New releases I'm looking forward to!

 The following are new books that either have recently been released, or are soon to be released, and that I am looking forward to reading.  

A Box in the Wood by Maureen Johnson (already released - June 15, 2021).  I love this series!  It's a great YA mystery series set in a boarding school.  It has great characters, and I love that because of the location of the school, it gives the isolation thriller vibe!  This is the fourth in the Truly Devious series.  

We Were Never Here by Andrea Bartz.  (Just released today - August 3, 2021).  This was just announced today as a Reese Witherspoon Book Club book.  This psychological thriller sounds great!  Two friends go backpacking in South America, and end up with a dead body in their hotel room.   Hmmm..  right up my ally.

Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConoghy.  (Just released today - August 3, 2021).   Two sister on a team to reintroduce gray wolves to the Highlands of Scotland.  It seems to be successful, until a farmer ends of dead.  Are the wolves to blame, or someone closer to the sisters??  

The Perfect Family by Robyn Harding.  (To be released on August 10, 2021).  This is a psychological thriller about a family.  Small pranks start happening, and they begin to escalate revealing secrets...

Survive the Night by Riley Sager.  (Already released - June 29, 2021).  I loved Home Before Dark!  This book looks to be different.  A guy gets a ride share with a stranger, things get creepy.  This sounds like some of the horror movies I watched as a kid.  I'm definitely looking forward to this one.  

Ace of Spades by Faridah Abike-lyimide.  (Already released - June 1, 2021). This is a YA book.   I have heard so many good things about this book.  Imagine a mix of Gossip Girl and Get Out!  I can't wait to read this one!!!

Tokyo Ever After by Emiko Jean (Already released - May 18, 2021).  I mean, come on!  Look at this cover!!  It's so beautiful, I was immediately drawn to this book.  This YA book is one of Reese Witherspoon's Book Club selections.  It's about a Japanese-American girl who finds out that her father is the crown-prince of Japan.  Definitely getting the Princess Diary vibes here.  Yes, please!

How We Fall Apart Katie Zhao. (To be released on August 17, 2021).  This YA book is being compared to a mix of Crazy Rich Asians and One of Us is Lying.  I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee.  (Just released today - August 3, 2021).  This YA book sounds so creepy and awesome.  It's about a boarding school with a history of witchcraft, and two students who start digging up the past.  Yes!

The Downstairs Girl by Stacey Lee.  (Okay, not too recently released - March 2, 2021).  This is another Reese Witherspoon selection.  In this YA book, the main character is the daughter of a lady's maid who anonymously writes an advice column, which she uses to address problems she sees in society.  This leads to backlash.  This books looks like it has some Titanic, and maybe some Bridgerton vibes.  Looks like a good read.

Ophie's Ghost by Justina Ireland.  (Already released - May 18, 2021).  Yea!  This one just popped into my Libby/Overdrive bookshelf (audiobook).  This is a middle grade book about a young girl, Ophie, who learns she can see ghosts.  Due to tragic events, she and her mother have to leave Georgia and move to Pittsburg.  Her mother gets a job in an old manor house...ghosts...you can see where this is going.  Yes, I can't wait!

Echo Mountain by Lauren Wolk.  (Already released - April 27, 2021).  This is another middle grade book.  I am so enchanted by the cover!  The main character, Ellie, and her family, move from town to a home in the "wilderness" to start a new life.  This book sounds so beautiful and heartwarming!

Okay, I could go on, but I will stop here.
