What We're Reading in August

Is it just me or does August feel like downhill to the rest of the year? It's scary, but at least the passing months mean we have new releases to look forward to! Here are some of our most anticipated reads for August, as well as a couple we plan to tick off our TBR.




WA YA Release

This is the race for the last flight home.

Luca is ready to audition for the Australian Ballet School. All it takes to crush his dreams is one missed step . . . and a broken foot.

A complicated friendship.


A roadtrip in a stolen car.


The stories that define us.


And two funny, sharp, adventurous young women who refuse to be held back any longer.


Rosa was never really trying to hurt anyone, no matter what they said in court.


But she's ended up in juvenile jail anyway, living her life through books and wondering why her best mate Asheeka disappeared.


A page-turning novel about a complicated friendship; a road trip through NSW in a stolen car; the stories that define us; and two funny, sharp, adventurous young women who refuse to be held back any longer.





WA Author

Samantha Richardson is a bright, young woman who stumbles upon the vampire world through chance. When she meets Grayson Gramaze, her senses are awakened, and she feels an immediate attraction toward him. Samantha is plunged into a world she never knew existed.


Meanwhile, Danielle Castell, sister of Violette, is dealing with complicated feelings of her own, when she bumps into Christian, her crush from months ago. As Danielle and Christian's attraction for each other is awakened and forbidden, Danielle, Samantha and Violette are swept up in a violent and dangerous battle which will change their lives forever.





Long ago Miren O'Malley's family prospered due to a deal struck with the Mer: safety for their ships in return for a child of each generation. But for many years the family have been unable to keep their side of the bargain and have fallen into decline. Miren's grandmother is determined to restore their glory, even at the price of Miren's freedom.
