Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas

“From start to finish, the main character has humor that will make you laugh out loud. Set in the future with many past references, this book will keep you on your toes. For fans you loved the first book of Fourth Wing, this talks about coming of age and learning to train hard and finding a power of your own.” -Stephanie

Tim—Bookseller, New Bern, NC

Four Ruined Realms by Mia Corland

“This is the next book in the Broken Blades Trilogy and it is just as action packed and twist filled as the last! Mai has a way of writing that will have you saying, OK. just one more chapter all night. and the cliffhanger at the end is even better than the end of Five Broken Blades. I can’t wait for the next book, due out later this Summer!” -Tim

Natalie—Bookseller, Woodbridge, VA

Lights Out by Navessa Allen

“I never thought a stalker romance could involve a golden retriever MMC but here we go. I honestly wish I could go back and read this book for the 1st time. But I know this will be a frequent re-read. Josh is hot and hysterical. Aly is strong and surprising. The banter is some of the best I've read in a while, so many times I found myself barking with laughter. And, of course, the spice was on point.” -Natalie

Adrianna—Bookseller, South Portland, ME

My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

“Ottessa Moshfegh always does a phenomenal job with taking mundane plots and turning them into a whirlwind of humor, emotion, and devastation. My Year of Rest and Relaxation nothing of the three: it is a dark exploration of grief, privilege, and self-destruction. There is a satisfying balance of bleak humor and unsettling introspection that leaves the reader both HOOKED and SHOOK by the end of the book!” -Adrianna 

Kaylea—Bookseller, Oak Ridge, TN

Only In Your Dreams by Ellie K. Wilde

“Oddly adorable, this not-dark-romance-but-kinda book is such a 10/10! It was surprisingly wholesome and enjoyable through and through. You will feel for all the characters... especially when you get to the end! What a shock! If you enjoy romance and a little bit of magic (okay, a lot of magic haha), you will LOVE this!” -Kaylea

Nick—Bookseller, South Portland, ME

Sakamoto Days by Yuto Suzuki

“Sakamoto Days is my favorite manga right now! It stands out from other Shonen series due to its super creative fight choreography, consistently funny sense of humor, and one of the most interesting casts of characters in modern manga. The story grows more interesting with each volume, causing me to anxiously await every new release! This series is a super fun read that I highly recommend. It is also currently being adapted as a new anime on Netflix!” -Nick

Kaitlin—Bookseller, Wheeling, WV

Tell Me What You Did by Carter Wilson

“This book is a fast paced, exciting book where the main character is the host of a true crime podcast with a twist: the guests on the show are criminals confessing their crimes. This book is amazing and a nice twist on the traditional podcaster/guest style plotline. Highly recommend!” -Kaitlin

Canon—Bookseller, Panama City, FL

The Last Kids on Earth by Douglas Holgate & Max Brallier

“My nephew loved these books dearly, often saying there was a character for everyone to feel seen and heard. It features a story that age appropriate, and easy to follow, but still takes itself, and the reader, seriously enough to make an impact.” -Canon

 Becky—Bookseller,New Bern, NC

The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst

“This cozy cottage core romantasy has everything - warm tea and cinnamon buns, a talking spider plant, magical creatures, adventure, friends that become family, and is simply hard to put down. Loved it. Would love to read more by this author.”-Becky

Alexis—Bookseller, Somerset, KY

Wings of Starlight by Allison Saft

“Gather round, all my fellow Pixie Hollow lovers! Those of us who grew up reading those Pixie Hollow books or loved "Secret of the Wings" are absolutely head over heels for this book! This time our protagonist is our beloved Queen Clarion prior to her becoming the ruler we know her as today, and her story with the Lord of Winter, Milori. The nostalgia and the love for these two characters from childhood is what truly makes this book so special, and it is such a perfect read for those who need a moment to relive the days where we were laying out food and making tiny houses for our beloved fairies as thanks for bringing the seasons to us.” -Alexis
