It's been awhile since I've posted anything other than what I'm reading. End of the school year busy-ness has taken over my life. But it's done (well, being busy is never really done), but I've got breathing room. A few more days and I'll have even more breathing room. I'm thinking about my summer reading life. I'm thinking about writing more.
Today I came across Kellee and Ricki's post at Unleashing Readers and Carrie's post at There Is A Book For That on the Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases for the Rest of 2015. Now that, I can write about! Here's my Top 10, in no particular order!

The Day the Crayons Came Home by Drew Daywalt
Aug. 18
I loved the original and it's a book you can share with all ages. I can't wait to see what Daywalt has cooked up next.

Milo Speck, Accidental Agent by Linda Urban
Sept. 1
I'm cheating just a bit with this one since I have an advanced e-copy from Edelweiss. But it's never the same as when you're holding the actual book copy! I love Milo's story so far and I know it will be an easy sell to young readers!
![The Marvels](https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1423498163l/23566909.jpg)
The Marvels by Brian Selznick
Sept. 15
Selznick is so completely talented. This is sure to be amazing!
![Waiting](https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1427623667l/23735067.jpg)
Waiting by Kevin Henkes
Sept. 1
So, I don't think I have to say anything about this one.
![A Night Divided](https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1422357218l/22024488.jpg)
A Night Divided by Jennifer Nielsen
Aug. 25
I love historical fiction and I adored Nielsen's other books. I'm very excited for this one!
![A Little in Love](https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1407341673l/20738167.jpg)
A Little in Love by Susan Fletcher
Aug. 25
So this is the Les Mis story told in Eponine's POV. Ok, I can sing "On My Own" backwards, I love this character so much. Cannot. Wait.
![Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast](https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1426685711l/23358986.jpg)
Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast by Josh Funk
Sept. 1
Food fight anyone? And I have my Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast pins. Oh yeah! Well, at least until my daughter steals them! Written by a Twitter buddy, Josh Funk!
![Francine Poulet Meets the Ghost Raccoon: Tales from Deckawoo Drive, Volume Two](https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1429033424l/24727081.jpg)
Francine Poulet Meets the Ghost Raccoon by Kate DiCamillo
Aug. 25
So another one I kinda sorta cheated on since I've already read the e-copy from Net Galley, but I really want to hold the real thing in my hands! And see the gorgeous illustrations by Chris Van Dusen. I can't wait to share this book with kids!
![Sunny Side Up](https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1423543976l/24612600.jpg)
Sunny Side Up by Jennifer and Matt Holm
Aug. 25
My bank account is going for broke on Aug. 25! Anything this brother and sister do is a must read in my book!
![Crenshaw](https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1424456287l/23310699.jpg)
Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate
Sept. 22
Yeah, I really can't wait for this one!!
Any new titles for you? Do you have a bigger TBR list now? It's ever growing, isn't it??
I almost fell off my chair. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE CRAYONS COME HOME WAS A NEW RELEASE! I can't believe it! How did I miss this? This just made my night! I wish I'd seen this earlier so I could have done a happy dance all night long! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMan! So many here I want to go and add to our list now!
ReplyDeleteI CANNOT wait for Marvels or Crenshaw or Crayons!! So many great books coming out soon :)
P.S. I am so excited for Sunny Side Up! I am such a fan of Jenni Holms (and I am so lucky to be presenting with her at NCTE--I am stoked!)
DeleteI forgot about A Night Divided! I am also looking forward to Waiting and Josh's book!
