Star Wars: Most Wanted

by Rae Carson

Confession---I love that they have some of our fave YA authors penning Star Wars backstories. The newest one is, of course, timed perfectly with the release of SOLO (which I haven't seen yet, but so nervous, guys---Han Solo was my childhood!!♥♥♥), and written by the amazing Rae Carson. WANT.

Listen To Your Heart

by Kasie West

Kasie West books always look like the best way to start out summer to me. :)  I hear such great things about her writing and this story looks especially cute. Will have to great some sweet tea and a blanket and head outside to try this one out!

The Strange Fascination of Noah Hypnotik

I cannot what to read this one! To me, it sounds like Cat Winter's  The Cure For Dreaming (one of my absolute faves) set in modern times and with David Bowie reference. YES.

Monday's Not Coming

by Tiffany D. Jackson

A girl's best friend goes missing and no one, not even her parent's or teachers seem to want to tell what they know. It's a mystery that's too bizarre not to make me curious! 

{Katherine Tegen Books}

Such great titles this week! Do you ever want to read a book based on the title alone?

Onyx & Ivory

The Way You Make Me Feel

by Maurene Goo
With Geekerella, I discovered a love of food truck contemps (haha, is that a thing?), so this one definitely caught my eye. Plus I heard nothing but great things about Goo's first book, it's on my must-read-soon list, too! ;D

Love & Luck

by Jenna Evans Welsh
You should see the look my daughter gives me when I tell her I haven't read this series. She adores them. She's a big travel buff, and Ireland tops her list of next places to go (she's got a thing for Irish boys LOL), so she was thrilled at this next book's setting!
