Fresh Batch, posted weekly, keeps you up to date on the hottest releases of the upcoming week.
Flavor of the week:

Premeditated
Josin L. McQuein
Publication date: October 8th 2013
by Delacorte Books for Young Readers
A week ago, Dinah’s cousin Claire cut her wrists.
Five days ago, Dinah found Claire’s diary and discovered why.
Three days ago, Dinah stopped crying and came up with a plan.
Two days ago, she ditched her piercings and bleached the black dye from her hair.
Yesterday, knee socks and uniform plaid became a predator’s camouflage.
Today, she’ll find the boy who broke Claire.
By tomorrow, he’ll wish he were dead.

Josin L. McQuein was born and raised in Texas, where she used writing as a way to escape when she needed a break from caring for ailing relatives. Now she and her three crazy dogs live in a town so small the buffalo outnumber the people, and things like subways and consistant internet access are fictional creations of the faraway fantasy-land known as civilisation. Arclight is her first novel.

House of Hades and Eye of Minds 😀
Particularly the House of Hades. 3 more days! 😀
~Sophia @ Bookwyrming Thoughts
Megan
I am so excited for Emerald Green! Premeditated sounds awesome as well!
Melanie (YA Midnight Reads)
I’m so proud of you! You put The House of Hades there (it should have totally been the feature one, FYI) 😛 *leaves, fangirling about THoH*
Audris @ YA Bookmark
If I purchase anything this week, it’ll definitely be Premeditated. It sounds AMAZING! I’m also looking forward to Just One Year even though I didn’t totally love Just One Day.
Shelly
I am so excited for House of Hades and the Eye of Minds. Mostly House of Hades, though. The wait for it has been so long! 🙂
Jackie
Oooh! I just finished Tattoo Thief! Can’t wait to review it <3 Eeeps… they all look so good!!
Happy reading
Jackie
Amy @ Book Loving Mom
Didn’t I say I wasn’t going to look at these posts until I was done with my blogging break? Ugh!! So far behind….
Mel@thedailyprophecy
I can’t wait for The Grimm conclusion 😀 Tandem & The brokenhearted look interesting.
Shane @ Itching for Books
Thanks for sharing! Must.Get.These.Soon!
Sam @ Realm of Fiction
I’m REALLY looking forward to The Midnight Dress. I’ve heard fantastic things about it so far. Just One Year is probably the only other one that I’m interested in, but that’s most likely a good thing. 😉 So much to read this month already!
Henrietta
Now that Emerald Green is coming out, I’ll find time to read the entire series – I think it’s more satisfying to read the whole series without waiting. 🙂
Jeann @ Happy Indulgence
I always add heaps of books on my TBR after this feature! Red, Convicted, Resist and The Eye of Minds sound awesome.
Chri @ Fathomless
Oooh – so many great books released this week 😀 I’ve ordered the entire Ruby Red series, as I’ve heard such good things about it. I’m also really excited for Premeditated, House of Hades, and The Midnight Dress. And The Kingdom of Little Words. And Just One Year. Ugh, there’s so many books, and such little time >.<
Kristilyn (Reading in Winter)
The Grimm Conclusion! I’ve had the second book in that trilogy for quite some time and haven’t gotten to it yet, but I did really loooove the first book! I’ll have to get reading the second book so I can get this one!
Great new releases this week!
Wimsey Films
Yikes! How can I choose! Thanks for the list!
Pili
Wow, so many cool books coming out this coming week! And quite a few that I hadn’t heard of before that I will be checking out for sure! Premeditated sounds great!
Savannah
Today is my birthday and hubby promised me a trip to the bookstore today. I plan on breaking his wallet with as much books as I can buy! Muuaahhhh! LOL
