Hey guys, this is Abi here,
And I'm here with my anticipated releases for the next three months! (I love how consistent I'm being this month :) )
I have no idea at this point how many there will be, so I best get to it!
I hope you enjoy reading my list.
April Releases
1. No Going Back, by Patrick Floss-Scott
Release date: 2/4/24
No Going Back is about Antonio- a young man that is on the verge of getting early release from the youth detention centre he's been residing in for the past year and a half- for a crime he didn't directly commit. Once out, he's determined to make it up to the people he hurt the most. The terms of his release are clear: Antonia can't have any contact with this father, and he can't miss his appointment with his parole officer on Monday morning- but Antonio is determined- not just to commit to his education and to his sobriety program, but to start a new life.
This sounds like an extremely interesting, emotional read about righting wrongs in your life after a blow in your life, and I am here for it. It's set over just a couple of days, so I'm expecting it to be fast paced, and a quick read.
2. The Harrowing, by Kristen Kiesling & Rye Hickman
Release date: 16/4/24
This sounds awesome. The Harrowing is a graphic novel about Rowan, a psychic teen that hunts potential killers.
Drugged, kidnapped and transported to a school called Rosewood, after intense dreams of murders make Rowan ask her dad for advice, Rowan starts to understand what Rosewood is: a training centre for teens with special abilities who are known as Harrows.
Harrows can view the actions of would-be murders before the commit crimes (like Minority Report, but more psychic and less technology) and Rowan begins to believe in their mission; after all, she lost her mother to a random act of voilence two years previously. Until a vision shows her maybe-friend-maybe-something-more Lucas, and Rowan starts to question things. Returning home, she sets out to discover what will lead to these events, and save Lucas at all costs.
This sounds creepy, but awesome. Also, LOOK AT THAT COVER. That would look absolutely gorgeous on my bookshelf.
3. Funny Story, by Emily Henry
Release date: 23/4/24
Yet another Emily Henry book. Never mind that I have two already on my shelf, still unread. As far as it stands, I will continue to put her books on these, because I know I'll get to them eventually.
Blurb: Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story: how they met (on a blustery day), how they fell in love (over an errant hat), and how he moved back to his hometown, so they could start their lives together, right up until the moment when he realised that he was actually in love with Daphne's best mate, Petra.
After this, Daphne is left, stranded, in a job as a librarian (which barely pays the bills) and the only person that could possibly understand her predicament is Petra's ex, Miles Nowak, who is the polar opposite of closed off Daphne (even her colleagues think she's either in witness protection or working for the FBI.
After a meeting to drown their sorrows, Miles and Daphne formulate a plan, to pretend they had a throwaway summer romance, constructed entirely from photographs.
It's fine, especially when there's exactly no chance of Daphne actually falling for Miles, right?
Altogether simple premise, but promises to be a fun and entertaining read.
May Releases
1. The Ballad of Darcy and Russell, by Morgan Matson
Release date: 7/5/24
24 hour book about a couple meeting by chance.
Darcy has always believed in love at first sight- she's been waiting her whole life for it, but now- her car broken down, on the way home from a festival, phone dead, out of cash, and leaving for college the next day, she thinks the day couldn't possibly get any worse.
But then she meets Russell, cute, funny, and kind Russell. As they walk and talk, the two connect, and Darcy is able to put aside her fears and doubts as she focuses on Russell.
Over the course of their fateful night, Darcy and Russell find they can talk and share things with the other they never thought possible. But is it really possible to fall in love in a day? Before they part, they know that their lives have been irreparably changed- and Darcy and Russell will have to decide if it's worth saying hello when they know they're destined to say goodbye.
It's a Morgan Matson book. Of course it's going on here. Seems like the perfect summer read.
June Releases
1. The Breakup Artists, by Adriana Mather
Release date: 4/6/24
August and Valentine run a business called Summer Love, Inc. They hire themselves out to concerned parents to break up their kids' relationships, by any means necessary. August believes that they're doing it so that the kids have to chance to be in a healthy relationship down the line. Valentine agrees to prove a point: that there is no such thing as true love. He blames his sister's manipulative boyfriend for her death, and thinks the whole falling in love thing is ridiculous, at any age.
But then August meets Ella, who suddenly turns every thought he's ever had about love on it's head- when he realises he's fallen for her. The problem is, she's their new case, which means that everything he's told her about him- is a lie- even his name.
This sounds like a book with some serious issues in it, but with a light-hearted tone. It certainly never sounds like anything I've read before. Looking forward to it.
2. Daydream (Maple Hills #3), by Hannah Grace
Release date: 4/6/24
I saw this on the release list, I added it. It's that simple.
All I needed to know was that the protagonist is Henry.
Didn't even read the rest of it.
It looks like it's a tutor scenario romance with the love interest, Halle, trying to write her own book, so I'm all in.
Just need to read the second book in the series first.
3. Crashing Into You, by Rocky Callen
Release date: 25/6/24
Leti has always dreamed of being the most famous female street racer: her brother taught her to drive faster than anyone, and nobody is ever able to catch her.
But while she's at home in the car, she feels out of place at her school, in the stifling halls of Philmore Academy. Her only release is the class she takes with quiet, distant Jacob, a boy on the autism spectrum. When she invites him out for a drive, disaster strikes during a rice- and Leti swears to give up driving.
But will she really give it up? Especially since it might be the only thing that saves Jacob?
The description reads that this book is perfect for fans of Atypical, and fast and furious. While I've never seen fast and furious, I have seen Herbie, and of course, Atypical is a favourite. Never read a book about car racing, so I reckon this'll be quiet interesting.
Okay! Those are all the books I'm anticipating in the next few months! Feel free to comment some of yours in the comments- I can't wait to see what they are!
I hope you have a wonderful day and I'll see you all soon!
Byeeee!
