Exciting YA Releases for the First Half of 2022

22 comments

Welcome to 2022, fellow bookish nerds! I am so excited to be in this new year, I can’t lie. And part of that excitement stems from the fact that SO STINKING MANY great new books are releasing this year. As someone who positively lives for books—that is the best news. And as someone who especially lives for YA, I thought it’d be fun to collect some YAs I’m stoked for in the first half of the year.

Quick caveat here: since these are unreleased books, I haven’t read (most of) them yet, so I’ll be basing my little descriptions off of GoodReads, but I won’t just be copying and pasting. So hopefully this’ll be fun! Another caveat: dates may change due to supply chain issues. In addition, I’m doing two per month for the sake of not being too unwieldy! There are more, though!

Let’s jump in with the books!


"When You Get The Chance" by Emma Lord (Jan. 4, 2022)

Let’s be real, I was sold as soon as I saw this was an Emma Lord book, but the Mamma Mia! vibes of main character Millie searching for her mother out of three options really sold it for me. This book came out Jan. 4, 2022, so it’s available now for your reading pleasure!

"The Ivory Key" by Akshaya Raman (Jan. 4, 2022)

I’ve heard this described as a treasure hunt featuring four estranged royal siblings, so—that sold me, let’s be real. Importantly, each of the siblings have secrets and hidden agendas, which means this is going to be a wildly adventurous tale I can’t wait to read! Also published on Jan. 4, 2022!

"Castles in their Bones" by Laura Sebastian (Feb. 1, 2022)

This is the start of a new YA series by the author of Ash Princess. In essence, three princess sisters are each promised to three princes for royal alliances and political stuff…with the secret knowledge being that their mother has trained them each from birth to ASSASSINATE their husband. Um, hi. Sign me up!

"Reclaim the Stars: 17 Tales Across Time and Space" edited by Zoraida Córdova (Feb. 15, 2022)

This one is an anthology of diaspora stories written by established and up-and-coming Latine authors. It’s firmly in the science fiction and fantasy realm, and frankly, I can’t wait. Mix adventures with cultures not my own, and the result is a collection I’m sure to adore. Out Feb. 15, 2022!

"Travelers Along the Way: A Robin Hood Remix" by Aminah Mae Safi (March 1, 2022)

I’ve actually read this one! It’s not out til March 1, but you can and should preorder it. A Robin Hood reimagination set during the time of the Third Crusade featuring a Muslim thief, her sister, and a ragtag band of travelers who live solidly inside my heart, this is a tale you don’t want to miss!

"One For All" by Lillie Lainoff (March 8, 2022)

Tell me you’re going to give me a genderbent Three Musketeers with disabled rep and I am absolutely there! This has been a highly anticipated release for me for ages, the cover is absolutely stunning, and the pitch is airtight. It comes out Mar. 8, 2022, and frankly I cannot wait.

"Love From Scratch" by Kaitlyn Hill (April 5, 2022)

I’ve been waiting for this one for so long! Kaitlyn Hill used to call it a “nom-com” and frankly, I think that’s perfect. It’s romantic, hilarious, and there’s so much food you’re going to want to have a snack handy while devouring these pages. Out April 5, 2022!

"An Arrow to the Moon" by Emily X.R. Pan (April 12, 2022)

Emily X.R. Pan has been an auto-buy author for me since her 2018 debut swept me away, and the fact that this book is Chinese mythology meets Romeo and Juliet did not hurt. It comes out April 12th, which gives you just enough time to get thrilled and excited!

"Once Upon a K-Prom" by Kat Cho (May 17, 2022)

You tell me that Kat freaking Cho is writing a rom-com and I am there!!! Especially since this is about a K-Pop star showing up to fulfill his childhood promise of taking Elena to prom, and there’s a romance and stardom and oh my God, I can’t. Out May 17th, 2022.

"The Merciless Ones" by Namina Forna (May 31, 2022)

This is the sequel to an absolutely stunning YA fantasy debut from 2021. I don’t want to share the synopsis for this in case you haven’t read The Gilded Ones, but know that it’s a fierce feminist fantasy about Black girls discovering their magic and taking their power back from the forces who tried to keep them down. It’s out May 31, 2022, so you have time to read (or reread) book 1 before this sequel blows all our minds!

"Home Field Advantage" by Dahlia Adler (June 7, 2022)

Dahlia Adler writes incredible queer romances, and I’m so looking forward to this one, about a female quarterback and female cheer squad captain who fall in love. That’s all I know about it and, frankly, that’s all I needed to know. Out June 7, 2022!

"This Vicious Grace" by Emily Thiede (June 28, 2022)

I’m sorry but a YA fantasy inspired by Italy and set in an imaginary Amalfi Coast? I am so there. It also features bodyguard romance, banter, and has been described as a kind of fantasy romantic comedy which is pretty much all my favorite genres smashed into one. I cannot wait until June 28, 2022.

I unexpectedly lost access to my cryptonator account a few weeks ago and couldn’t access my Bitcoin wallet, it continues to show that I was blocked and I had no access.
I thought I had lost everything because I had $87,000 in my Bitcoin wallet. I saw a review about Spyweb Cyber on the internet, a funds recovery service that has provided recovery services for many other people, I didn’t hesitate to contact them, and behold, SPYWEB cyber was able to recover my Bitcoin wallet and I got my money restored. I’m truly grateful to SPYWEB CYBER for restoring my Bitcoin wallet. You can reach SPYWEB cyber with one of the following:

My heart is filled with joy after a successful funds recovery with KNIGHTHOODBOT RECOVERY SERVICES. I was left helpless after loosing my life savings to a crypto scam, this lady that I met online on Instagram “ Miss Gray “ promised me that this was the right choice for me to invest in the trade market and grow my money instead of leaving it in the bank while the banks use my money to trade in the stock market and earn their profits with my money without my knowledge, all this I have a serious thought and decided to follow up her advice which ended up leaving me with nothing after , I only got paid once from the trades and never received a dime after that . My husband never knew about this at first , I tried keeping it from him but he’s  the sensitive type , he knew something was bothering me and at some point I had to open up , he was so disappointed at first for me not telling him all this while . When he heard how much I lost to the company he quickly took the matter up and hired a private hacker to help with the case “ KNIGHTHOODBOT @ gmail dot com “ and that was how the scam scheme came to an end . He recovered the whole £584,500 back to a new wallet .. I’m grateful to both the hacker and my husband of course for not giving up on me even when I lost hope . In case you ever find yourself in a situation whereby you need a hacker’s services you should not hesitate to contact the Hacking agency either through their direct email : KNIGHTHOODBOT @ gmail dot com  or their official telegram account: @ KNIGHTHOODBOT9

Wow, how time flies , it’s been over a year now since working with KNIGHTHOODBOT Recovery team to Recover my investment That has been held in an online investment platform . This fake platform was created just to deceive people who are newbies in the cryptocurrency space and I was so unlucky to have been one of those people , last year I ended up investing my Tuition fee in this fake website and never got my profits back even after the trade is completed , I first reached out to a few Recovery hackers but all of them were incompetent and was just after the little I had left to sustain myself . Then I almost gave up on me ever being able to recover the funds but I decided to give KNIGHTHOODBOT TEAM a try and it turned out right , not that I expected it to be but I guess I was lucky this time . I don’t know what I could have done that very year without the help of the team. They were very responsive throughout the recovery process .

As someone who has struggled to make ends meet, I know how stressful and overwhelming it can be to try and keep up with bills and expenses. So I turned to Robinhood Hackers for help; it was the best decision ever.

Their team of professional hackers provided me with a clone ATM card that allowed me to withdraw up to $5,000 a day. This was a game-changer for me - it helped me pay my bills, put food on the table, and take care of my family.

What I appreciated most about Robinhood Hackers was how discreet and professional their team was throughout the process. They ensured everything was done legally and ethically, and I never had to worry about getting caught or facing any legal trouble.

If you're someone who needs financial help, I highly recommend reaching out to Robinhood Hackers. Contact them today at digitalrobinhoodhackers@gmail.com or text/WhatsApp them at +1 (502) 509-4485 and start taking control of your finances. Trust me - it will be the best decision you ever make.

Maintaining well-hydrated skin is effortless with simple practices. Drink an ample amount of water throughout the day to hydrate from within. Choose a gentle, hydrating cleanser that preserves your skin's natural moisture. Incorporate a hydrating serum containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid to boost moisture retention. Apply a nourishing moisturizer immediately after cleansing to lock in hydration. Consider using a humidifier in your living spaces to add moisture to the air, benefiting your skin. Limit hot showers and opt for lukewarm water to prevent excess moisture loss. These uncomplicated steps help you achieve and sustain a healthy, radiant complexion.
