The Young Adult Historical Fiction Society discussion

What upcoming releases are you most anxious for?

In terms of Historical Fiction, I'm super excited for the final installment of the Earth Children series, The Land of Painted Caves, which comes out on Tuesday.

Then of course, Lover Unleashed comes out on the same day (I love BDB). On April 5th both Plague and City of Fallen Angels come out. But none of these are Historical Fiction.

We made a list of some of the YA HF coming out this year, Wendy, if you're interested. You might find something that sounds good to you ...

YA HF of 2011

I am probably most excited for:

OOOO. Cleopatra Confesses looks really good! I love Ancient Egyptian culture.

*grin* I'm looking forward to 2 of 4 books that Wendy happens to be waiting for. I guess I'm going to need to buy Plague as well for my son. He's been wanting that one.

Your whole list looks new to me Elle, other than the betrayal of Maggie Blair. Is that one up on Netgalley? It looks so familiar.

The only YA HF that I know I'm looking forward to (so far at least, apparently this will be changing the more time I spend in the group) is :



Oh, and I guess this sort of counts since it's Steampunk/Victorian era.

!

*waits for someone to complain about the cover*

Or did you guys decide the third one was okay? I know most everyone hated Behemouth.

hahaha yeah

Maggie Blair is a NetGalley. I have it on my Kindle right now but just haven't got to it yet. When does the 2nd Infernal Devices come out? I should add that to the 2011 list.

12/26/11

Her website says September 2011.

That's what I originally thought myself. In fact, I have it listed on another group as Sept. Not sure why GR is showing December atm.

Weird. Maybe GR pulled the info from a UK edition or something.

Last I saw her tweet was that she didn't have a def. date yet.

And the Goliath cover is just as ugly as the Behemoth cover!

She said that it is bouncing back and forth between late August and early September. I'm gonna be pessimistic and go with September. :P

I agree about the Goliath cover, but I like it more than I liked Behemoth's cover (even though they are both fugly). I am so excited for that one though, it's probably one of my most anticipated of the year!

For all you Bloody Jack fans. *drool*

I totally forgot about the new Bloody Jack book!

Me too. I had to add it to the 2011 list. I love how the title to those books are like a mile long.

*rolls around on the floor, happy* I totally forgot about the new BJ book! I still have to read 7 and 8, but after reading 6 I needed a break.

I agree with you, Elle. I love how the titles of those books are like a gazillion words long. And I like how Jacky's title just keeps growing.

She said BJ...first whore and now this.

Emi really is a pimp.

Haha! Who corrupted our sweet little Emi? Somehow this has to be Jenny's fault.

Ahhh...you guys make me giggle! You are awesome Emi! :)

Haha! Is it sad that for once in my life I didn't have my mind in the gutter when I read the word "BJ"? I swear, it took me a moment to realize what you all were talking about. BJ=Bloody Jack...In retrospect I should have said JF (Jacky Faber). I guess I really am corrupted. xD

Yes, blame Jenny.

WTF?! I'm an angel.

And I am the Queen of England. Angel. Pfft

Here are some I am looking forward to:


also this one which is historical fantasy, no cover yet: Fateful

and a couple middle grade ones:

Looking forward to , but I'm not sure it fits as historical fantasy. haha...

@Laraine: That book looks really good and I LOVE the cover!

It does doesn't it, I hope it gets released on time. I looked and it's not on amazon yet.

I know it is on barnes and noble and they show the release date for April 1st. I will probably run out and get it as soon as I can!

That book does look good! I just added it to my TBR list, lol.

I just won in the Goodreads giveaway! Its my first time winning; I'm thrilled!

Congrats Wendy! I haven't won any first-reads yet! lol Hope that's a good one! :)

It's been one of my favorite series since I was a young teen, lol. Once I finish the new BDB book I'll reread this whole series in preparation for reading it.

Congrats, Wendy! I hope you enjoy your book. :)

These are just the 2011 books I have listed in my top-wishlist.



A few overlaps, but reiterations never hurt.

P.S. I just discovered the "add book/author" feature!

I am most anxious for

I am on the edge of my seat EVERY DAY for, specifically, Out of Sight, Out of Time, and Nevermore: The Final Maximum Ride Adventure. And, a little bit lesser as this is a newer series for me,Insurgent. Wait, I can't forget about The Darkness Dwellers. This has taken a bit TOO long to come out.

I love Chima's series The Seven Realms so I am not very patiently waiting for the The Crimson Crown. I am also enjoying the the Lorien Chronicles by Pittacus Lore and so looking forward to The Rise of Nine. I am eagerly awaiting Meg Cabot's next installment Underworld. I also hate that we have to wait so long to get the next installment of Riordan's Hero's of Olympus series, The Mark of Athena. I can't wait to read Out of Sight, Out of Time and looking forward to the next Heist Society book whenever Ally Carter gets it out. Of course, can't wait for
Clockwork Princess. So many books, so long to wait.
