Twitter meme, Book Journey's "It's Monday! What Are You Reading?", Should Be Reading's "WWW Wednesdays", Tynga's Reviews "Stacking the Shelves" and the various other book haul memes, and probably a few others I can't remember right now.

I must admit, I'm not very far into it, but it is quite excellent so far!
As you may have noticed yesterday, I'm going to be participating in the Take Control of Your TBR Pile Read-a-thon. This book is on my goals list, as I've had it since 2010 and still haven't read it.
This is another older TBR Pile book I need to get to, so it's also a goal for the read-a-thon.
I LOVED IT! Oh, it was such an excellent Cinderella retelling. Just please read it if you haven't.

YA Highway revealed the cover to Melissa Landers' debut, Alienated. The book releases Feb 4, 2014 from Disney*Hyperion, and the cover is so fun! I'm definitely looking forward this. Melissa is also giving away a signed ARC, so check that out.
Two years ago, the aliens made contact. Now Cara Sweeney is going to be sharing a bathroom with one of them.
Handpicked to host the first-ever L’eihr exchange student, Cara thinks her future is set. Not only does she get a free ride to her dream college, she’ll have inside information about the mysterious L’eihrs that every journalist would kill for. Cara’s blog following is about to skyrocket.
Still, Cara isn’t sure what to think when she meets Aelyx. Humans and L’eihrs have nearly identical DNA, but cold, infuriatingly brilliant Aelyx couldn’t seem more alien. She’s certain about one thing, though: no human boy is this good-looking.
But when Cara's classmates get swept up by anti-L'eihr paranoia, Midtown High School suddenly isn't safe anymore. Threatening notes appear in Cara's locker, and a police officer has to escort her and Aelyx to class.
Cara finds support in the last person she expected. She realizes that Aelyx isn’t just her only friend; she's fallen hard for him. But Aelyx has been hiding the truth about the purpose of his exchange, and its potentially deadly consequences. Soon Cara will be in for the fight of her life—not just for herself and the boy loves, but for the future of her planet.

Susan Dennard revealed the cover to her upcoming Something Strange and Deadly novella, A Dawn Most Wicked. The novella releases e-book only on June 4, 2013 from HarperTeen Impulse. I am so excited for this novella, guys. I LOVED Something Strange and Deadly, and Daniel—SWOON!

EW's Shelf Life revealed the cover to David Levithan's new book, Two Boys Kissing. The book releases Aug 27, 2013 from Knopf BFYR.
New York Times bestselling author David Levithan tells the based-on-true-events story of Harry and Craig, two 17-year-olds who are about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new Guinness World Record—all of which is narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS. While the two increasingly dehydrated and sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become a focal point in the lives of other teen boys dealing with languishing long-term relationships, coming out, navigating gender identity, and falling deeper into the digital rabbit hole of gay hookup sites—all while the kissing former couple tries to figure out their own feelings for each other.
This follow-up to the bestselling Every Day showcases David's trademark sharp-witted, warm-hearted tales of teenage love, and serves as a perfect thematic bookend to David's YA debut and breakthrough, Boy Meets Boy, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2013.

EW's Shelf Life also revealed the cover to Kami Garcia solo debut, Unbreakable. It releases Oct 1, 2013 from Little, Brown BFYR. This book sounds kind of amazing, and I'll probably be too scared to sleep (I scare really easily).
I never believed in ghosts. Until one tried to kill me.
