Top Fifteen Anticipated 2013 Debuts + Giveaway

I decided to try a Top Ten Tuesday, of sorts, to show off my most anticipated YA debuts of 2013. I was inspired by last week's Top Ten Tuesday theme (from The Broke and the Bookish), so I decided to make my own list, albeit a bit late. (I think I'm going to try to do a few of them - on time - in the coming months, see how I do). I know it's already late January and that I've already read one of the ones on my list, but I wanted to share anyway. And, to be honest, it's more than 10. It's a top 15. I couldn't stop!
Here goes:

1. Taken by Erin Bowman.
To be released in April
by HarperTeen








2. In the Shadow of Blackbirds by Cat Winters.
