last week, this week is pretty manageable. I’ve been looking forward to The Passion of Dolssa for a few months already, and I can’t wait for my pre-order to arrive. Among the reprints, I definitely recommend I Love I Hate I Miss My Sister. As for the books I hadn’t heard of before, I might check out Klickitat, if my public library adds it to their catalogue.

This week the sheer amount of new book is incredibly overwhelming! At the same time, it’s amazing how much young adult publishing has grown over the past one, two decades. The only pity is that it’s impossible to read them all in one lifetime. Also, at the rate YA books are published, dedicated YA libraries should become a thing, no? Then the resources would exclusively be there to build up the YA collection, which would surely help less known authors.

Redesigned book covers of paperback and re-releases intrigue me every week. For books that were first published more than two years ago, the new designs make them look fresher. At the same time, they show the design trends of their times.

Lately I’ve noticed a lot of interesting Australian releases. Sadly, not all of them are easily available outside of Australia and New Zealand, if at all. Still, I mark bookmark them with the help of Goodreads in the hopes of one day acquiring these titles.

This week’s a comparatively slow week on the publishing front. After so many popular releases in the weeks prior, it’s kinda nice for the hype to be quieter. Nonetheless, some of this week’s titles did catch my eye. Also, I did pre-order The First Time She Drowned.
