My husband reeked of awesomeness this Christmas. Don't believe me? Here's what he got me (granted, I gave him a wishlist with all of the books in it, but still!):
Willow by Julia Hoban
The Hourglass Door by Lisa Mangum
Need by Carrie Jones
Before I Die by Jenny Downham
Secrets, Lies, and My Sister Kate by Belinda Hollyer
David Inside Out by Lee Bantle
Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink
The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson
The Missing Girl by Norma Fox Mazer
The Devouring by Simon Holt
Cracked up to Be by Courtney Summers
Wake by Lisa McMann
Sweethearts by Sara Zarr
In Your Room by Jordanna Fraiberg
Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott
The Maze Runner by James Dashner (Okay, so I bought this one for him, but my reasons were at least half selfish, so I'm adding it to the list.)
And then, when my mother-in-law asked what she should get me, he told her about these:
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
The Dark Divine by Bree Despain
AND ... if that wasn't enough, I ordered a few from Amazon (I know, I know, I definitely already had enough, but I realllly wanted Beautiful Creatures, and it was half off at Amazon at the time. Half. Off! I couldn't resist. Of course, I couldn't just get that one, because I needed to qualify for free super saver shipping. You understand. Right?):
Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
The Midnight Twins by Jacquelyn Mitchard
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
And, pre-Christmas, I bought a few from Borders (their coupons always get me!):
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (got tired of waiting and waiting for the paperback and finally decided to bite the bullet)
The Everafter by Amy Huntley
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness (may be the coolest title ever, and the first page is hilarious)
Paper Towns by John Green
Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles
ANDDDD ... if all that wasn't good enough, I won a signed copy of:
Boy Toy by Barry Lyga
And that's about it! Well okay, not really. Not even close, actually. In truth, I have several more on my bookshelf upstairs that I haven't had the chance to read yet, but if I add those, I'll just look like some book buying crazy that needs an intervention.
I must warn you all: if you come to my house and try to take my books away and say that you're doing it because you love me, expect retaliation.
Happy New Years to all!

What a great list! Some I've read and adored, others are on my own list, and I'll admit there's a few I haven't heard of and need to search out on Amazon.
Good luck with all the reading. just don't let it get in the way of your own writing!
You are single handedly keeping publishing in business. God bless you.
Ummm WOW!!! I would be SOOOO geeked up right now if I were you! Get crackin' Girl!
Wow, can I raid your bookshelf? ;)
I just ordered the Maze Runner. Can't wait to read it!
Wow, what a lovely and thoughtful gift giver! Happy reading!
That is In Sane! I would flip in ecstasy if I saw all those books under the tree!!!!! So much fun!
good lord! and he picked them out?
WOW!!! Awesome. Would you believe I didn't get a single book for Christmas? Truth be told, I didn't ask for any because I have so many on my TBR pile at the moment (many that are on your list too!)
