I’m very happy with my book haul this week! I can’t wait to get stuck in. I also got some ebooks: The Light Between Oceans, The Uninvited, and Scott Pilgrim Volume 1: Precious Little Life.

Love, Aubrey by Suzanne LaFleur
Book Review: Love, Aubrey by Suzanne LaFleur @ Pretty Books
Rating: ★★★★
Love, Aubrey is a heartbreakingly realistic tale of an 11-year-old who suddenly loses her father and younger sister Savannah in a devastating car crash. Aubrey wakes up not long after the tragic accident and discovers that her mother is not at home, and it looks like she’s never coming back. Aubrey’s determined to survive on her own with TV, cheese and crackers, and her new pet fish Sammy, because if she faces the truth too quickly, she won’t be able to bear it. Continue to the (spoiler-free) review.

Young adult science fiction/dystopian/post-apocalyptic books that will be released this month:
For Darkness Shows The Stars by Diana Peterfreund
Inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion, a breathtaking romance about opening your mind to the future and your heart to the one person you know can break it.
Monument 14 by Emma Laybourne
Fourteen kids trapped together in a chain superstore build a refuge for themselves. Outside, a series of escalating disasters, beginning with a monster hailstorm and ending with a chemical weapons spill, seems to be tearing the world—as they know it—apart.
The Glimpse by Claire Merle
In a near future, society is segregated according to whether people are genetically disposed to mental illness. 17-year-old Ana has been living the privileged life of a Pure due to an error in her DNA test. When the authorities find out, she faces banishment from her safe Community, a fate only thwarted by the fact that she has already been promised to Pure-boy Jasper Taurell.
This Is Not a Test by Courtney Summers
It’s the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won’t stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous version of their former self.
Surrender by Elana Johnson
The sequel to Possession: Vi knows the Rule: Girls don’t walk with boys, and they never even think about kissing them. But no one makes Vi want to break the Rules more than Zenn…and since the Thinkers have chosen him as Vi’s future match, how much trouble can one kiss cause?
