It has occurred to me that I miss talking about books, deeply. And so I thought about getting excited about books again and there it was: this little post of me screaming about some upcoming releases I can’t wait to read.
Can you believe half of 2024 has gone by already, because I certainly can’t. I wanted to compile some of my most anticipated ya books for this later half of the year and I hope you’ll find some book(s) to get excited about, with me, here!!

10 Fall & Winter 2024 YA Books To Read
Last Seen Online, Lauren James
I absolutely adore Lauren James’ work, it’s always so one of a kind and thrilling. This one’s a YA murder mystery set in LA, ft. old fandom conspiracy theories and high Hollywood society teens and this sounds like a DREAM I’m so here for this!
Find on Goodreads ☂️ Buy on: Amazon – Bookshop – Blackwell’s
Girls Who Burn, M.K. Pagano
This is a YA enemies-to-lovers kind of thriller, where the main character has to pair up with her childhood rival to figure out what happened to her sister… and to someone else, barely a year later. This sounds like such an exciting mystery and I love that cover!!

The Loudest Silence, Sydney Langford
Casey’s learning to navigate the world as a deaf person, while trying to conceal it from her classmates. Hayden wants to pursue a career on Broadway, but his own anxiety makes it hard to share that plan with his loved ones. This book seems like such a heartfelt YA contemporary book ft. mental health + disability rep and I am SO pumped for that!

With Love, Echo Park, Laura Taylor Namey
I adore Laura Taylor Namey’s book and I’m SO pumped for her upcoming YA contemporary! It’s about two Cuban teens in LA’s Echo Park neighborhood and it’s supposed to have these Gilmore Girls small town kind of vibes and I’m so here for that!

Nothing Like The Movies, Lynn Painter
I recently fell for Lynn Painter’s books and can’t WAIT to read Nothing Like The Movies, now! I absolutely loved the first book and am curious to see where things go, next. I’m expecting and hoping for the banter, the fluff and all the softness I found in the first book.

Us in Ruins, Rachel Moore
In this book, Margot is on a quest to find a cursed vase… with the help of a boy who disappeared back in 1932. Sounds soooo exciting right? I love adventure kind of books like that, I loved Rachel Moore’s The Library of Shadows and I’m pumped for this one!

When the World Tips Over, Jandy Nelson
Jandy Nelson is ready to break all of our hearts again. I was such a fan of her previous YA novels, I’m so curious to read this next one. It’s about a family, an enigmatic rainbow-haired girl coming into their lives, it has road trips and love stories and emotions and I can’t wait!

Remember Me Tomorrow, Farah Heron
This one sounds so unique! It’s about a lonely college freshman who discovers she can text a former resident of her dorm… who disappeared. Doesn’t that sound kind of awesome?!

A Song To Drown Rivers, Ann Liang
I’m obsessed with Ann Liang’s YA contemporary books, so I can’t wait to see what she does in the fantasy genre. This one is about Xishi, using her beauty as a weapon to infiltrate the palace and avenge her sister. This sounds so exciting and I can’t wait to read it!

I am pretty out of the loop when it comes to YA, but I HAVE to read the new Painter and Nelson books. It’s been forever since Jandy Nelson released a book, and I miss her stories. I will never get enough of Liz and Wes.
Agree, I miss her stories so much as well, she’s such an excellent writer <3 Thank you, Sam! <3
Oooh remember me tomorrow does sounds kinda cool!
It really does, can’t wait to read it!! 🙂
I hadn’t heard of most of these books, but it was interesting to discover them! Us in Ruins sounds a bit different which I really like and it is wonderful that you liked the author’s previous book!
I’m intrigued to see Ann Liang’s fantasy book too! ✨
Hope you love all these books!
Thank you so much, Sophie!! <3
I already had a few of these on my TBR and have now added a couple more. I always want to read more contemporary novels and When The World Tips Over seems like a really interesting and powerful one to check out. Remember Me Tomorrow seems like such a unique concept too and Us In Ruins seems intriguing . But there are others that I’ve added too.
Also just to let you know your link for Silent Sister takes you to a different book.
After reading your other post I’d added one of the adult books to my TBR and the other is already on it. Although I had no clue that it was by those authors.
I hope you end up loving all of these.
Oh yay, so happy I could make your TBR grow! I hope you’ll enjoy all of these books and thanks so, so much for stopping by!! <3 <3
I’m surprised I actually have most of these on my TBR already! Most of the time they’re new to me books

Ahh yay, well glad to see we seem to have the same taste in books!! <3
Yesss omg I’m so excited for Lauren James’ and Laura Taylor Namey’s new books!! I’d almost forgotten about them. Lynn Painter’s new book, especially the sequel is gonna be amazing! Also I have an arc of Farah Heron’s book so I’m pretty psyched about that too 😀
Ahhhh well happy to remind you of them ahah <3 and that's so great about Farah Heron's book! Can't wait to hear what you think of it!! <3
Last Seen Online and Remember Me Tomorrow sound so cool! I’ll have to keep an eye out for them once they’re out. I haven’t been keeping track of releases so I don’t have any anticipated books as such, except maybe The Plated Prisoner’s last book, it’s high time that series ends 😂
Ahh yay! I hope you’ll enjoy them 🙂
Oh I haven’t heard about that series, but it gets so frustrating when these last waaaaay too long 😂
