So many books, so little time.
I have a humongous list of forthcoming YA books that I would like to read. I update it regularly, whenever I hear about a new book with an interesting plotline or a forthcoming release from a favorite author of mine.
Here are a few not-yet-released books that GuysLitWire readers will totally dig, books that I read in advance and want to bring to your attention.
This is What I Want to Tell You by Heather Duffy Stone (March 2009)
Twins - one boy, one girl - share narrative duties in this story of secrets, lies, and shifting loyalties. This is Stone's debut novel.
After the Moment by Garret Freymann-Weyr (May 2009)
After moving in with his father and step-family, a young man falls for a quiet, troubled girl. From the author of Stay With Me.
Legacy by Tom Sniegoski (October 2009)
A high school dropout learns that his estranged, dying father is a superhero - and expects his son to take up his mantle. Sniegoski always does a great job with reluctant heroes.
Which of these books sounds the most up your alley?

I heartily concur on "After the Moment" - still HATE that cover though. I hope some guys will check it out in spite of its girly appearance.
Somebody needs to tell me what on earth that pub was thinking.
This is What I Want to Tell You came into the bookstore today. Browse it, and it looks like something I'll love
I thouht Project Sweet Life by Brent Hartinger was a great guy YA book with a cover that will definitely help sell it.
Oooh! Legacy sounds good the way you've described it.
Something about your description of This is What I Want to Tell You reminds me of Sharon Creech's The Wanderer, only for an older audience.
Am I hugely off base (asks the guy too lazy to do his own investigating...)?
Colleen: I wish the front cover had him - or both of them, instead of one on the front and one on the back.
Doret: Let me know what you think of This is What...
A Paperback Writer: Legacy is cool. Sniegoski is cool. :)
Justin: You know, I haven't read The Wanderer - or ANC, or others that I should read! (I have read Love That Dog.)
