YA Releases of May 2017

Guys why does it always seem to happen that the most amazing books release while you're on a book buying ban?


I've been on a book buying ban since Christmas and my birthday, as I received so many incredible sounding books for both that it seemed ridiculous to go by more for awhile.

As well, my hubby and I are doing a "living below our means" challenge that we've been working on since Christmas, in order to pay down a bunch of our debt. While it's definitely been challenging, we've made so much progress and I can't wait to accomplish our goal in a couple of months, and be able to get back to buying books.


And I can guarantee you that all the ones I'm going to mention today that are releasing this month will be the top ones on my list to pick up come that day!


A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J Maas:






While I have yet to read A Court of Mist and Fury, I loved A Court of Thorns and Roses, and I can't wait to continue on with this series. ACOMAF is already on our bookshelf, so I'm hoping it will be on my one of upcoming monthly TBR's, and then I can move onto this one as soon as I'm able to pick it up.


Flame In The Mist by Renee Ahdieh:


I have not actually read her Wrath and the Dawn series yet, but it's been on TBR list forever. And this new release of her's I've heard so many good things about already, that I just know I have to read it ASAP.


Windfall by Jennifer E Smith:


Jennifer E Smith is one of those authors in my opinion that couldn't write a bad book if she tried. I don't even know what this one's about, and yet it's still at the top of my books I need to pick up ASAP list.


Textrovert by Lindsay Summers:


I first read this quirky, adorable contemporary on Wattpad under it's original title The Cell Phone Swap, and I loved it! I can't wait to pick up the published version and see how it compares to Lindsay's original story.


Always and Forever Lara Jean by Jenny Han:


Lastly, I of course have to mention the conclusion to Jenny Han's Lara Jean trilogy. I was one of those people who was extremely excited when she announced that she'd be writing one more book in this series that she hadn't originally planned on. I've loved Jenny Han's novels ever since I first picked up The Summer I Turned Pretty back in 2011, and my opinions stayed the same ever since then. I'm beyond belief disappointed that I'm missing meeting her at RT Booklovers this year, but I'm holding out hope that I'll get to meet her one day soon, and tell her just how much I love love love her books. :)


Those are the May releases I'm most excited about guys! I'd love to hear which ones you're the most excited about, as there's so many amazing ones releasing this month.


Thanks so much for reading, and I'll see you all in my next post.

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all having a great week! Mine has actually been pretty good. We've had some really nice days, and my husband and I were finally able to put our garden in, and various flowers and the like. We've also had a couple of lovely, rainy days as well, and I love how green everything is looking in our yard right now.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest
