We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach

Title: We All Looked Up
Author: Tommy Wallach
Length: 384 pages
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Classification: Young Adult, Contemporary
Release Date: March 24, 2015

Read: February/March 2015
Four high school seniors put their hopes, hearts, and humanity on the line as an asteroid hurtles toward Earth in this contemporary novel.
They always say that high school is the best time of your life.
Peter, the star basketball player at his school, is worried “they” might actually be right. Meanwhile Eliza can’t wait to escape Seattle—and her reputation—and perfect-on-paper Anita wonders if admission to Princeton is worth the price of abandoning her real dreams. Andy, for his part, doesn’t understand all the fuss about college and career—the future can wait.
Or can it? Because it turns out the future is hurtling through space with the potential to wipe out life on Earth. As these four seniors—along with the rest of the planet—wait to see what damage an asteroid will cause, they must abandon all thoughts of the future and decide how they’re going to spend what remains of the present.

Liars, Inc. by Paula Stokes

Title: Liars, Inc. 
Author: Paula Stokes
Length: 368 pages
Publisher: HarperTeen
Classification: Young Adult, Mystery, Contemporary, Thriller
Release Date: March 24, 2015
Source: ARC (won giveaway from author, Thanks Paula!)
Read: February 2015
For fans of Gone Girl, I Hunt Killers, and TV's How to Get Away with Murder.
Max Cantrell has never been a big fan of the truth, so when the opportunity arises to sell forged permission slips and cover stories to his classmates, it sounds like a good way to make a little money and liven up a boring senior year. With the help of his friends Preston and Parvati, Max starts Liars, Inc. Suddenly everybody needs something and the cash starts pouring in. Who knew lying could be so lucrative?
When Preston wants his own cover story to go visit a girl he met online, Max doesn’t think twice about hooking him up. Until Preston never comes home. Then the evidence starts to pile up—terrifying clues that lead the cops to Preston’s body. Terrifying clues that point to Max as the murderer.
Can Max find the real killer before he goes to prison for a crime he didn’t commit? In a story that Kirkus Reviews called "Captivating to the very end," Paula Stokes starts with one single white lie and weaves a twisted tale that will have readers guessing until the explosive final chapters.

I know I already posted a post with SEVERAL 2015 reading challenges that I have signed up for...and said I wasn't planning on signing up for any more. But I am REALLY excited for this one!
It is really flexible and easy. You can read as little or as many of the books as you want! And it overlaps with the other challenges! WIN!
If you haven't signed up yet, you definitely should!

So it looks like I have picked a total of 63 books from the Epic Reads list. I might read some of the other books that they have listed, but these 63 are ones that I REALLY want to get read this year. (There are a select few that I have listed here that I really want to reread this year too.) I wish I had the time and money to read all of the books on Epic Reads' list this year!

And the majority of these books are ones that I already have. So yay!
