02.19.2019 by Jen Ryland // 5 Comments

NEW YA BOOKS RELEASING FEBRUARY 19 – CHECK THEM ALL OUT BELOW!

Happy Book Birthday aims to include every traditionally published YA book and features some of my favorite covers of the week.

Please let me know about books that that I might have missed! Some titles may have different release dates outside the US.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL THE NEW YA BOOKS RELEASING FEBRUARY 19 2019!

Click on the title of a book to get to that book’s Goodreads page. If a book has an asterisk, I’ve reviewed it either here or on Goodreads and the link will go there!

The Afterward by E.K. Johnston

The Art of Losing by Lizzy Mason

This week’s featured title!

On one terrible night, 17-year-old Harley Langston’s life changes forever. At a party she discovers her younger sister, Audrey, hooking up with her boyfriend, Mike—and she abandons them both in a rage.

When Mike drunkenly attempts to drive Audrey home, he crashes and Audrey ends up in a coma. Now Harley is left with guilt, grief, pain and the undeniable truth that her ex-boyfriend (who is relatively unscathed) has a drinking problem.

So it’s a surprise that she finds herself reconnecting with Raf, a neighbor and childhood friend who’s recently out of rehab and still wrestling with his own demons.

At first Harley doesn’t want to get too close to him. But as Audrey awakens and slowly recovers, Raf starts to show Harley a path forward that she never would have believed possible—one guided by honesty, forgiveness, and redemption.

The Great Unknowable End by Kathryn Ormsbee

Honor Bound (Honors #2) by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre

*Immoral Code by Lillian Clark. Check out my Review of the Immoral Code!

Mist, Metal and Ash (Ink, Iron and Glass #2) by Gwendolyn Clare

The Past and Other Things That Should Stay Buried by Shaun David Hutchinson

Snowhook by Jo Storm

A Soldier and a Liar by Caitlin Lochner

Tarot by Marissa Kennerson

Which of these are you interested in? The Art of Losing is by our own YA publicity and marketing guru Lizzy Mason! I reviewed Immoral Code yesterday and I love the cover of The Past and Other Things. How about you?

“A Soldier and a Liar”. Show me a better book title. I’ll wait. Took 2 seconds to read it and I’m sold. Buying the book as we speak.

Eep I love the covers for Mist, Metal and Ash – it matches the first perfectly! Tarot seems interesting – I don’t think I’ve seen that one lately. I love the title for a Soldier and a Liar and will definitely have to check that one out just based on the title.

I want to get Immoral Code for my daughter, I think she’d love it. She likes books about friendship. Tarot looks interesting.
