Aug 18th: Thunder City by Phillip Reeve (audiobook)

Set in the world of the Mortal Engines series, an unlikely crew of fighters-turned friends must find a way to outwit assassins and take back Motoropolis.

Tamzin Pook is a fighter and what she does best is killing Revenants. Miss Torpenhow, who's determined to find the Mayor's good-for-nothing son and force him to take back the city that is rightfully his, needs someone who's skilled at fighting Revenants. With a daring abduction, Miss Torpenhow and Tamzin Pook's destinies are entwined, and so begin their adventures together...

Content Warnings: violence, death on page

Sept 15th: This is Not a Personal Statement by Tracy Badua (eBook)

At sixteen, Perla is the youngest graduating senior of the hypercompetitive Monte Verde High. Perla knows all the late nights, social isolation, and crushing stress will be worth it when she gets into the college of her (and her parents’) dreams: Delmont University. So, when Perla doesn’t get in, and her meticulously planned future shatters, in a panic, she forges her own acceptance letter. Next thing she knows, she’s heading to Delmont for real, acceptance or not. 

Content Warnings: mention of drug use, alcohol use, racism

Oct 20thChildren of the Night: When Monsters Wake by Victoria Setian & Savanna Ganucheau

Mina Murray is followed by death. An aspiring photojournalist, she has a knack for finding herself in unsettling situations to find interesting shots, like on the deck of the recently crashed boat the Demeter. Intrigued by the ghastly scene, Mina tries to unearth more information about the mystery of the abandoned ship, the captain, and the missing crew . . . but will she be able to figure it out before it’s too late?

Content Warnings: bullying, moderate violence, body horror
