Every so often I like to take a look through the "Coming Soon: Books" section on Amazon. When I was younger, I lived for pre-ordering new books. I'll never forget the anticipation and excitement that came from waiting to get them, especially when something "big" was coming out. Growing up in the Harry Potter era truly was a remarkable experience. I was lucky enough to be (and still am today) a diehard HP fan during the time when the last three books were released. I'll never forget the release of Order of the Phoenix, book five.
Picture the summer of 2003: you're nine years old, school's out and after YEARS of waiting, the next book in the series is FINALLY coming out. Obviously you drove your parents nuts so they pre-ordered it months ago (thx mom and dad) and it's finally here! Except there's a catch- which was that I couldn't have or read the book until I finished all of my summer school work, LOL. Womp womp womp. My dad even went so far as to put the book OUT OF REACH in the VERY TOP cabinet in our kitchen, haha. I remember that anticipation too, knowing it was just sitting up there, waiting on me. I was always a bit of a procrastinator when it came to those book reports but no doubt I was Miss Lightning McQueen that summer, lol. If you know and love the series, I'm sure you can appreciate the level of motivation behind that one! PS- was totally worth the wait! Book 5 was and still is one of my favorites!
Many years later, I still look forward to seeing what's new in the book world. I took a browse at some of the new releases coming over the next few months + these books are the ones that caught my eye. I also didn't plan this but we also have four different genres at play today: health/nutrition, fiction, a fun rom-com + self-help. Because I've already rambled enough, I won't bore you with a synopsis of each one but I will link them all below for you. I'll also link my full reading list for you here.
You can read the synopsis + shop each book by clicking on the title below:
