds vaguely Rapunzel-y. Way excited for
it, whatever it may be about!!!
