Follow us + tag a friend in the comments for a chance to win an ARC of #Stormrise by @jillian.boehme! #sweepstakes . About Stormrise: If Rain weren’t a girl, she would be respected as a Neshu combat master. Instead, her gender dooms her to a colorless future. When an army of nomads invades her kingdom, and a draft forces every household to send one man to fight, Rain takes her chance to seize the life she wants. Knowing she’ll be killed if she’s discovered, Rain purchases powder made from dragon magic that enables her to disguise herself as a boy. Then she hurries to the war camps, where she excels in her training—and wrestles with the voice that has taken shape inside her head. The voice of a dragon she never truly believed existed. As war looms and Rain is enlisted into an elite, secret unit tasked with rescuing the High King, she begins to realize this dragon tincture may hold the key to her kingdom’s victory. For the dragons that once guarded her land have slumbered for centuries . . . and someone must awaken them to fight once more. . #torbooks #torteen #bookstagram #instabooks #instareads #reading #yanovels #ireadya #fiercereads #toberead #socialreadia #bookish #bookstoshare #yabookish #youngadult #yanovels #jillianboehme .

Happy #bookbirthday to #HeartwoodBox by @ann_aguirre_author! 🎉 · About Heartwood Box: When Araceli Flores Harper is sent to stay with her great-aunt Ottilie in her ramshackle Victorian home, the plan is simple. She’ll buckle down and get ready for college. Life won’t be exciting, but she’ll cope, right? Wrong. From the start, things are very, very wrong. Her great-aunt still leaves food for the husband who went missing twenty years ago, and local businesses are plastered with MISSING posters. There are unexplained lights in the woods and a mysterious lab just beyond the city limits that the locals don’t talk about. Ever. When she starts receiving mysterious letters that seem to be coming from the past, she suspects someone of pranking her or trying to drive her out of her mind. To solve these riddles and bring the lost home again, Araceli must delve into a truly diabolical conspiracy, but some secrets fight to stay buried… · #torteen #torbooks #reading #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookstoread #instabooks #instareads #toberead #ireadya #upcomingreleases #newbooks #2019books #annaguirre

About Don't Say a Word: Kylene Danners’s ex-FBI agent father is in prison for murder and she’s hell-bent on getting him out. But trying to investigate in the small town where a defensive lineman is a hero no matter who he tries to kill and the girl who gets him locked up is public enemy number one is dangerous. Dark secrets are everywhere in Jasperville—the kind Ky can’t walk away from. When rookie FBI agent Cedric Dawson returns to town to finish an open investigation, he goes undercover at her high school—as her ex. Determined to keep her from interfering, Dawson’s plan backfires after Ky gets an anonymous call about missing girls officially labeled as runaways—runaways that didn’t really run away at all. Because dead girls can’t run. And they don’t say a word. . #torbooks #torteen #bookstagram #instabooks #instareads #reading #yanovels #ireadya #fiercereads #toberead #socialreadia #bookish #bookstoshare #yabookish #youngadult #yanovels #amberlynnnatusch .

It's #NationalSunglassesDay and #ThrowbackThursday! We're celebrating with one of our favorite summer romances 😎 · About Love Songs & Other Lies: Two years after rock-song-worthy heartbreak, Virginia Miller is looking forward to a fun, carefree summer. Her friends just landed a spot on a battling bands reality show, and Vee is joining them for her dream internship on tour. Three months with future rockstars seems like an epic summer plan. Until she learns she’ll also be sharing the bus with Cam. Her first love, and her first heartbreak. Now Vee has more than just cameras to dodge, and Cam’s determination to win her forgiveness is causing TMZ-worthy problems for both of them. With cameras rolling, she’ll have to decide if her favorite breakup anthem deserves a new ending. And if she’s brave enough to expose her own secrets to keep Cam’s under wraps. Breaking Vee’s heart was never Cam’s plan. All he wanted senior year was a new life, in a new town, uninterrupted by the tragedy he left behind. Then Vee swept him into a whirlwind of friendship, musical adventure, and a love he didn’t expect or want. Now, he has a second chance to make it right. But things get complicated when ratings-crazy producers, cameramen, and fans are involved. Can he rewrite their love song with the whole world watching? Sometimes the last note is just the beginning. Love Songs & Other Lies is the debut romance from Jessica Pennington that Katie McGarry calls "fun and full of heart with a hero who stole my heart!” · #torteen #torbooks #reading #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookstoread #instabooks #instareads #toberead #ireadya #upcomingreleases #newbooks #2019books #jessicapennington #whensummerends
#AngerIsAGift by @markdoesstuff is a great read all year round, but we're especially happy to see so many people picking it up during #PrideMonth 🏳️‍🌈 . About Anger Is a Gift: Moss Jeffries is many things—considerate student, devoted son, loyal friend and affectionate boyfriend, enthusiastic nerd. But sometimes Moss still wishes he could be someone else—someone without panic attacks, someone whose father was still alive, someone who hadn’t become a rallying point for a community because of one horrible night. And most of all, he wishes he didn’t feel so stuck. Moss can’t even escape at school—he and his friends are subject to the lack of funds and crumbling infrastructure at West Oakland High, as well as constant intimidation by the resource officer stationed in their halls. That was even before the new regulations—it seems sometimes that the students are treated more like criminals. Something will have to change—but who will listen to a group of teens? When tensions hit a fever pitch and tragedy strikes again, Moss must face a difficult choice: give in to fear and hate or realize that anger can actually be a gift. . #torbooks #torteen #bookstagram #instabooks #instareads #reading #yanovels #ireadya #fiercereads #toberead #socialreadia #bookish #bookstoshare #yabookish #youngadult #yanovels #markoshiro #markdoesstuff

Happy Friday! What are you reading this weekend? We're having a @kris10writes reading marathon! · About The Deceivers: Welcome to Vale Hall, the school for aspiring con artists. When Brynn Hilder is recruited to Vale, it seems like the elite academy is her chance to start over, away from her mom’s loser boyfriend and her rundown neighborhood. But she soon learns that Vale chooses students not so much for their scholastic talent as for their extracurricular activities, such as her time spent conning rich North Shore kids out of their extravagant allowances. At first, Brynn jumps at the chance to help the school in its mission to rid the city of corrupt officials—because what could be better than giving entitled jerks what they deserve? But that’s before she meets her mark—a senator’s son—and before she discovers the school’s headmaster has secrets he’ll stop at nothing to protect. As the lines between right and wrong blur, Brynn begins to realize she’s in way over head. · #torteen #torbooks #reading #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookstoread #instabooks #instareads #toberead #ireadya #upcomingreleases #newbooks #2019books #thedeceivers #kristensimmons #metaltown #pacifica

Hundreds of miles away, Chrystal’s plans for summer in Manhattan are abruptly upended when her dad reads tabloid coverage of some kind of grisly incident in Oklahoma.

As townsfolk start disappearing and the attacks get ever closer, Logan and Chrystal will have to find out the truth about whatever’s hiding in the woods…before they become targets themselves. . #torbooks #torteen #bookstagram #instabooks #instareads #reading #yanovels #ireadya #fiercereads #toberead #socialreadia #bookish #bookstoshare #yabookish #youngadult #yanovels #carriejones #stevenewedel .
