Sunday Salon: Reading, Read, To Read #8

Happy Sunday! Have you seen these Nebula announcements?! I was excited to see the nominees for the Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction. I've read Ash, Eyes Like Stars, and When You Reach Me. And I've been wanting to read Ice and Leviathan. All of the titles look interesting though!
