Title: Nameless
Series: Tales of Beauty & Madness 1
Author: Lili St. Crow
Language: English
Publisher: Razorbill
Format: Hardcover
Expected Publication: April 4, 2013
When Camille was six years old, she was discovered alone in the snow by Enrico Vultusino, godfather of the Seven—the powerful Families that rule magic-ridden New Haven. Papa Vultusino adopted the mute, scarred child, naming her after his dead wife and raising her in luxury on Haven Hill alongside his own son, Nico. Now Cami is turning sixteen. She’s no longer mute, though she keeps her faded scars hidden under her school uniform, and though she opens up only to her two best friends, Ruby and Ellie, and to Nico, who has become more than a brother to her. But even though Cami is a pampered Vultusino heiress, she knows that she is not really Family. Unlike them, she is a mortal with a past that lies buried in trauma. And it’s not until she meets the mysterious Tor, who reveals scars of his own, that Cami begins to uncover the secrets of her birth…to find out where she comes from and why her past is threatening her now.
Why I am lurking on this: Fairytail retilling - yep, I'm a fan just like many others. This has been going around alot, too. Can't wait to meet all this new... just new.

Title: Furious
Author: Jill Wolfson
Language: English
Publisher: Henry Holt & co.
Format: Hardcover
Expected Publication: April 16, 2013
Three high school girls become the avenging Furies of Greek legend.
We were only three angry girls, to begin with. Alix, the hot-tempered surfer chick; Stephanie, the tree-hugging activist; and me, Meg, the quiet foster kid, the one who never quite fit in. We hardly knew each other, but each of us nurtured a burning anger: at the jerks in our class, at our disappointing parents, at the whole flawed, unjust world. We were only three angry girls, simmering uselessly in our ocean-side California town, until one day a mysterious, beautiful classmate named Ambrosia taught us what else we could be: Powerful. Deadly. Furious.
Why I am lurking on this: Greek mythology? I'm in. Furies? HELL, YEAH! Never had those in a book before. I'm totally looking forward to this.
I really want to get my hands on both of these! 🙂 I can't wait for their releases. Thanks for stopping by My WW!

FURIOUS sounds absolutely awesome, I love Greek mythology books so I'll totally be reading that. I have Nameless on my wishlist, I love retellings and this one is a dark retelling which sounds awesome!
My WOW
I love the furies and greek myth. Furious will be awesome. And I think Nameless has a gorgeous cover, besides being a fairytale retelling. Both awesome qualities. Thanks so much for sharing, hon. And thanks for stopping by my post! 🙂
