A few of these books have already been released. As usual, I’m including publication dates for the rest of them.
I have two Top Ten Tuesday bloggers to thank for blogging about a couple of these titles earlier, so keep an eye out for those mentions.
1. Judy Blume: A Life by Mark Oppenheimer
Why I’m Interested: I adored her books when I was in elementary and middle school but know nothing about her personal life.
2. Poisonous People: How to Resist Them and Improve Your Life by Leanne ten Brinke
Why I’m Interested: Hopefully it will have some excellent advice for identifying and neutralizing troublemakers in any community.
3. Phases: A Memoir by Brandy
Publication Date: March 31
Why I’m Interested: This is at least the third time I’ve blogged about this memoir while waiting for its release due to how excited I am for it. One more week to go before I hopefully get to learn more about my favourite singer’s life behind the scenes. In the meantime, I’m trying to get on my library’s waitlist for it as soon as I possibly can today as they generally open it up for requests a week before a book is published. Wish me luck!
4. What We Are Seeking by Cameron Reed
Publication Date: April 7
Why I’m Interested: Science fiction set on other planets often grabs my interest.
5. American Fantasy by Emma Straub
Publication Date: April 7
Why I’m Interested: Actually dating a member of a boyband or other type of touring musician? No, thank you. Having a spouse who travels for work for most of the year sounds terribly lonely. Reading about a character who dates her boyband teenage crush, on the other hand? Sign me up.
6. Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
Thank you to Living on the Sunny Side for bringing my attention to this title!
Publication Date: April 7 (I am apparently going to be doing nothing but reading on April 7. Ha!)
Why I’m Interested: No offence to anyone who likes this stuff, but I find tradwife content terribly confusing. It seems odd to me to make a living telling other women that they should not have jobs or ambitions outside of the home. By that logic, then, shouldn’t tradwife creators stop making new content and delete all of their old stuff, too? I love the fact that this novel is exploring those contradictions.
7. Canon by Paige Lewis
Publication Date: May 19
Why I’m Interested: This sounds delightfully campy and silly.
8. The Redemption Centre Is Closed on Sundays by Andrea Hairston
Thank you to Spirit Blog for letting me know about this book.
Publication Date: May 26
Why I’m Interested: Mixing the mystery and science fiction genres together is a good way to get my attention.
Given that I have published seasonal TBR posts with as few as two books on them in the past, eight books is an excellent number for me even if it’s still a little less than the recommended amount.
Hope you enjoy these all! I haven’t read any books by Judy, but I love the look of that biography. Happy reading and spring TBR-ing. 🙂
