Every month we get new books in the teen room, and every month I discover more books that I want to read! Sadly, I never get through all of them. There are several coming out this month that I’m super excited for! These will all be coming to the teen room soon!
Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh
I loved Ahdieh’s duology The Wrath and the Dawn (a beautiful retelling of One Thousand and One Nights), and I’m totally jazzed that she has more books coming out! In this one, Mariko, the daughter of a prominent Japanese samurai disguises herself as a boy in order to track down those responsible for her attempted assassination. Release date: May 16, 2017
Lord of the Shadows by Cassandra Clare
The second book of the Dark Artifices series is finally coming out! I’ve been a fan of Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter world since City of Bones, and I’ve been eagerly awaiting this sequel to find out what happens to Lady Midnight’s Emma Carstairs and her swoonworthy parabatai Julian. Release date: May 23, 2017
The Pearl Thief by Elizabeth Wein
Elizabeth Wein’s historical fiction novel Code Name Verity follows a young wireless operator after she is captured by Nazis during World War II and reveals bits of code in exchange for reprieve from torture. The Pearl Thief is a prequel that tells the story of Verity before she learned to fly. Release date: May 2, 2017
A Million Junes by Emily Henry
Decribed as Romeo and Juliet meets One Hundred Years of Solitude, this new novel tells the story of June and Saul who fall in love while trying to uncover the truth about the strange magic and harrowing curse that has plagued their bloodlines for generations. Full of magic, ghosts, and memories that might not be yours – I’m super stoked for this one! Release date: May 16, 2017
A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
Sarah J. Maas is a master of fantasy. Her fierce assassin Celaena Sardothien in Throne of Glass made me into a loyal follower, and I’m dying to see where this new installment of the Court of Thorns and Roses will take Tamlin and Feyre! Release date: May 2, 2017
The Whole Thing Together by Ann Brashares
The bestselling author of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is back with a new novel about love, class differences, and betrayal in an old declining beach house on Long Island. Release date: April 25, 2017

Once and for All by Sarah Dessen
Miss Emily and I are planning a “Summer of Sarah Dessen” in honor of her new book, and it’s going to be totes amazeballs!
