Anticipated June Releases

Well, it's happened again. Another month gone. This month marked the end of soccer for my son, my daughter's first dance show, and the end of kindergarten. Starting in June I will officially have a First Grader and a soon-to-be preschooler. This year is passing quickly. The silver lining in this? All of these new books come out very soon! I've put together a list of anticipated June releases, many of which I'm very excited about.

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo : Release Date June 5 - I am really excited to read this new fantasy novel that's getting tons of love on Goodreads, but mostly I just love the cover

A Midsummers Nightmare by Kody Keplinger : Release Date June 5 - I'm not really sure about this contemporary young adult novel about a girl who hates her life and deals with it by acting out. I also have yet to read anything by this author, though she's written several other books.

Timepiece by Myra McEntire : Release Date June 12 - This is the second book in the Hourglass series and the third was just picked up and will be released next year. I've already read Timepiece and wrote a review that I posted on my blog. I actually liked Timepiece more than Hourglass. Together they make a great time travel series and I definitely recommend reading these books.

Rapture by Lauren Kate : Release Date June 12 - This is the fourth and final book in The Fallen series. I haven't read these yet, but now that the series is complete, I'll have to put them on my list.

The Golden Lily by Rachelle Mead : Release Date June 12 - The is the second book in the Bloodlines series that is the spinoff from Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series.

For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund : Release Date June 12 - This post-apocalyptic dystopian romance is based on Jane Austen's Persuasion. I definitely want to read this one.

Flirting in Italian by Lauren Henderson : Release Date June 12 - Another young adult contemporary on the list, this time a romance. The summary makes it sound a bit like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, but I'm not sure yet if that's a fair comparison or not. Either way, I'm excited to read this one.

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick : Release Date June 14 - This is a contemporary young adult romance about a girl who wishes she could belong to a different family and then falls in love with their son. It sounds like a great YA romance and is getting pretty good reviews so far on Goodreads. I've already added it to my list.

One Moment by Kristina McBride : Release Date June 26 - The summary for this book makes it sound like a contemporary young adult mystery. I'm looking forward to reading this one, I received a copy from NetGalley, and will have a review up in a couple of weeks.

That's my list of June releases. I don't think I've ever had so many YA contemporaries on a list before, but I'm definitely looking forward to most of them. Which book are you most excited for next month? Are you looking forward to one that I left off the list? Let me know what your anticipated June releases are!
