I‘ve finally started reading the last (but definitely not least!) book in my #NewReleaseMadness TBR!! Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi (released March 27, 2018) is the first in a new middle grade series based on Hindu mythology, in a similar vein of fun and humor as Rick Riordan‘s many mythology series (Percy Jackson and the Olympians etc.). Only a few chapters in and already I‘m having a blast!
And now for something completely different...The fourth book in my #NewReleaseMadness TBR is The Wild Robot Escapes (released March 13, 2018), the sequel to Peter Brown‘s The Wild Robot—possibly the most heartwarming story ever written about a robot. Although I mostly read ebooks these days (running out of space reasons), I had to get this in hardcover for the gorgeous illustrations. Yaaaay!!! I have really been looking forward to this.
Finally starting the third book in my #NewReleaseMadness TBR, Veera Hiranandani‘s The Night Diary (released March 6, 2018). I‘m super excited about this one, as I love epistolary novels, and even more because as a half Asian I‘m intentionally seeking out books by Asian authors this year. Also, I am interested in learning about the 1947 Partition of India. So this book hits a lot of great notes for me!
My #NewReleaseMadness continues—a month-long streak of new releases I want to read coming out every single week, woo-hoo! But the first new release on my TBR was over 500 pages sooo I am now three books behind already. 😓 Anyway, I‘m finally going to start my second new release, Last Dragon Standing—the finale to Rachel Aaron‘s super fun dragon family drama series (released March 1, 2018). Eeeee!
Almost every year there‘s about a one-month period in which a new book I want to read releases every single week. I call it #NewReleaseMadness because it‘s so crazy and fun! The timing is a little different each year, but in 2018 my #NewReleaseMadness started yesterday with the release of Rachel Hartman‘s Tess of the Road. I loooved her first duology (Seraphina and ShadowScale), so I am really excited about this one! Let the madness begin!! 📚✨
