Okay, so Happy Summer! And Happy Pride Month. The weather in Rochester is finally beautiful and I’m so excited to just relax and hopefully visit some friends, go to the beach, and do some things I’ve been waiting all winter for. But the first thing I can’t wait to do, of course, is read! So a few weeks ago (like two) I had an article out about upcoming Spring/Summer book releases that I was excited for. So please check that out. I just finished working for the magazine Study Breaks and it was so much fun so shoutout to Kris for the amazing opportunity. ANYWAYS. You can read that article, here. But those books are a mixture of genres. (So yay me for pushing my boundaries and if anyone is tired of me talking about romance, you’re welcome. *haha*). But THIS list is romance. So if you really are tired of me talking about romance...too bad. Let’s get into it!
One Last Stop-Casey McQuiston (june 1) Next up on the bucket list? Sunset Boulevard. So maybe I’m in the wrong state but did you know you could take the train there? I didn’t. (and sunsets are ~summer-y~) But this book revolves around the TRAIN! Ugh. The city girl in me is thriving already. August doesn’t believe in love and at 24 all she’s focused on doing is waiting on tables, navigating her interesting roommates and perhaps deterring her gaze towards the gorgeous girl on the train. Except Jane doesn’t look like she’s from this year. In fact, she’s stuck on this train in a time loop where she’s actually from the 70s. So of course it’s August’s job to help her get back home...and perhaps start to believe in love all the same. I still have “Red, White, and Royal Blue” on my TBR so I need to jump on this right away and you should too. Let me know how you like it! The Heart Principle-Helen Hoang (August 17) Summer ice cream flavors include: chocolate, vanilla, pineapple, raspberry and this book. (I’m so good with these puns, sign me up for dad of the year). But the third book in the Kiss Quotient series is the perfect story to add to this list of sweet & savory treats. Violin, youtube sensation Anna Sun finds a hard time with recapturing the moment that launched her career and after a surprising breakup, Anna decides the only way to get over her career burnout and boyfriend is through a series of one night stands. Enter Quan Diep {Hamilton’s voice}. Motorcyclist, tattoo ridden hottie is Anna’s three strikes you’re...in? He becomes something more than a one-night stand and when tragedy strikes Anna’s family, in order to fight for each other they have to first learn how to fight for themselves. I’m sooo excited for this book. In college, I’m apparently drawn to books with characters who overcome burnout struggles and a bad boy in theory is always going to be my favorite book boyfriend. Sign me up! The Road Trip-Beth O’leary (june 1) I’m not one for camping but you know road trips always require a good sleeping bag. Or a backseat. *winky face* And who’s better to share the back seat for a cramped period of time other than exes with a tragic breakup story? Addie and her sister are on their way to a friend’s wedding and after they crash into Addie’s ex, Dylan and his friend’s car they have no choice but to carpool–they are headed to the same wedding after all. So will the ride allow them to rekindle what they once lost or confront the past and allow them to move on for good? I’m not one to predict successful outcomes but it’s a romance! I can’t wait to see how they fall in love again. Better yet, spill the tea on their history and give me all the drama of four people on the road because that’s bound to have a good story. Lucky for you, we can all read it now. The Hellion’s Waltz-Olivia Waite (june 15) The perfect summer date will not be complete without a night under the stars. Ooh a Ferris wheel at night? What a vibe. To all the parents who tell their children not to read in the dark...you’re right but the ~romance~ of it all. Anyways, this book is the perfect book for a starry night. The third book in the Feminist Pursuits series, I’ve heard great things about this author and her first book “The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics”. But a piano teacher and a swindling silk-weaver? Sign me up. Sophie and her father want the chance to start over without anyone else disrupting their lives, since the last time someone conned her father out of his shop. And Maddie just wants the chance to fund her weavers’ union–and the best chance to do it is through the greedy man Sophie works for. It sounds like a good enemies to lovers and I can’t wait to see how Sophie and Maddie get together. Okay, so we already can tell that some of these dates are past. That’s why this title is “New Book Releases I’m Excited For” as in, just recently released, not yet released (left to creative interpretation), and not yet read by me. All the same feelings apply. So I hope you enjoy, happy reading, happy summer! I hope it’s nice weather wherever you guys are. I hope you can rest and relax even if you’re working or interning. And I’ll talk to you guys soon. Until Next Time! With love, Ariana
