What's Coming Up In May

-

I wantend to catch all of you up on all the exciting posts that are coming out in May. I'm putting out five different Into YA interviews as well as a guest post, which I think is the most I've ever published in a month. I'm getting to chat with some of my favorite authors about some amazing books that I hope you're all looking forward to as well. Along with these special posts, I'll have some featured ARC reviews, my Saturday Discussion, which I hope you're enjoying, and my usual Sunday review. Let me know in the comments if you're looking forward to any of these or have suggestions!

All Our Broken Pieces
I'm so excited to get to share more about this amazing book! It is a wonderful, compelling, and well written love story with fashion design and music. It also features some of the best OCD representation I've ever read! I'll be posting my review May 1st and posting my interview with L.D. Crichton on May 3rd. 

How It Feels To Float
How it feels to float is unique, especially in the YA space. It's set in Australia which I loved! While the voice isn't very YA, it's still an interesting story. I'll be posting my review on May 8th.

Interview with Don Zolidis
If you've been following my blog in the last month, you know that I love The Adventures of Amy and Craig. I'm lucky enough to get to chat with the author, who's also a world renowned playwright. If you're not familiar with the book, check out my review here and my Teen Book Con post where I met Don. That will go up on May 10th.

Girl Gone Viral
I'm super excited that I'll also get to interview Arvin Ahmadi this month as well! He's the author of Down and Across (one of my all time favorite books which you can hear me gush about here) and his next book Girl Gone Viral. I'll be talking about the book on May 13th, and I'll be chatting with Arvin on May 15th!

Tinfoil Crowns
Flux books sent me a copy to read and review, and I'm super excited to dive into this one! It's about a girl who's a popular You Tuber (and I tend to love stories involving You Tube, fandom type things, or internet creativity). She has to deal with a lot of complex family issues. I'll be posting my review on May 17th. 

Within and Without
This story takes on emotional manipulation and first love gone wrong. While it's an intense story, this summer on the vineyard novel makes for a highly compelling read. I'll be speaking with Deborah on May 24t and posting my review on May 22nd.

Dissenter on the Bench
If you are anything like me, you think Ruth Bader Ginsburg is one of the coolest human beings alive. I'm super excited to dive into this YA biography. I don't often choose to read nonfiction, but I stumbled on this title on Edelweiss and decided to give it a go! I'll be posting my review on May 29th. 

This Might Hurt a Bit
One prank changes these boy's lives. They've already been grieving, but now life will never be the same. I'll be reviewing this early summer read on May 31st.

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. Don't let anyone know about the hole, and, besides Caro and Caro's boyfriend Todd, she's succeeded. 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
