Want to Read Wednesday: How Do I Choose?


I have a major dilemma. I have too many good books to pick from and I don't know what to read next. Here are the books that fit into the YA Debut Author Challenge that I haven't had time to read yet.

Should I read the ones that have been on the pile the longest?



Wish by Alexandra Bullen

Freaksville by Kitty Keswick

The Secret Year by Jennifer Hubbard

Or should I read the ones I got last week?


Voices of Dragons by Carrie Vaughn

Princess for Hire by Lindsey Leavitt

The Body Finder by Kim Derting

Or should I read the ones that arrived already this week?


Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken

Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder

Mistwood by Leah Cypess (ARC that I won in a contest)

The last book I read was emotionally wrenching. Do I want my next book to be light? Maybe Princess for Hire will be the right choice. Do I want to read the first YA book by an author that I know? I have read and enjoyed the adult books by Carrie Vaughn and Maria V. Snyder. I just read a nice review of The Secret Year. Should I read that one next? I have heard nothing by good things about The Body Finder. Should it be my next book?

I think I may just have to close my eyes and grab or maybe toss a coin. Help me out! Which one would you choose first and why?

  2. There's nothing calling your name from all of those good books? If you're really stumped, you could always use a random number generator to pick. I vote for The Body Finder, as I've heard good things about it. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy whichever one you pick!

  3. The logic in me says read the one that's been waiting the longest! But I know how that goes. And I'm like you, I can't read two tough books in a row. Use the random number generator. You'll know if you got the one you wanted depending on how you react to what book is chosen :) good luck

  4. Oh my if I had your choice I would be going for MistWood. I want that one so badly. The Body Finder is really good too, and I am buying Voices of Dragons this weekend.
