The Fab List:
Jan-Mar 2011 Noteworthy Picks
These are just a few January-March 2011 releases that I highly recommend to you. Some are by debut authors and some are the work of veterans. These 2011 releases have made my Fab List despite maybe not receiving a 5 star review. And I fully plan on seeing which of these books make the Top 11 of 2011 Fab List which I'll do at the end of the year.

| |Why Read It: Totally different. I couldn't put it down despite the fact I was really reluctant to read this book to begin with. It was totally different and really scary to think about. A great eye opening book.

Why Read It: Meghan, Ash, Puck... GLITCH! Need I say more? *Swoon* Julie Kagawa made sure The Iron Queen was a fully involved book of adventure, friends, love (requited and unrequited), mystery, and all-things-fey.

Why Read It: Wow, Lauren sure didn't hold back on the dark theme's, deep rooted raw emotions, and a romance or tri-mance that totally pulls each and every which way. This was my first dystopian, one of which sits beautiful on my shelf to show off the beautiful cover.

A Few Honorable Mentions:
Exposed by Kimberly Marcus : A great verse read! I had my doubt but Kimberly Marcus held nothing back!
Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins : Usually it is said #2 books fall flat in a series... There is no way this #2 will ever be said to have been the least favorite of the series. I had no clue how much better this series could get, but it did!

Wow! I can't even begin to think how I'm going to pick a Top 11 of 2011 with all of these books! I still have several books I am dying to read from the first quarter of the year. January and March were really bountiful months in the book community!
