An Acre of Fools by Aden James but waiting for delivery is excruciating. I know, I exaggerate. However, this novel promises to be intense from start to finish. A little girl born with a debilitating cancer leaves a nasty scar on her family's faith. When she starts doing drugs as a teenager, will the family break or can they find a way out of the darkness?

Tessarae: A Memoir of Two Summers by Mathias B Freese

 

Freese is writer of beautiful prose and ironic mischief. I've reviewed one of his books before and this one just came out so of course I want to get my hands on it. Encompassing distance and time and friends and family this book promises to share a deep understanding with its readers.

Breakable by Tammara Webber

After reading Easy in one fell swoop I, sadly, went to sell it back to the used book store only to find that there was another one! And it sounds like it will be from Lucas' point of view. I've been looking forward to this retelling of the original story for a few weeks now. I'm interested to see what Lucas saw when Jackie wasn't there or wasn't looking.
