Spring is in the Air with Special Reads and Yes... Popular Ones

1. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
In honor of Holocaust Day.

2. Avalon High by Meg Cabot
A good read after James Mallory's Merlin trilogy and Robert Newman's Merlin's Mistake.

3. Penelope by Marilyn Kaye
A modern-twisted fairy tale unleashed.

4. Undercover by Beth Kemphart
This should be way past better than Disney's Ice Princess.

5. Stardust by Neil Gaiman
A close sequel to most fairy tales, although it rather takes place during Andersen's Fairy Tales Victorian-esque style.

6. Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld
Just millions of times better than High School Musical.

7. Looking for Alaska by John Green
I already read Fault in Our Stars, but can't wait for more from the author.

8. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Politics... in space?! How? After Gattaca in my scifi experience on the blog? What?!

9. Girl in a Cage by Jane Yolen
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye. There shalt be historical fiction in me blog.

10. Princess Academy by Shannon Hale
I never really understand the story before, know the summary; but mind a read for end-of-school year aka graduation.

11. Rest of Merlin Trilogy from James Mallory
I got it now. I got it - it's been almost a year and still no sign of the end.

12. Maximum Ride Protectors Pentalogy by James Patterson
I know some of the people hated the last five in the Maximum Ride saga. You know what you've been waiting for like a year and a half to see Part One of the answer to be revealed from a question mentioned earlier almost last month.

13. More classics, Shakespeare coming up
More notes, more time-traveling through popular past times, and SparkNotes is getting to you live on the blog!

14. Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan
I've been waiting for almost two years to get through the series before the last book hits stores in October.

15. Rest of Narnia from C.S. Lewis
After three installments plus The Princess and the Goblin in which I barely didn't know it was the first installment of Princess Irene and Curdie, time to hit the rest from Prince Caspian to The Last Battle.

16. Rest of Uglies and Sisterhood from Scott Westerfeld and Anne Brashares
I got big plans ahead after Maximum Ride for the breaks in betweenage. First up, we did the first two books of Max and did the first installment of a double feature series. Second, we'll do the second one for each of this double feature after The Final Warning. Next comes the third one after Fang. Then after Angel, comes Extras and Forever in Blue. And finally after The Last Battle and all of the rest of the fairy tales, it will come of Sisterhood Everlasting, Enchanted, Nevermore, Star Wars and beyond.

17. Dragons in Our Midst
Pretty much questioning to deal with in order. Oh well, there you go. Now there you have it folks. My sweet sixteen list of reads for the spring and beyond, hopefully.
