Author Susanne Winnacker on the Top 10 Books She's Anticipating

I love to read. No surprise there, I guess. But as a teen I didn’t read as much as I do today. Maybe I thought it was uncool or maybe I didn’t take the time to discover just how many wonderful books are out there.

Nowadays, no matter where I am, I always pay a visit to the local book stores and most of the time end up buying something, though my to-read pile is already daunting.

Today I’d like to give you my most anticipated books. (They will join my to-read pile as soon as possible!)

1. Book 3 of the Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth – I read Insurgent a few days ago and I’m dying to read the next book!
2. Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger – I love her adult series (Parasol Protectorate) so I’m very excited about her first YA series!
3. Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs – I’m a huge fan of her Mercedes Thompson series and I can’t wait to read book 7!
4. Scarlet by Marissa Meyer – Cinder was one of my favorite reads this year!
5. Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor – Daughter of Smoke and Bone was a 2011 favorite. So excited to read book 2!
6. Skinny by Donna Cooner – A girl with obesity who undergoes gastric-bypass surgery and tries to figure out who she is and what she wants. It sounds amazing.
7. Butter by Erin Jade Lange – A boy called Butter is going to eat himself to death on the internet. That was all I needed to hear. I’m so so so excited about this book.
8. Body and Soul by Stacey Kade – I really enjoyed the first two books in The Ghost and the Goth series!
9. Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo – It sounds awesome and the cover is fantastic!
10. Ten by Gretchen McNeil – I love horror stories. As a teenager I devoured Dean Koontz and Stephen King, so I can’t wait to read Gretchen’s take on YA horror!

Of course the list could go on and on, but the books above are my top ten!
