(Updated February 5th, 2013.)

It's a new year, and we're excited about all the new books that are slated to be released in 2013. In January, we asked to read about what books you're looking forward to buying in bookstore, downloading for your e-reader, checking out from the library, or borrowing from a friend. 

Red Room's own Jennifer Kathleen Gibbons got the ball rolling with her excellent review of the books she's anticipating. In "Hey Jennifer, What Books Are You Going to Read This Year?"she lists some of the most exciting books by Red Room authors being released in 2013. 

Jennifer was the only blogger to tag her entry most anticipated 2013 read blog, so she'll receive one of the books she cited in her entry:

A trio of friends who take up parkour (at night, out of medical necessity) and catch a glimpse of what appears to be murder in Jacquelyn Mitchard's What We Saw at Night. Navigating the shadowy world of specialized Xeroderma Pigmentosum (fatal allergy to sunlight) care, extreme sports, and forbidden love, the protagonist ultimately uncovers a secret that upends everything she believes about the people she trusts the most.

If you blogged on this blog challenge topic but didn't tag your entry exactly as Jennifer did, we probably didn't see it! Please write to me at huntingtonsharp@redroom.com and let me know that you participated, too.

Thanks as always for blogging, and happy reading in 2013!
