Book Bag
I'll go ahead and preface the following purchases with this disclaimer: doing research for the January theme of YA Futuristic Fiction made me really excited, so I bought a bunch!
Goodman, Alison: Singing the Dogstar Blues (Amazon): I've just finished reading this puppy (pun intended), so expect a review soon. I'm not sure how I first heard about this book. It could've been tezmilleroz because the author is Australian, or it could've been tcastleb because of the musician aspect to the story. Whoever's responsible, once I saw the cover, I slapped it on a wishlist and forgot about it until AFTER the poll, which is sad, because I think I would've added this title to the poll instead of one of the others. Anyway, yay.
Malley, Gemma: The Declaration (Amazon): I know I can blame tezmilleroz for this one: it's gotten good reviews and it's the first of a series, so if I finish my "required" reading for December, I have a feeling I'll round off the month with this title. Definitely looking forward to it!
Pearson, Mary E.: The Adoration of Jenna Fox (Amazon): I've got the January challenge IN MY HANDS. Do you? Definitely looking forward to this book, and it's tempting to start reading it NOW instead of waiting until January, but I can do it. Also, how do you like the cover art? It's what was used for the hardcover release, and I think I like it better. Certainly, it doesn't make the book like like SF. Or YA for that matter.
Wasserman, Robin: Skinned (Amazon): another I can blame tezmilleroz for, and it's another start of a series. I didn't add this one to our January poll because I thought the story sounded too similar to The Adoration of Jenna Fox; however, I'm still looking forward to reading it. It, too, might end up helping me complete the march to 100. :)
That's it! YA Futuristic Fiction ROCKS!
