I'm most excited about A Court of Frost and Starlight! I'm really interested in trying Sleeping Giants and Sins of Empire.These also release in May:
Legendary (Caraval #2) by Stephanie Garber
The Burning Maze (The Trials of Apollo #3) by Rick Riordan
Patiently waiting for Only Human & The Summer Children. Oh! The Burning Maze is also set to be released this May 1st!
Can't wait for War Storm! I should probably read A Court Of Thorns And Roses, but I haven't found it at my library ;(
I'm excited for book sequels that are arriving this September! Not Your Backup is the final book in the Not Your Sidekick series which I fell in love with really quickly. Also, ten years after saying he wouldn't do anymore Uglies books, Scott Westerfeld is releasing a new Uglies book! Impostors!!!!
It would be real nice to get the new book in the Game Of Thrones series, also i can't wait for the newest in the Lords Of The Underworld series.. The Winds of Winter The Darkest Warrior
Only the Innocent book--I want to read this book!!
Nota bene...A Court of Thorns and Roses is technically NA, not YA. I haven't read the series, but I've read passages. The books contain graphic sex scenes that leave nothing to the imagination. It's probably an entertaining story, but it is not appropriate for teens.

Just reread Beartown by Frederik Backman and eagerly anticipate the 2nd book in June (UK) release date This is a planned trilogy from what I read.
These books are so helpful. Glad I found this Hayley. Thank you so much for sharing.
Force of Nature & The Lost Man - Jane HarperMiss Kopp Just Won't Quit - Amy Stewart

As the above tagline suggests, William Arrowood and Norman Barnett are the poor mans Holmes and Watson in Mick Finlay's "Arrowood".
