It kinda sorta is starting to feel like spring outside, so a spring reading list is here! Or, you know, Amanda’s loose plan for what she wants to read this spring. Because it almost always ends up changing. I have too many books to read and not enough time to do it! Maybe someday I won’t be doing like 5 things at once and I’ll actually have time to read (laughs hysterically).
But in all seriousness, guys. There are plenty of books that I want to read before the spring time is over and we move into summer! Because summer reads have a different feel than spring reads, you know. Summer is the time for happy beach reads, with maybe a few serious books thrown in. This year, though, my summer might just mean “let’s catch up on Spider-Man comics!” Which is a feat I now think might never happen. 😂
This post is another post for the Bookending Spring 2019 event! This prompt was created by AJ @ For the Love of Diversity in Books and hosted by Sam @ Fictionally Sam. Here’s my previous Bookend Event post! And stay tuned, because I’ll be a host at the end of the month!
Spring Reading List: ARCs
I’ve actually been pretty good about keeping up with my ARCs lately, outside of the ones that I grab from work. Let me rephrase: I’ve been pretty good about keeping up with ARCs assigned to me. I got a couple more in the last week or so that aren’t due out until June, so I’ll hopefully be getting to these soon! Here are the ARCs I’ve got to read this spring (and the links to their Goodreads pages):
- Brief Chronicle of Another Stupid Heartbreak by Adi Alsaid
- Brave Face by Shaun David Hutchinson
- This Might Hurt a Bit by Doogie Horner
- Something Like Gravity by Amber Smith
- How to Make Friends with the Dark by Kathleen Glasgow
- Call It What You Want by Brigid Kemmerer
- Wild and Crooked by Leah Thomas
About half of those are due out in May, half in June, so I’ve got plenty of time to finish them, right? Right.😅
General Books
Outside of ARCs and reviews, there are other books I’d like to get to soon as well! Including some for my reading challenges that I haven’t quite picked out yet. Working on it though! Here are some other books I’d like to read this spring:
- Bloom by Kevin Panetta, illustrated by Savanna Ganucheau
- The Handmaid’s Tale: Graphic Novel by Margaret Atwood, illustrated by Renee Nault
- The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See (B&N Book Club Book!)
- Shout by Laurie Halse Anderson
- Defy Me by Tahereh Mafi
- All the Stars Denied by Guadalupe Garcia McCall
- Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak (I really, really want to finally get around to reading this)
- I, Claudia by Mary McCoy
- Ophelia by Charlotte Gingras
What an ambitious list I have for my spring reads. I guess I better get reading!
