Have you seen the new covers of the reprint editions of the Delirium series? They look stunning! I almost wish I had held off on buying the UK editions when I did since I have yet to read those books. Among the new releases I’m looking forward to the summer anthology edited by Stephanie Perkins. I fully expect the audiobook to be great fun to listen to while revelling in the sun.

After last week’s massive round of new releases, this week is much more manageable. There hasn’t been too much hype around any of these books. If you’re looking for a low-pressure read, after the incredible hype that’s been surrounding A Court of Mist and Fury, here’s your chance.

So much to read, so little time. That statement couldn’t ring any more true this week. With 47(!) new releases to start off the month of May, we’d never get through them all, even if we were full-time readers. On the other hand, being spoilt for choice means that we’re pretty much guaranteed to find a favourite or even a few among these.

My apologies for belatedly posting this week’s list of new YA releases. Then again, I’m sure most of you are so caught up in The Raven King, The Rose and the Dagger or The Star-Touched Queen. Assuming that’s true, then you probably didn’t pay attention to the remaining line-up of releases this week. In any case, here’re the latest books you can get hold of.

Here’s your weekly round-up of new young adult books you’ll be able to grab at your favourite bookstore or add to your online carts. With dozens of new books releasing every week I’m always surprised at how much originality there still is to be found. Thousands of books were published in the past decade and yet there is no slowing down. It’s so amazing and I’m glad that this means there’s always a new gem awaiting each and every reader.
