We’re already halfway through the year (well, almost, but I’m not adding a new release between now and tomorrow) so it’s time to update everyone on The New Release Challenge, hosted by Unconventional Bookworms! I haven’t been linking my reviews over there (just another thing to do) but I’ll update you on my new release reads here!
- Finale – Stephanie Garber
- No Place Like Here – Christina June
- Happily and Madly – Alexis Bass
- The Tiger at Midnight – Swati Teerdhala
- Rebel – Beverly Jenkins
- Storm and Fury – Jennifer L. Armentrout
- The Thirteenth Guardian – K.M. Lewis
- Soul of the Sword – Julie Kagawa
- The Evil Queen – Gena Showalter
- The Priory of the Orange Tree – Samantha Shannon
- Spin the Dawn – Elizabeth Lim
- Wicked Fox – Kat Cho
- The Storm Crow – Kalyn Josephson
- On the Come Up – Angie Thomas
- Dragonslayer – Duncan M. Hamilton
So that’s 15 new releases, which is better than Quarter 1, where I read 13 new releases. I guess it’s easier later on in the year, because although most of these books I read on release day or as ARCs, there are a couple that I read a month or two after their release date. I still have to review a few of these, but they’re all scheduled.
It’s really difficult to pick favorites from this list. Finale, Wicked Fox, Spin the Dawn, On the Come Up, and Rebel were all outstanding! I’m going to have such a difficult time with my end of year favorites this year.
What was your favorite new release from this spring?
