Run, Hide, Fight Back by April Henry

 

Six teens must band together to survive after a shooting breaks out.

When a deadly shooting breaks out in a Portland shopping mall, a diverse group of teens ends up trapped behind a store’s security shutter. To her own surprise, seventeen-year-old Miranda finds the others looking to her as their leader. But she’s hiding a big secret—and she’s not the only one. The group has only three choices—run, hide, or fight back. The wrong decision will have fatal consequences.

 

Thank you Simon Teen, Little Brown, Albert Whitman, Bloomsbury Kids & Macmillan/Henry Holt

 

I’ve received some amazing book mail from publishers recently, and I wanted to publicly thank them.  Every single book I receive means the world to me.  I can’t even explain the excitement when I open a package, especially not knowing what it is.  Some of these were requested and others were surprises.

 

Thank you Simon Pulse!  

May 2019 Book Haul

 

I did much better with buying this month, but I didn’t include the travel books and atlas I bought in this haul.  Most of what I purchased were pre-orders.  There are still a couple May releases I want to pick up.

Warrior of the Wild by Tricia Levenseller

 

As her father’s chosen heir, eighteen-year-old Rasmira has trained her whole life to become a warrior and lead her village. But when her coming-of-age trial is sabotaged and she fails the test, her father banishes her to the monster-filled wilderness with an impossible quest: to win back her honour, she must kill the oppressive god who claims tribute from the villages each year or die trying.
