It’s so typical of me… To be googling book releases
April has bloomed and so has some amazing book releases this month! Even though it won’t top March‘s because Lady Midnight is one of my most excited book of the YEAR, but April is going to be a month of discovering new authors!
There Once Were Stars by: Melanie McFarlane
Release Date: April 26, 2016
Publisher: Month9Books
Pages: — (Paperback)
Drawn To Because: When I first read the title of the book, I felt this darkness draw over me. The stars on the cover makes me think that it is going to be maybe a dystopian novel, which you all know I love. I feel like this is going to be a perfect book to read because it will try to help me get over Lady Midnight. We all know how that broke me. Enough with Lady Midnight, but this synopsis makes this book sound amazing. Something is screaming inside me that this book will be similar to Divergent by: Veronica Roth.
About the Author: Whether it’s uncovering the corruption of the future, or traveling to other worlds to save the universe, Melanie McFarlane jumps in with both hands on her keyboard. Though she can be found obsessing over zombies and orcs from time to time, Melanie has focused her powers on her upcoming YA trilogy: There Once Was Stars and her YA urban fantasy series: Summoner Rising.
Emerge by: Tobie Easton
Release Date: April 19, 2016
Publisher: Month9Books
Pages: 300 (Paperback)
Drawn To Because: The cover is beautiful. That is what brought me to this book. I am not a big fan of these mermaid books because as a kid, I would watch this mermaid show called H2O way too much so now I can’t stand anything that involves mermaids. I have been wanting to widen my reading horizon and I feel that if I read this book, I think I will be able to get past my small hurdle I have of mermaid books. It does sound really good. The one thing that worries me about the synopsis is the character Clay has like two characters after him. Here comes another Love Triangle.
About the Author:
Surviving High School by: Lele Pons, Melissa de la Cruz
Release Date: April 5, 2016
Publisher: Gallery Books
Pages: 272 (Hardback)
Drawn To Because: I am obsessed with the cover of this book. The cover of this book is amazing. The title is what drew me into it though. I started my first year of high school back in August and it has been pretty good but I love to read books like these. I love reading books that involve kids either moving schools or just starting high school/college. I have always had that weird desire to read them, the earliest dating back to 3rd grade. I am so excited to get my hands on this book, even if it isn’t in April.

When We Collided by: Emery Lord
Release Date: April 5, 2016
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA
Pages: 352 (Hardback)
Drawn To Because: The cover was absolutely gorgeous. I want to read this book because of the cover. The synopsis is as beautiful as the cover I love the fact that it is a sappy love story because I have been looking for a book like that and it hasn’t been found.
About the Author: Emery Lord is a 20-something Midwestern girl who writes stories about high school and best friends and weird families and the crushes fluttery and so painfully awkward you could implode. She lives in Cincinnati in a 100 year-old pink row house with a scientist, a one-eyed beagle, and a dog names Winston Churchill.
Have you heard of any of these authors? I haven’t heard of any of them and I am really excited to dive into all of these! Let me know what books you are looking forward to this month!
Read and Bloom together,
❤ Ann
