I’m sharing a handful of June new releases that I enjoyed, but didn’t make it into the guide because I either missed them or didn’t think they were a good fit. You’ll find a wonderful mix of action and adventure, graphic novels, young adult literature, and illustrated books for younger middle grade readers.

May often feels to me like the start of summer. I'm extra excited as always because the 2025 Summer Reading Guide drops in less than a week! You can pre-order it here. I’m sharing a short list of May new releases–none of which are on this year’s guide 😏–that I read and enjoyed. This month’s list is a great mix of graphic novels, adventure/survival fiction, historical fiction, and sports fiction -- none of which are on this year's Summer Reading Guide.

This month, I had to wade through a flood of buzzy new releases to find books that kids will actually like. After several DNFs, I landed at nine highly readable, charming, and intriguing titles, including a mix of mystery, adventure, graphic novels, historical fiction, and more! You can get a sneak peek at three of those titles in the video below.

March is a special month for lovers of middle grade literature, thanks to Middle Grade March, a month-long celebration of middle grade books! Publishing seems to have really leaned into this idea because there are so many wonderful middle grade books releasing in March 2025. I’m sharing 11 wonderful books to look forward to this month! From delightful graphic novels to powerful coming-of-age stories and well-researched historical fiction, there’s plenty to choose from.

After the longest month of the year, it feels good to enter a definitively shorter month. I loved so many of the books releasing this month and also just enjoyed the range of reading experiences, from middle grade to young adult, graphic novels to verse, and contemporary to realistic. For the first time in a while, I actually shed a few tears reading several books on this list. If you’ve been looking for refreshing, thoughtful, and cathartic reading experiences, this month’s releases are just what the doctor ordered.

We’re kicking things off right with some truly remarkable middle grade books releasing this month. Some months, nearly every book coming is meh at best, but that’s not the case in January! What a way to start the year off with a bang. On this list, you’ll find several excellent graphic novels, multiple exceptional historical fiction releases (including one that’s probably my favorite release this month), and a healthy mix of younger middle-grade and upper-middle-grade choices.
