Woah, you mean, we are actually getting releases that aren't 20000% young adult books made to make a quick buck?I'm in awe!
"The Galaxy and the Ground Within" by Becky Chambers comes out today too. I'm so excited! I'll be at my bookshop as soon as they open this morning.

"debut authors, acclaimed young Pakistani authors"So is it a debut author or an acclaimed author? I'm not sure someone can be both at the same time.

Exactly what I was thinking.
I laugh every time I read this list and then the inevitable comments about how certain books are left out or it all seems to be one genre, one demographic of author, etc. Seriously people! Read the disclaimer at the top and realize that GoodReads compiles this list from the top "want to read" picks. There isn't a secret GoodReads selection committee that is just trying to piss you off. Please add any wonderful books that you are excited about in the comments so we can all benefit from your input, or just move along.
I'm soo excited for The Perfect Daughter By D.J. Palmer!!
Crying in H Mart looks fantastic! I love memoirs.

She's great!
"Scottish/Jamaican authors who specialize in Caribbean-themed cross-genre adventures" I wonder just how many authors fit into this category....
May 1 Stolen Thoughts by Tim Tigner and Jason Kasper's Manhattan Job in his series on heists...and Absolute Zero by Jack Mars.

it's a collection of stories! so there's probably stories by both debut authors and acclaimed authors.
These all look fantastic! Where to start???
