Late 1800's. Main character is a necromancer. Love triangle. Actually, you should probably read the summary on Goodreads. Seriously, I am loving the sound of this book.
The Catastrophic History of You & Me by Jess Rothenberg - 1/17/12 (Dial/Penguin Group)
Main character is dead and has to go through the five stages of grief. Her heart? Broken due to ex-boyfriend. Also, I swear it looks lighter than it sounds if you read the whole summary.

Third book in the Shadow Falls series. Can't wait to see where things are going as I really enjoyed the first book.
Ghost Flower by Michele Jaffe - 4/12/12 (Razorbill/Penguin Group)

ReplyDeleteLouise @ Between the Covers
Oh, there were several on this list I hadn't heard of before but have now added to my tbr! Butterfly Clues sounds really awesome. Thanks so much for compiling this list and putting these books on my radar!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to all these dystopias, and especially the sequels to Across the Universe and The Iron Thorn. What's up with all the un-dead, afterlife, and angel-related books?
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, I can't even begin to think about winter/spring arcs yet! LOL.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am dying to read the Infernal Devices series. I love anything steampunk.
