I don't really look to see what's coming out but as I do follow/watch a lot of bookish people I inevitably find out about upcoming releases, and here are some i'm really excited for!
1. Children of the River Ghost by Alexandra Aceves
"A YA horror novel in which 16-year-old Katie, reeling from bullying after her last relationship, moves to New Mexico and falls for a mysterious, beautiful girl who may be the ghost La Llorona."
I have no idea who La Llorona is but an f/f horror ghost story?! Yes please!
2. Slayer by Kiersten White
BUFFY! Seriously, that's all I know because that's all I NEED to know to be excited! It's set in the Buffyverse, after Buffy the tv show ends I think with a new slayer. Buffy <3
3. The Last 8 by Laura Pohl
I heard it involves aliens and queer characters. I am here for this. Oh and Area 51. My queer and alien-loving self is very excited!
4. Coral by Sara Ella
A Little Mermaid retelling that explores mental health.
5. The Murmur of Bees by Sofía Segovia
Hopefully this counts. It's being translated into English and released in English in April.
"From the day that old Nana Reja found a baby abandoned under a bridge, the life of a small Mexican town forever changed. Disfigured and covered in a blanket of bees, little Simonopio is for some locals the stuff of superstition, a child kissed by the devil. But he is welcomed by landowners Francisco and Beatriz Morales, who adopt him and care for him as if he were their own. As he grows up, Simonopio becomes a cause for wonder to the Morales family, because when the uncannily gifted child closes his eyes, he can see what no one else can—visions of all that’s yet to come, both beautiful and dangerous. Followed by his protective swarm of bees and living to deliver his adoptive family from threats—both human and those of nature—Simonopio’s purpose in Linares will, in time, be divined.
Set against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution and the devastating influenza of 1918, The Murmur of Bees captures both the fate of a country in flux and the destiny of one family that has put their love, faith, and future in the unbelievable."

Slayer and Last 8 are on Edelweiss if you are interested. ^-^ I already got an ARC of The Last 8 but got declined for Slayer.
ReplyDeleteThanks but i'm no longer doing Arcs. I don't even have an Edelweiss, i've only ever used Netgalley but i'm not even using that anymore because I find it puts too much pressure on me and I either feel awful for not getting to the books or awful for never reading books I paid for.
