My Thoughts:
Take advantage of Buzz Books by Publishers Lunch. It is a free resource that you can get from NetGalley, Amazon, or other sources for advanced copies you have. This one divides the books into adult fiction, debut, non fiction and young adult. I like that there are diverse authors offering up diverse books so here is what I put on my TBR list:
Moko Magic: Carnival Chaos by Tracey Baptiste is a middle grades fantasy book about three cousins in Brooklyn. Their families are busy getting ready for carnival and the three discover that carnival time brings out magic that they did not know they had.
The Girl with No Reflection by Keshe Chow is a YA dark fantasy. It starts off like the best horror with something in the mirror that has her face.
It Waits in the Forest by Sarah Dass, like Moko Magic is tied to Caribbean culture and mythology, but this one is more YA than middle grades. This mystery and dark thriller will grab readers in the first couple of chapters. The beautiful cover will also be a great sell for this book.
Off with Their Heads by Zoe Hana Mikuta is my last TBR choice. This is a Korean-inspired Alice in Wonderland twist with two wicked girls and former loves who are bonded by blood and betrayal. This YA, LGBTQIA dark fantasy is another beautiful cover.
