Easter is just around the corner. Maybe one of this week’s new releases should be in your Easter basket this year! And if you don’t celebrate Easter, mid-spring is a great excuse for picking up a new book.
Books for Teens/Young Adults
This May End Badly – In her efforts to win a long-standing prank war between Weston girls and Winfield boys, Doe arranges to fake date the cousin of her nemesis. But as senior year progresses, she’ll have to decide if winning the prank war is truly the most important task she has before graduation. This sounds SO amazing. It’s on my review list for later this month.
You Should Have Seen This Coming – Hayden uses her ability to see the past for her blackmail schemes. Cassie can see the future, so she knows that Hayden’s latest scheme is actually a trap. And when a future kidnapping is all Cassie can see, and nothing she does seems to change the trajectory, both girls are in trouble. This sounds amazing, too.
Books for Adults
Funny You Should Ask (Trade Paperback) – A fledgling writer who does an interview with the new James Bond leading to a long weekend of tabloid fodder has the chance to interview the actor again 10 years later. This sounds fascinating! I have this on my library wishlist.
I Guess I Haven’t Learned That Yet: Discovering New Ways of Living When the Old Ways Stop Working (Hardcover) – The latest from Shauna Niequist. In a season of chaos, when her usual patterns of processing and coping were no longer working, Niequist had some unlearning and relearning to do.
Still Just a Geek: An Annotated Memoir (Hardcover) – Writer and actor Wil Wheaton revisits his 2004 collection of essays and blog posts with new annotations as well as all-new material. I read Just a Geek back in the day, and I am looking forward to revisiting that content and seeing what new things Wil has to add. We pre-ordered this months ago. The challenge will be who gets to read it first, me or my husband.
What Is My Calling? (Trade Paperback Textbook) – A textbook from Baker Academic that looks a the Christian concept of calling through contemporary, historical, biblical, and theological lenses. I’ll be reviewing this one soon.
