I need a break in time to read them all...  

c.j.'s selections                         ten ten ten
one		Ruined - Amy Tintera  So there's a betrothal, and the wrong girl tricks her way into marrying the prince, all to save her war-ravaged kingdom.  The whole enemy-to-lover thing is done a lot, but I love the intrigue of this plot!
two		The Last Life of Avrilis - Bethany C. Morrow  This one's a crazy combo of repeated lives, subterranean cities, other planets, and a guy trying to end the world.  Perfect for my mission to read more sci-fi, and hugely compelling.
three		Into White - Randi Pink  A black girl at a mostly white high school prays for the power to change her race--and wakes up white.  I'm super excited to see how Pink handles such a daring angle on race and racism.
four		Beyond the Red - Ava Jae  An alien queen must save her people from her brother's tyrannical rule, but a captive from the very rebels she's trying to exterminate changes her mind, and heart.  Genocide is a big topic, and Jae tackles it on a huge sci-fi scope.
five		Wink Poppy Midnight - April Genevieve Tucholke  I'm still not totally sure what this is about and that's half the fun.  It's a magical realism mystery with dark overtones and a whimsical backdrop.  It's like a freaking Tim Burton movie.
six		Strange the Dreamer - Laini Taylor  I added this just based on Taylor, whose Daughter of Smoke and Bone is an all-time favorite, but GR tells me it's about the aftermath of war between gods and men, a dangerous girl, a clever librarian, nightmares, and carnage, and I love all those things and want them in my life.
seven		Thicker Than Water - Kelly Fiore Stultz  A girl ends up selling her brother's prescription painkillers to pay the bills--and ends up on trial for his murder.  Break out the tissues on this one.  Or so I hear.
eight		Nevernight - Jay Kristoff  Half the mind behind the brilliant Illuminae brings the story of a fledgling assassin living in a city built from the freaking bones of a dead god.  My black icy heart is twitching in evil glee right now.
nine		Heartless - Marissa Meyer  The queen of fairy tale retellings takes on Alice in Wonderland, aka the story that gives my body breath.  Poor Cath, heir to the Kingdom of Hearts.  All she wants is to bake tarts.  Until a romance starts.
ten		Shallow Graves - Kali Wallace  Even though the MC's name is Breezy, I'm drawn in by the Holly Black and Nova Ren Suma comparison--and the premise, a girl waking up a year after her death who finds herself in a gritty halfworld, hunted by a cult.  Give me all the darkness!
