Aurora Rising is incredibly high on my wishlist! I so want to read it DD: And as I really enjoyed The Poet X last year when it released, I am also looking forward to reading more by Elizabeth Acevedo 🙂

Dark Shores and Finale are both on my list to read. I reviewed Last Things recently. It was good. A little creepy, but I figured it would be. I started This is Not a Love Scene, but figured out it’s not for me so I didn’t finish it. :/

I do sometimes choose covers to feature by color – I’m trying to feature the springy ones!

I’m excited for Aurora Rising, Somewhere We Only Know, Dark Shores, and Nocturna! I have them all on hold at the library so they’ll probably all be ready at the same time and I’ll have to choose which to read first.

Another one not on the list that I’m excited for is Romanov by Nadine Brandes! It’s a historical fantasy retelling of Anastasia. 🙂

I really want to read With the Fire on High! I loved The Poet X (the audio was amazing), and have only heard good things about this one. I also want to read How it Feels to Float. Thanks for the list!! <3
