Summer is here, and what better way to celebrate than by reading a great book outside? So, I've compiled a list of YA books I'm really excited about that are coming out this month! And there definitely seems to be a colour trend on all these covers! And this month is extra special, because it's the month that our very own Leigh Bardugo's SHADOW AND BONE releases! WOOHOO! And having already had the pleasure of reading it, I have to say it is a book you MUST get! Especially if you loved GRACELING - trust me, it's THAT good!
