Ok, so a trend seems to be emerging. There's a dry spell of legitimately great books for a good period of time...and then KAFOOSH! A bunch at once!

Books:
Deathwish by Rob Thurman is coming out March 3
Magic Strikes by Illona Andrews is March 31
Stormglass by Maria Snyder is March 2
Skip Beat 17 by Yoshiki Nakamara is March 3
Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce is April 17 - If you've never read Pierce. DO SO NOW.
Music:
Inland Territory by Vienna Teng is April 7
Wild Young Hearts by Noisettes March 30

So yes. I definitely recommend reading/ listening to whatever books came before this. DO IT.
