Upcoming Reads 10/16/11

Here are some titles that you can look forward to in my reviews. OR, you could totally hate me for even considering them (because I know I'm grimly anticipating Mayandree Michel's book):

TO READ

As for my excitement scale, I'd put Variant and The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer at the top with a good 8 stars of anticipation, The Faerie Ring somewhere in the middle with a shoulder shrug, and Betrayal with a shuddering "I don't want to, but I'm going to anyway." My friends read Betrayal, hated it, gave it scathing reviews, and left me to wonder what all the fuss is about. I have that issue where, if someone tells me they have a secret but can't tell me what it is, I must know immediately. Have you ever gotten that feeling before?

Anyway, please leave a comment! Thanks! - Shelby

Rating Guide

Five Stars: I loved this book. I have nothing to complain about here. Five stars are almost as rare as one star ratings in my book, so when I give them out, I highly recommend you check the book out. Five star books are included in my favorites.
Four Stars: This was a really good book. I still recommend it, although there was probably something about the story that didn't quite resonate with me. However, I still recommend that you read the book.
Three Stars: This book was alright/good. I thought there were issues with the story that could've been improved. I probably won't reread the book, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try it out.
Two Stars: I didn't like this book. It was pretty bad. Two star books are hard to get through. I don't recommend them. Since I rarely ever give out 1 star ratings, two stars is usually my lowest rating.
One Star: I HATED THIS BOOK. DO NOT READ. One star books usually entail some sort of literary disaster. Books rated this low should be burned or hidden away from society, only to be read by criminals. Seriously, don't read them.

Meme Schedule

Quote Something Sundays -- I flip to a random page in a book off my bookshelves and pull a random quote from that line. I will give you a summary of that book without giving away the title or author. If you can guess the identity of the book and the quote's speaker, then kudos. I reveal the answer the next week.
Fan Trailer Tuesdays -- Fans have this amazing gift of bringing their favorite books to the big screen. Now with all of these new YA books being released as movies (The Hunger Games, Mortal Instruments), I thought it'd be a great opportunity to shine some light on the wicked cool trailers made by book nuts.
*New* Heroine of the Month -- This will be a new monthly meme featuring a heroine that kicks ass and takes names. The HoM will be announced every last day of the month. It will start on January 31st. Check out the completed meme archive underneath the review list archive.
