Coming Up This Month: September 2017

-
Hello, everyone! August turned out to be a pretty crazy month! I started school, saw an eclipse, and lived through one of the most catastrophic hurricanes in US history. I'm hoping that September might be a bit more calm, but what will not be slowing down is the blog and my effort to make it the very best it can be. After seven months of blogging, I'm getting a better feel for the best ways to deliver content to all of you and exploring more ideas for new content. 
Recently, I changed the format for my Weekly Review posts to still give you two reviews a week, but publish them on Wednesdays and Sundays. I think this is the superior format, but what do you think? Also, I hope your following me on social media because that's a great place to find out about what's coming and get some behind the scenes extras. On Monday's I give an overview of the week ahead on Instagram and Twitter, and I commonly give first looks on Twitter about my upcoming articles and books I love. 
Finally, along with providing the standard two reviews a week, I've started developing content for other book/writing/relevant articles to give everyone more interesting content. As you will see below, I already have two scheduled Spotlight New Release reviews which will be posted about a week prior to the book's release, and there are more in the works! I will also have the opportunity to go to a few book events with some phenomenal authors this month and the next which will share about, and I absolutely love writing editorials and opinion pieces to share with everyone so there will be more of those published in the coming weeks. 


Week 24 Part 2: My Review of The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson comes out this Sunday.

Week 25: Part 1: Gem and Dixie by Sara Zarr review. Part 2: American Girls by Alison Umminger. Author Event Wrap Up: Katherine McGee. 

Week 26: Part 1: Two Roads From Here by Teddy Stienkellner. Part 2: The Smell of Other People's Houses by Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock. 

Week 27: Part 1: The Definition of Indefinable Things by Whitney Taylor. Part 2: The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli. Spotlight New Release: A Short History of the Girl Next Door by Jared Reck. 

Week 28: Part 1: The Geography of Me and You by Jennifer E. Smith. Spotlight New Release:  We All Fall Down by Natalie D. Richards. 

This month (and the next's) showcase some of the best books I've ever read. These happen to be most of my summer favorites, actually, so if you're looking for new books to put in your back to school TBR, these will give some great options. 
I found all of these books at my local library which is one of the best resources for any book lover, not only for the free books, but with finding great new and old releases. I would have never found some of these wonderful books without the great featured section curated by the Young Adult Librarians. If your library doesn't have a great young adult department, requesting books you'd like to read is a great place to start.

You'd Be Home By Now by Kathleen Glasgow: YA Book Review

  You'd Be Home By Now  by Kathleen Glasgow  I'm very thankful to the publisher for providing me with this ARC to share my honest thoughts on this book with all of you. Overview: Emory has always been the good one. The nice one. The easy one. The invisible one. Her older sister, Maddie, is gorgeous and talented. Her older brother, Joey, is struggling with addiction issues, and her parents saddle Emory with the responsibility of being his forever babysitter. No one thinks about Emory- ever. Which leads her to pick up a habit of stealing and collecting small things and hooking up with the high school baseball star next door to feel seen and important. While Joey is stuck on the rollercoaster of his addiction, his family is right there behind him, and as Emory struggles to keep Joey stable, she's also left to contend with her own precariously okay life. Overall: 5+ Characters: 5 Emory is maybe the most universally relatable teen character in YA. She feels unheard and unseen by

Hole In The Middle  by Kendra Fortmeyer (September 4) Overview: Morgan is like everyone else starting senior year. She's easing into adulting and thinking about her future. She's living in an apartment with her best friend Caro and trying to figure out how to break it to her super driven, successful, fitness guru mom that she doesn't really want to go to college. Morgan also spends a fair amount of time at the doctor's office because she has a peach sized hole straight through her abdomen. There's been one rule her entire life.

One night, though, she cuts herself a crop top and goes out to a club called Mansion where she shows off her true self, in all her glory. Photos spread like a wildfire on the internet, and she's approached by a new doctor who thinks she might have a cure. Though it  comes with press crews, a boy who has a lump that won'

Happy Place  by Emily Henry Overview: Harriet found her friend group for life in college. They might as well be her family. They've grown together through graduation and law school and medical school and one member leaving to go to South America to learn organic farming because they always come back together to spend a week in Maine every year at one friend's family summer house. Now, as they confront true adulthood and the changes that come with it, they have one more summer together before the house is sold to set the course of the future of their bonds. Overall: 4 Do I think this is an incredible romance? Maybe not. But it is a great book.  Characters: 4 There's a lot of characters in this book. The core friend group is six people, plus we get a closer look at both Harriet and her ex-fiancé Wyn's families. They're all well developed and have good dimension despite there being so many characters involved.  Harriet is at a crisis point in her life. She's in the
