Hey guys, this is Abi here,
And I'm back with another post! This time, it's my anticipated releases post for the next few months! I always enjoy accumalating new lists, finding new books to add to my TBR.
This month was no different! I might have slightly fewer books than normal but hopefully that means I can get to most of them!
Without further ado, enjoy!
April Releases
1. Sound Check, by Jennifer Fenn (1/4/22)
I don't know a whole lot about this book, but the main USP that this book had for me was that it's about a deaf boy that plays the drums through taking his shoes off, so he can feel the music through the soles of his feet. I genuinely don't think anyone has even heard about this because there isn't even a cover, nor a blurb on Goodreads. I really hope more people find out about this because it sounds like an absolutely incredible read.
2. The No-Show, by Beth O' Leary (12/4/22)
At this point, I don't really need to read Beth O' Leary's premises to know that I'm going to like her books.
So far as I know, this is basically the book version of The Other Woman (you know, the one with Camerian Diaz, Leslie Mann and Kate Upton) and honestly, as usual, I don't need to know more than that. I know that this will be funny, full of unexpected turns, with likeable characters and a lovable story. I'll likely get to this within the next couple of months, during the summer months, and I can't wait to have this in my hands.
3. Until the End (Skulduggery Pleasant #15), by Derek Landy
Until the End, such an approporiate title. I've stuck with this series for over a decade, until the end, which is this fiftienth book. As you can probably tell, I'm not ready for this novel, for this epic tale to end. I doubt I'll ever be ready (even if I decide to re-read the entire series beforehand, like I've been considering doing).
The cover is gorgeous, it'll be full of unforgettable characters (and maybe some gruesome deaths-though I hope none of my favourites), and awesome kick-ass fight scenes.
At this point I know I'm going to love it. And hate it at the same time.
I'm not ready.
May Releases
1. Book of Night, by Holly Black (3/5/22)
Holly Black was an author that was always on my radar but I was never interested enough to pick any of her books up. This seems totally unique and I'm genuinely intrigued as to what happens in this.
"In Charlie Hall's world, shadows can be altered, for entertainment and cosmetic preferences- but also to increase power and influence. You can alter someone's feelings- and memories- but manipulating shadows has a cost, with the potential to take hours or days from your life. Your shadow holds all the parts of you that you want to keep hidden- a second self, standing just to your left, walking behind you into lit rooms. And sometimes, it has a life of its own.
Charlie is a low-level con artist, working as a bartender while trying to distance herself from the powerful and dangerous underground world of shadow trading. She gets by doing odd jobs for her patrons and the naive new money in her town at the end of the Berkshires. But when a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie's present life is thrown into chaos, and her future seems at best, unclear- and at worst, non-existent. Determined to survive, Charlie throws herself into a maelstrom of secrets and murder, setting her against a case of doppelgangers, mercurial billionaires, shadow thieves, and her own sister- all desperate to control the magic of the shadows."
2. See You Yesterday, by Rachel Lynn Soloman (3/5/22)
After absolutely loving You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone, of course I was going to add this to my anticipated releases list. This seems like a short, entertaining read for the summer time and I'm looking forward to giving it a read.
So in a summary, See You Yesterday follows Barrett Bloom, who has to re-live the worst day of her life (first day of college) in a Groundhog Day type time loop. The worst thing is, her arch-nemesis is also stuck in that time loop.
June Releases
1. Meet Me in Mumbai, by Sabina Khan (7/6/22)
"A novel in two acts- told eighteen years apart- gives voice to both mother (Ayesha) and daughter (Mira) after an unplanned teen pregnancy led Ayesha to place Mira up for adoption."
Even after just that opening statement, I'm already hooked.
I'm always on the look out for books that contain themes, that I haven't read about before, and this one has a few: Adoption, being contacted from birth family after said adoption, indian culture.
It doesn't matter that there's just one review on Goodreads about this book, it sounds amazing, and I genuinely can't wait to read this.
2. The Gravity of Missing Things, by Marisa Urgo (7/6/22)
"Flight 133 disappeared over the ocean. No wreckage. No distress signal. Just gone.
Suddenly, everyone on the news and social media is talking about whether the pilot intentionally crashed it- everyone but me. Because I know her. The pilot was my mom, and there's no way she would hurt anyone.
No one knows that before she left, she wrote me a note. Trust me, it said.
Now it feels like someone split my world- and me- in two, and the only person who believes me in Landon.
I want to trust him, to let him see who I really am, but I can't. I have my secrets, the same way Mom has
hers. All I know is falling for him will only make things more complicated.
Just as I start to open up, the answer to what really happened to Flight 133 could rip my world apart all over again- for good this time."
There was no way I would be able to explain all of that so I figured the best thing to do was show the blurb to you. Somehow this premise hits differently than the rest of them, probably because it feels like something you would hear on the news, maybe not on a weekly basis, but something that I've heard about in the past?
But I've yet to read a book about a flight disappearing over the ocean, and I'm anxious to pick it up! I really hope I enjoy this because it sounds so interesting!
Okay! So those are my anticipated releases for April- June! I hope you enjoyed reading about them, and feel free to comment some of yours below!
Right, that's all I have for you tonight, I hope you have a wonderful evening and I'll see you all soon!
Byeeeee!
