There are so many books this month. There are actually 24 books releasing this month that I am interested in checking out! It took a lot of work to narrow down this list. In other words I have a lot of honorable mentions today. There are also some summer themed books starting to release and it is making me realize that summer is just around the corner. When did that happen? Check out below to see my most anticipated books releasing in May and hopefully add some of them to your TBR pile!

Waiting On Wednesday (7/17)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

 

Here is what I am eagerly anticipating this week:

 

Title: The Beginning of Everything

Author: Robyn Schneider

Pages: 330

Genre: Contemporary

Publisher: Katherine Tegen
Publication Date: August 27th 2013

 

Synopsis (from Goodreads):

Golden boy Ezra Faulkner believes everyone has a tragedy waiting for them—a single encounter after which everything that really matters will happen. His particular tragedy waited until he was primed to lose it all: in one spectacular night, a reckless driver shatters Ezra’s knee, his athletic career, and his social life.

No longer a front-runner for Homecoming King, Ezra finds himself at the table of misfits, where he encounters new girl Cassidy Thorpe. Cassidy is unlike anyone Ezra’s ever met, achingly effortless, fiercely intelligent, and determined to bring Ezra along on her endless adventures.

But as Ezra dives into his new studies, new friendships, and new love, he learns that some people, like books, are easy to misread. And now he must consider: if one’s singular tragedy has already hit and everything after it has mattered quite a bit, what happens when more misfortune strikes?

Robyn Schneider’s The Beginning of Everything is a lyrical, witty, and heart-wrenching novel about how difficult it is to play the part that people expect, and how new beginnings can stem from abrupt and tragic endings.
