New Releases in June

I’ve been getting monthly emails from Goodreads.com about new book releases and I’ve been adding so many new books to my wishlist that I really have no idea how I’m ever going to read them all in this lifetime!

I thought I’d list them here, partly as a list to keep track of and partly as a way to prioritize my reading list, if it happens that other readers comment on them and either recommend them highly or tell me not to bother with them. =)

So here’s this month’s new releases that caught my interest:

The Art of Forgetting
by Camille Noe Pagan

It sounds interesting; Marissa’s always been second fiddle to her friend, Julia, but Julia gets into an accident which affects her memory and her personality. Now Marissa has to take charge and help Julia recover her memories, which means dragging up a possibly painful history.

State of Wonder
by Ann Patchett

Well, I don’t really know what this book is about, but I loved Bel Canto by the same author, and I’ve been looking forward to reading more of her books.

 

 

The Borrower
by Rebecca Makkai

A librarian helps a ten-year-old boy to get access to the books he wants to read when his overbearing mother disapproves. When he runs away from home and end up at the library, the librarian, Lucy, needs to make some difficult choices. How can I resist a story about libraries and books?!

A Need So Beautiful
by Suzanne Young

We all want to be remembered. Charlotte's destiny is to be Forgotten...

I must it was the cover art that caught my eye, but reading the synopsis, I thought it’s just right up my alley. A young adult paranormal book, one of my favorite type of books!

The Day Before
by Lisa Schroeder

I’ve recently been seeing this author’s name a lot on Twitter, and thought to myself that I should read her books. I ended up seeing this book on Goodreads.com as a new release, so what better book to start with?!

 

Imaginary Girls
by Nova Ren Suma

Chloe's older sister, Ruby, is the girl everyone looks to and longs for, who can't be captured or caged. When a night with Ruby's friends goes horribly wrong and Chloe discovers the dead body of her classmate London Hayes left floating in the reservoir, Chloe is sent away from town and away from Ruby.

 

I just realized that there are wayyyy too many new releases that I’m interested in. I might have to space them out in different posts by genre or something. For the moment, I hope these few books will pique your interest too. =)
