The release of new books is an exciting day for book lovers all over especially when it’s a book by an author that you love. With the news that the number of books by African American authors was down in 2007 compared to 2008, it is with pleasure that I present to you a list of young adult titles published from March to May.

I have about 30 pages left in Sunrise over Fallujah. I have really enjoyed it. Walter Dean Myers is a must ready for anyone who reads YA. I love that Myers recognizes that women serve in military. When I saw the new It Chicks on the cart the other day I squealed.
I just got through with Getting Even by ReShonda Tate Billingsley, which just came out. Its the fourth in her Good Girlz series and it is sooooo good!
