The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi [3 stars]: I don't know how to feel about this excerpt or how it read. Parts of it were interesting (and reminded me of how Flame in the Mist started), but not all of it captured my attention. It took me a bit to get through it.

Pay Attention, Carter Jones by Gary D. Schmidt [4 stars]: Interesting middle grade excerpt. Really intrigued to find out what happens! Loved Carter's perspective. I think my kids would enjoy this one too.

Ignite the Stars by Maura Milan [5 stars]: Another phenomenal scifi book to look forward to. This one is a debut novel and is very different than the space opera I just read an excerpt from. Added to TBR

A Spark of White by Sangu Mandanna [5 stars]: A space opera with roots in Indian stories that grabbed me from the very start and cliffhangered me hard at the end of the excerpt.

That's Not What Happened by Kody Keplinger [5 stars]: Just enough to get me hooked and now I have to wait until August at the very least. This one wasn't even on my radar.

The Similars by Rebecca Hoover [3 stars]: This has potential but it seemed extremely juvenile and trope-y right out of the gate.
