Hello, August! A new month brings the start of the "Back to School" season, cooler weather, and (of course) a new issue of Precommendations! This post is, admittedly, a little late this month, but I filled last week to the brim with BookTube-A-Thon. So, unfortunately, this post is coming to you this weekend instead of last weekend. I am so excited to share all of the new books that are coming out this month. Since there are so many coming out this month, I couldn't make myself choose any one book over another; they all sound so good! Make sure you let me know what books you are looking forward to this month in the comments.

​       July is an excellent time for book buying. It’s the middle of summer, and it's the middle of a season when we can read whatever we want whenever we want. I was so happy to see the eclectic bunch of new releases coming out this month. Usually, during this time of year, I’m in a full-on contemporary mode, but this group of books has gotten me excited to read a bunch of different genres! If there are any that I missed, let me know in the comments!

       It’s officially SUMMER VACATION!!! I’m so excited to have ample time to read and share my bookish thoughts with you! I’m also excited to be bringing you another edition of Precommendations this month, filled with plenty of cute contemporary reads to last you all month. If there are any June releases that you think I need to add to my list, be sure to let me know in the comments. I don’t want to miss out on a great read!

      May is here, and it has brought warmer weather with it! I am so excited to see summer around the corner, and my anticipated releases certainly reflect that. I am very much a mood-reader, so when the seasons change, my genre ratio in my reading shifts, specifically to contemporaries in the summer. So, I have lined up six up-and-coming books to share with you this month along with some exciting news. 

​       Spring is in the air, and with a new season comes more books! This month I have three very different books to share with you, all of which I can’t wait to read.
       If you’re new to my blog and this series (hello!) Precommendations is a monthly series I do where I make a list of my most anticipated young adult releases for the upcoming month. Be sure to share any books that you are excited about in the comments!

       Spring is in the air, my fellow readers! March is one of my favorite months of the year. The weather gets warmer than February, I spend more time outdoors than I did during basketball season, AND it’s my birthday month! (March 22nd, if any of you feel so inclined to send me books, hahaha) Besides being a good time of year, there are so many great book releases this month that I can’t wait to read. 

       I know what you’re thinking: “ASHTON IT’S THE FREAKING MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY WHERE WAS THIS POST AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH?!” First of all: ow, my ears. Second of all: ImsosorrypleaseforgivemeitwillneverhappenagainIpromise. I have no idea how it happened, but I looked up, and it was the middle of the month, and somehow, Precommendations had slipped my mind. But never fear, my noble book lovers, because today is the day you finally get your February releases!
