What I will be BUYING in 2010 (as of now)

So I've compiled a list of all the books I plan to BUY in 2010, so far. Though, please note:


1.) This is BUY as in MUST HAVE for my collection. I plan on reading MUCH, MUCH more, just there is only so many I can buy.
2.) I know I will buy much more when I have more money, i.e. after my birthday and after Christmas, but so far this is the list of MUST-BUYS I have compiled.
3.) I know I'm forgetting some, but again this is just a frame of reference.


Also, in case you were wondering I pre-order books for the next month in the middle/end of the month before it so nothing past May is actually bought yet.
And if you were curious I usually buy all my books from B&N. It's really cheap to pre-order online from there, though the only draw back is that they don't ship (with free shipping) until all books are released so I only pre-order books in that same month so I don't have to wait an excessively long time. I loooove Borders in the store, but pre-ordering Hardcovers is much cheaper online at B&N. Though they have great online deals like buy 4 books get 5th (at lowest price) free, which is actually going on now, and so is great for buying paperbacks. Also, I like Amazon too, theres no waiting until all are released, but I always have gift cards to B&N so I just buy from there instead. :)


But NOW on to the fun stuff...

In honor of the Read-a-Thon going on, Eleni of La Femme Readers is having an activity in which you tell the top 6 books that have blown you away in 2010.

I had a lot of good books to choose from so my decision was hard, but here is what I have narrowed it down to:

1. Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta

2. Birthmarked by Caragh M. O'Brien

3. Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

4. Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers

5. Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

6. All Unquiet Things by Anna Jarzab
