YA releases are picking up again this week! These books are a great selection to choose from, particularly if Twilight and The Hunger Games are the only two YA books in your repertoire. It’s getting old and tired that every other week articles spring up in news outlets over the inferiority of young adult fiction. Just looking at the YA books that hit the shelves every week, it’s evident that they’re multi-faceted and offer a lot f variety for readers. Now, if you’re here for your weekly update, have fun seeking new reads!

This is the week of hot new romance books from Entangled Teen. They’ve got sizzling releases with the first four books below under the Contemporary section. On the fantasy front, Ghostly Echoes continues the Jackaby series by William Ritter.

August is proving to be a very slow month for YA releases. Even reprints aren’t hitting the shelves as furiously as they did during the first half of the year. Fans of Court of Fives by Kate Elliott and The Stars Never Rise by Rachel Vincent however, will be happy to pick up the respective sequels: Poisoned Blade and The Flame Never Dies.

The number of new YA books is surprisingly low this week. I can’t remember when I last found less than ten released through publishers. With so few books hot off the press this week, I’m sure many will be free devote their attention to Nevernight. For such an highly anticipated title, that indeed is great news.
