Hola, Little anchors!
Bienvenidxs una entrada más a Marta's Bookshelf.
Hoy, para empezar bien el año, vamos a hablar de los libros publicados en 2018 que más llaman mi atención. Os dejo el link a sus perfiles de Goodreads, las portadas, fechas de publicación y sinopsis.
1. Save the Date de Morgan Matson [05/06/2018] He leído casi todos los títulos de esta autora y no puedo quejarme. Tengo ganas de leer más de Morgan, pues sus historias siempre me conquistan y creo que están hechas que da gusto.
Charlie Grant’s older sister is getting married this weekend at their family home, and Charlie can’t wait—for the first time in years, all four of her older siblings will be under one roof. Charlie is desperate for one last perfect weekend, before the house is sold and everything changes. The house will be filled with jokes and games and laughs again. Making decisions about things like what college to attend and reuniting with longstanding crush Jesse Foster—all that can wait. She wants to focus on making the weekend perfect.
The only problem? The weekend is shaping up to be an absolute disaster.
There’s the unexpected dog with a penchant for howling, house alarm that won’t stop going off, and a papergirl with a grudge.
There are the relatives who aren’t speaking, the (awful) girl her favorite brother brought home unannounced, and a missing tuxedo.
Not to mention the neighbor who seems to be bent on sabotage and a storm that is bent on drenching everything. The justice of the peace is missing. The band will only play covers. The guests are all crazy. And the wedding planner’s nephew is unexpectedly, distractingly…cute.
Over the course of three ridiculously chaotic days, Charlie will learn more than she ever expected about the family she thought she knew by heart. And she’ll realize that sometimes, trying to keep everything like it was in the past means missing out on the future.

2. Starry Eyes de Jenn Bennett. [03/04/2018] Esta es una autora que quise leer este año ("Alex Approximately") pero acabé por no hacerlo. Sigo con la intención de intentarlo en algún momento, pero a la vista de la nueva novela que va a publicar el año que viene (la pintaza que tiene es importante), le daré una oportunidad.
In this romantic dramedy from the author of Alex, Approximately, a teen girl’s way-too-ordinary life is driven off the beaten path when she’s abandoned in the wilderness with her worst adversary—the boy who broke her heart.
Ever since last year’s homecoming dance, best friends-turned-best enemies Zorie and Lennon have made an art of avoiding each other. It doesn’t hurt that their families are the modern day, Californian version of the Montagues and Capulets.
But when a group camping trip goes south, Zorie and Lennon find themselves stranded in the wilderness. Alone. Together.
What could go wrong?
With no one but each other for company, Zorie and Lennon have no choice but to hash out their issues via witty jabs and insults as they try to make their way to safety. But fighting each other while also fighting off the forces of nature makes getting out of the woods in one piece less and less likely.
And as the two travel deeper into Northern California’s rugged backcountry, secrets and hidden feelings surface. But can Zorie and Lennon’s rekindled connection survive out in the real world? Or was it just a result of the fresh forest air and the magic of the twinkling stars?

3. What If It's Us de Becky Albertally y Adam Silvera.[02/10/2018] Dos de los autores mejor comentados hoy en día y dos autores a los que todavía no he probado. Entre que les tengo ganas a ellos y que la sinopsis de su nueva novela tiene una pinta impresionante, ¡me lo apunto!
*TODAVÍA NO HAY PORTADA OFICIAL. CUANDO LA HAYA, LA AÑADIRÉ Y PUBLICARÉ EN RRSS*
What If It’s Us opens as Arthur and Ben meet at the post office as Ben is shipping his ex-boyfriend’s things back to him. They subsequently endure the frustration of knowing there was a missed connection, before the universe pushes them back together again in a series of failed “first” dates.
4. Final Draft de Riley Redgate . [12/06/2018] Una autora que disfruté mucho en su última creación ("Noteworthy") y que, por lo tanto, me anima a leer más de ella.
The only sort of risk 18-year-old Laila Piedra enjoys is the peril she writes for the characters in her stories: epic sci-fi worlds full of quests, forbidden love, and robots. Her creative writing teacher has always told her she has a special talent. But three months before her graduation, he's suddenly replaced—by Nadiya Nazarenko, a Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist who is sadistically critical and perpetually unimpressed.
At first, Nazarenko’s eccentric assignments seem absurd. But before long, Laila grows obsessed with gaining the woman’s approval. Soon Laila is pushing herself far from her comfort zone, discovering the psychedelic highs and perilous lows of nightlife, temporary flings, and instability. Dr. Nazarenko has led Laila to believe that she must choose between perfection and sanity—but rejecting her all-powerful mentor may be the only way for Laila to thrive.

5. Valley Girls de Sarah Nicole Lemon. [08/05/2018] Una novela ambientada en Yosemite. ¿Algún motivo más para leerla? Es una novela veraniega que habla de escaladas, primeros amores y un poco de la vida de la protagonista en general.
When 17-year-old Rilla is busted for partying 24 hours into arriving in Yosemite National Park to live with her park ranger sister, it’s a come-to-Jesus moment.
Determined to make up for her screw-up and create a stable new home for herself, Rilla charms her way into a tight-knit group of climbers. But Rilla can’t help but be seduced by experiences she couldn’t have imagined back home. She sets her sights on climbing El Capitan, one of the most challenging routes in Yosemite, and her summer becomes one harrowing and ecstatic experience after another: first climb, first fall two thousand feet in the air, first love. But becoming the person Rilla feels she was meant to be jeopardizes the reasons why she came to Yosemite—a bright new future and a second chance at sisterhood. When her family and her future are at odds, what will Rilla choose?
