PLANT PEOPLE!
Before you tell me off for posting a spoiler without warning, check out the book’s front cover. If the publisher chooses to be upfront with spoilers, I may as well, too. Kudos to cover artist Matt Mahurin for his wonderfully creepy depiction.
The Gardener is at a slower pace than the author’s first novel, but just as creepy. Makes me wish I’d taken biology in high school. But maybe I’d have enjoyed this less had I been more educated in the ways of photosynthesis?
If you only read one novel about plant people this year, make it The Gardener. Hell, just read this anyway – I’ve never encountered anything like it before, but I love the eerie horror.
Done with February 2011 Releases. Here are March’s. To see future titles and dates, check out Reading Wishlist.

C. A. Moulton called out for a list of 2010 & 2011 YA fantasy fiction, but my list here contains other YA subgenres, too 😉 These are only the ones with known release dates – those without are on my Reading Wishlist. Release dates can and probably will change in the lead-up to the books’ publication. Some are re-releases, international editions, etc. Of course, I don’t list every single book – only the ones that I’ve heard of and am interested in.
