Spring/Summer/Fall Books of 2012 (That I'm Looking Forward To)

Prepare yourselves for the list! A handy dandy list of all the books I'm looking forward to which includes their imprints, publishing companies, ISBNs, and the links to their Goodreads pages--unless for some reason they don't have Goodreads pages in which case they lead to a description of the book. All release dates are accurate as of 3/18--but if they change, I'm probably not going to notice quickly enough to change them here. If you can't find descriptions on their Goodreads pages, you might want to look on HarperCollins' catalog (if it's a book from HarperCollins) or on Edelweiss (if it's from one of the other publishers).

(Please also note that this is not a complete list of releases, only those that I found to be interesting and that it's not quite a complete list as I haven't seen what Little Brown BFYR, Egmont USA, and Simon & Schuster have in store for us this fall.)
