What’s On My Netgalley Shelf?

I posted about what was on my Netgalley shelf just last month, but of course since then it has grown drastically! I am currently in a little bit of a reading slump which is making me so sad because there are so many books on this shelf that I am excited about. There have been so many incredible books on my Netgalley shelf over the years and it is a place I’ve found so many new authors. Here is what is currently on my Netgalley shelf / TBR!

Cool for the Summer by Dahlia Adler

Lara’s had eyes for exactly one person throughout her three years of high school: Chase Harding. He’s tall, strong, sweet, a football star, and frankly, stupid hot. Oh, and he’s talking to her now. On purpose and everything. Maybe…flirting, even? No, wait, he’s definitely flirting, which is pretty much the sum of everything Lara’s wanted out of life.

Except she’s haunted by a memory. A memory of a confusing, romantic, strangely perfect summer spent with a girl named Jasmine. A memory that becomes a confusing, disorienting present when Jasmine herself walks through the front doors of the school to see Lara and Chase chatting it up in front of the lockers.

Lara has everything she ever wanted: a tight-knit group of friends, a job that borders on cool, and Chase, the boy of her literal dreams. But if she’s finally got the guy, why can’t she stop thinking about the girl?

I’ve been excited for this one for a long time now. A LGBTQ+ romance story that is getting a lot of excellent reviews, so, of course I want to read this one very soon. I feel like the minute that the sun comes out for a week this will be the book that I dive into. I’m looking forward to reading this one and seeing what I think!

The Dead and the Dark by Courtney Gould

Something is wrong in Snakebite, Oregon. Teenagers are disappearing, some turning up dead, the weather isn’t normal, and all fingers point to TV’s most popular ghost hunters who have just come to town.

Logan Ortiz-Woodley, daughter of TV’s ParaSpectors, has never been to Snakebite before. But the moment she and her dads arrive, she starts to get the feeling that there’s more than ghosts plaguing this small town. Ashley Barton’s boyfriend was the first teen to go missing, and she’s felt his ghost following her ever since. Although everyone shuns the Ortiz-Woodleys, the mysterious Logan may be the only person who can help Ashley get some answers.

When Ashley and Logan team up to figure out who—or what—is haunting Snakebite, their investigation reveals truths about the town, their families, and themselves that neither of them are ready for. As the danger intensifies, they realize that their growing feelings for each other could be a light in the darkness

A paranormal/horror mystery book with ghost hunting? Yes please! This book sounds so good and has been getting some excellent reviews. This sounds like it is going to be a real rollercoaster of a book and I am looking forward to something like that at the minute! I’m looking forward to reading this one.

The Boyband Murder Mystery by Ava Eldred

Harri and her best friends worship Half Light – an internationally famous boyband. When frontman Frankie is arrested on suspicion of murdering his oldest friend Evan, Harri feels like her world’s about to fall apart. But quickly she realises that she – and all the other Half Light superfans out there – know and understand much more about these boys than any detective ever could.

Now she’s rallying a fangirl army to prove Frankie’s innocence – and to show the world that you should never underestimate a teenage girl with a passion…

I’ve been looking forward to this one since it was announced a few months back. I love boybands and I love murder mysteries. Combine them both and add in a fandom trying to prove a band members innocence and I am all for reading this book. I am so excited to finally get round to reading this book and I cannot wait to share my thoughts!

Tokyo Ever After by Emiko Jean

Izumi Tanaka has never really felt like she fit in—it isn’t easy being Japanese American in her small, mostly white, northern California town. Raised by a single mother, it’s always been Izumi—or Izzy, because “It’s easier this way”—and her mom against the world. But then Izumi discovers a clue to her previously unknown father’s identity…and he’s none other than the Crown Prince of Japan. Which means outspoken, irreverent Izzy is literally a princess.

In a whirlwind, Izumi travels to Japan to meet the father she never knew and discover the country she always dreamed of. But being a princess isn’t all ball gowns and tiaras. There are conniving cousins, a hungry press, a scowling but handsome bodyguard who just might be her soulmate, and thousands of years of tradition and customs to learn practically overnight.

This book is marketed as a combination of Princess Diaries and Crazy rich Asians and I am intrigued. I love stories with romance, royalty and revelation and this seems to be just that. I cannot wait to read this one very soon. Also, I love this cover and would love to have it framed in my house!

The Road Trip by Beth O’Leary

Addie and her sister are about to embark on an epic road trip to a friend’s wedding in rural Scotland. The playlist is all planned and the snacks are packed.

But, not long after setting off, a car slams into the back of theirs. The driver is none other than Addie’s ex, Dylan, who she’s avoided since their traumatic break-up two years earlier.


Dylan and his best mate are heading to the wedding too, and they’ve totalled their car, so Addie has no choice but to offer them a ride. The car is soon jam-packed full of luggage and secrets, and with four-hundred miles ahead of them, Dylan and Addie can’t avoid confronting the very messy history of their relationship…


Will they make it to the wedding on time? And, more importantly, is this really the end of the road for Addie and Dylan?

I’ve read both of Beth O’Leary’s previous books and throughly enjoyed the. So, the minute that her latest novel was on Netgalley I requested it. A long time later and it is now on my shelf! I am excited to read this one and think it will be the perfect book to read for those of us in the UK as we are released from lockdown!
