The Weight of the Stars by K. Ancrum

Release date: March 19th, 2019
Amazon / Book Depository / Indiebound

Summary (from goodreads): Ryann Bird dreams of traveling across the stars. But a career in space isn’t an option for a girl who lives in a trailer park on the wrong side of town. So Ryann becomes her circumstances and settles for acting out and skipping school to hang out with her delinquent friends.

One day she meets Alexandria: a furious loner who spurns Ryann’s offer of friendship. After a horrific accident leaves Alexandria with a broken arm, the two misfits are brought together despite themselves—and Ryann learns her secret: Alexandria’s mother is an astronaut who volunteered for a one-way trip to the edge of the solar system.

Every night without fail, Alexandria waits to catch radio signals from her mother. And its up to Ryann to lift her onto the roof day after day until the silence between them grows into friendship, and eventually something more...

The part where I talk: How pretty is this cover? It also sounds really good, and also queer, so like I'm kind of here for it already.

Summer of a Thousand Pies by Margaret Dilloway

Release date: April 16th, 2019
Amazon / Book Depository / Indiebound

Summary (from goodreads): When twelve-year-old Cady Bennett is sent to live with the aunt she didn’t even know she had in the quaint mountain town of Julian, she doesn’t know what to expect. Cady isn’t used to stability, or even living inside, after growing up homeless in San Diego with her dad.

Now she’s staying in her mother’s old room, exploring the countryside filled with apple orchards and pie shops, making friends, and working in Aunt Shell’s own pie shop—and soon, Cady starts to feel like she belongs. Then she finds out that Aunt Shell’s pie shop is failing. Saving the business and protecting the first place she’s ever really felt safe will take everything she’s learned and the help of all her new friends. But are there some things even the perfect pie just can’t fix?

The part where I talk: Hey this is blue, too. Kinda matches! That was an accident, lol.

I really like the sound of this. Probably gonna make me cry, but that's okay.

What are you looking forward to this week? Not just in books. Tell me something in March you're looking forward to happening.

Peace and cookies,
