With so many new books hitting the shelves each week, it's hard to pick what to read next. Here are just a few new releases from this week that we can't wait to read!

A Tender Age by Chang-Rae Lee: Devastating in its emotional precision, A Tender Age captures a family and community in striking distance of the American dream, and a young person on the precipice of adult knowledge, looking at his own culpability and looking away—then thinking about it for the rest of his life.

Sunrise by Tea Obreht: Three lives, one hundred years, one ghost town: an explosive novel about a mysterious place called Sunrise, where the secrets of the past refuse to stay buried. This novel challenges the myths we think we know: of heroes and villains, of the people and places to which we lay claim, and, most of all, of our own lives.

The Hill in the Dark Grove by Liam Higginson: In this gripping debut novel, steeped in Welsh folklore, a husband and wife living in the beautiful but isolated mountains of Snowdonia stumble upon a buried Neolithic ruin—awakening a mysterious, ancient presence with its own dark designs.

You’ll Love It Here by Natalie Sue: Mona thought her living situation was bad… but the real mess is just beginning. A sharply funny, surprisingly tender novel about a woman stuck in place, her nosy neighbors, and the journey to find where she belongs—with all the heart of a grown-up The Breakfast Club.

Banned Together edited by Ashley Hope Perez: Books are disappearing from shelves across the country. What does this mean for authors, illustrators, and—most crucially—for young readers? A dazzling YA anthology that spotlights the transformative power of books while equipping teens to fight for the freedom to read.

See It to Be It by Billie Jean King: Tennis legend Billie Jean King profiles 11 of today’s pioneering athletes in women's sports in this inspiring nonfiction book based on exclusive interviews that will empower athletes and sports fans for all ages.
