This month is a great month for new releases and there is some that I'm really excited for! I just want to note that this is only the releases that I'm excited for, I know that for example Glass Sword (Red Queen #2) by Victoria Aveyard is coming out this month, but I haven't read Red Queen therefore it wont be included as I'm not excited for it. I hope you guys understand what I mean, anyway this is just the releases that I'M excited for.
I recently saw this in Cat's (Little Book Owl) book haul video, so I decided to check it out on Goodreads. It's supposed to be a Thriller but for YA readers. Though this isn't the sort of thing I'd read at all, it did sound really intriguing to me and a lot of you might know this, but in 2016 I'm trying to vary the sorts of books I readand try out new genres that I wouldn't normally read. This ticks that box and that's why I'm including it in here. I'm hoping to pick this up and give it a go soon and hopefully I'll end up loving it.
Synopsis - Yellow is a YA murder mystery with a slight supernatural edge, but at heart it's about the redemptive power of kindness. Publishing in February 2016, it's a beautifully written coming-of-age story about family, first love, finding your place and uncovering the secrets of the past.
I'm not the biggest Sci-fi fan. In fact I've only read one sci-fi book before and that was The Martian by Andy Weir. However, I do want to change that and I've always wanted to try out Melissa Lander's Alienated series (I think it's a duology). I've only heard great things about her books. I then heard that she was starting a new series and was instantly drawn into all of the hype. I don't think I'm going to purchase this straight away as this year I'm trying to buy only a couple of books each month depending on the number of my TBR pile. However, when I do get round to it, I still think I'll try out Alienated first and if I like that then I'll try this series and maybe by then the second book will be out.
I still thought I'd mention it though as it does sound really intriguing.
Synopsis - Life in the outer realm is a lawless, dirty, hard existence, and Solara Brooks is hungry for it. Just out of the orphanage, she needs a fresh start in a place where nobody cares about the engine grease beneath her fingernails or the felony tattoos across her knuckles. She's so desperate to reach the realm that she's willing to indenture herself to Doran Spaulding, the rich and popular quarterback who made her life miserable all through high school, in exchange for passage aboard the spaceliner Zenith.
Yep, this book is out!! I've been sooo excited for this for months and guess what I still haven't even got a copy yet! That's right, I think I've gone insane. I don't actually know why I haven't bought it yet, but I know that I need to soon and that I will.
Synopsis - Return to the darkly beautiful world of The Sin Eater's Daughter with a sequel that will leave you awed, terrified . . . and desperate for more.
A lot of you will know Veronica Rossi from her Under The Never Sky trilogy, which I myself have never read but have always wanted to. When I heard that she was starting a new series, I instantly got excited as this finally gives me an excuse to read her books. The synopsis to the book (and the cover) were what drew me to the book, the synopsis sounded very interesting, but also something that would be different to the previous books I've read. Also, I really like the cover and you all know I can't resist a good cover.
Synopsis - For eighteen-year-old Gideon Blake, nothing but death can keep him from achieving his goal of becoming a U.S. Army Ranger. As it turns out, it does.
I'm not going to lie and say that I'd heard about this book because in actual fact I hadn't heard anything about it. I only came across it when I was looking through the releases for this month on Goodreads. The cover looked interesting so I clicked it because you all know that I can't resist a good cover.
Anyway, I was reading through the synopsis and it just sounded fun, but also like it would be a good read. In the end I decided I would include it in here as I haven't read anything about it and it might encourage some of you guys to pick it up at some point like I will be. Also, from the people who received an ARC of it, a lot of people have rated it a 5/5, which just makes me even more excited.
Synopsis - Seventh grader Jeremy Miner has a girl problem. Or, more accurately, a girls problem. Four hundred and seventy-five of them. That's how many girls attend his school, St. Edith's Academy.
Jeremy is the only boy left after the school's brief experiment in coeducation. And he needs to get out. His mom won't let him transfer, so Jeremy takes matters into his own hands: He's going to get expelled.
Together with his best friend, Claudia, Jeremy unleashes a series of hilarious pranks in hopes that he'll get kicked out with minimum damage to his permanent record. But when his stunts start to backfire, Jeremy has to decide whom he's willing to knock down on his way out the door.
Written with equal parts humor and heart, Lee Gjertsen Malone's debut is all about fitting in, standing out, and finding the place where you belong.
OMG,OMG,OMG! IT'S NEARLY HERE! Right, if you don't know I'm like the biggest Geek Girl fan ever, I'm obsessed with this series. By that I mean I'm completely obsessed, that obsessed that I've been counting down the days to publication for MONTHS.
Everyone else is fangirling over the fact that Glass Sword (Red Queen #2) by Victoria Aveyard and The Raven King (The Raven Cycle #5) by Maggie Stiefvater etc are coming out this year and I'm over here hyperventilating that Head Over Heels is coming out this month. I'm not okay. After this there's only one more book till this series ends and that will also be when my life ends. Yes, this series matters to me that much - I don't know how I'm supposed to carry on living with my life without Harriet Manners and her awkwardness helping me! Holly better write some novellas or something to go along with this series or I will not be able to cope. Ugghhh.
I'm just going to forget that in like a years time the Geek Girl series will be over and just continue focusing that Head Over Heels is out this month! YAYAYAYAYAY!
