Tantalizing Future YA Releases is a weekly feature where I showcase up and coming YA covers. In addition, 'The Blast from the Past' section focuses on previously released books that still deserve a voice after a few years of silence. If you are inspired by this meme, giving credit will be greatly appreciated.
All titles are linked to GoodReads, if summaries cannot be found I will use Amazon or the publisher's website. Also, please note that covers may not be final. If changes occur I will replace the covers with the new versions.

*Blast From The Past*
Girl by Blake Nelson
Reading Level: Young Adult
Release Date: October 23, 2007
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Pages: 256
Summary: Meet Andrea Marr, straight-A high school student, thrift-store addict, and princess of the downtown music scene. Andrea is about to experience her first love, first time, and first step outside the comfort zone of high school, with the help of indie rock band The Color Green. "After I saw Todd Sparrow something deep inside me began to change. It was not a big change and I didn't shave my head and I didn't really think any differently about my life or Hillside or anything like that. But one glimpse of Todd and you immediately realized how limited you were and all the things you could do if you could just break out of your normal existence and stop worrying about what everyone thought."

I'm most looking forward to Fauxmanc! I haven't heard much about the others, but I'll have to check them out (:
As always, thanks for posting all of these!
So many of these books look amazing! My TBR pile is seriously out of control, though. (Really. It's teetering on my desk as I speak.)
My mission: Get that TBR pile under control. Then, and only then!, can I indulge in some new YA.
Okay, I've added several more books to my wanna have list... not that I needed any help, lol! Kim Harrison is a must read for me, and Divided Realms sounds good too. Hidden, Nightspells, Trial is Fire, and Drink, Slay, Love... all looks great too! Thanks for sharing!
Dottie :)

Woohoo, exciting books. Also just noticed your new profile pic and you look SO pretty:)
OOh, there's some goodies on that list! I think I'm most looking forward to Drink, Slay, Love. It sounds great!
Awesome!! I added so many to my list. Thank you!
All of these sound great, Eleni. And the covers are so pretty! I will definitely be adding a few of these to my wishlist. Awesome post, Eleni. Thank you! =)
That summery reminds me of a movie called Girl that came out in 1998 where a straight a student explores the Seatlle rock-scene. Of course...it wasn't a very good movie, but anyway it reminds me of it. Will have to take a look at this book sometime. :)
man! there is so many that I want this week!
Girl definitely sounds awesome and Drink Slay Love looks great just from the cover...then there are all the sequels!
Must read raised by wolves soon!
