I’m really looking forward to A Map for Wrecked Girls! I love anything with a tropical setting, and when you add in shipwrecked to it I’m sold. How to Disappear also looks great, and I’ve been hearing great things about it.

The Hawkweed Prophecy and Ferocious have me really curious. I thought Map for Wrecked Girls was pretty good- didn’t love it but it’s not bad either.

Cool list! The Art of Feeling is definitely a book I want to read! A Map For Wrecked Girls is also on my TBR. It’s really cool when a lot of books come out at once- May 2nd was also a huge one.

Agree- early September is always a huge month, and I think early May could indeed be the big release day before things start to slow down for summer. (Not sure why publishing slows down in summer, since it’s such a big reading time for many people!)
