Wildwood Dancing is the first YA novel written by Juliet Marillier, author of the Sevenwaters fantasy books that came out about 5 years ago, set in old, old Ireland. Those were good, but a bit deep and sometimes depressing. This one is based on the tale of the 12 dancing princesses. Haven't read it yet, but it's out and at the library and there's already a sequel. I have hopes.
Ransom my Heart is Meg Cabot's new book, written under the guise of her main character from the Princess Diaries books. If it's anything like Nicola and the Viscount, (one of Cabot's two regency romances for YA readers) then it should be a fun read. It's out now, but I doubt the library has it.
Finally! Bloodhound comes out at the end of April, and is the sequel to Terrier, which many say is Tamora Pierce's finest work to date. We've been waiting for this one for a couple of years now. Yay!
Shannon Hale has another book coming out also! Looks to be an adult romantic tale, along the lines of her Austenland. I did not catch the release date, but her publisher was recently giving out advanced copies at an event so it shouldn't be long now. I'm looking forward to a fun Spring of good books. Winter has been a little bleak!

I'm really looking forward to Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce. I loved Terrier. The other books look like fun too.
