New Arrivals Amelia, If Only by Becky Albertalli Amelia Applebaum isn’t in love with Walter Holland. He’s just her favorite moderately famous, chaotically bisexual YouTuber—who she maybe, accidentally, invited to prom. (It’s fine. Delete the post, and it never happened.) Her friends say she’s a little parasocially obsessed, but Amelia’s convinced that if she could just meet him in person, sparks would fly. So when Walter announces a meet and greet a few hours away, Amelia hatches a plan: one last road trip before graduation, with her best friends in tow—including newly single, guitar-strumming, romance-skeptic Natalie. Amelia’s sure it’ll be perfect. What she doesn’t expect? The butterflies in her stomach might not be for Walter at all. Let Them Stare by Jonathan Van Ness Sully is ready to ditch Hearst, Pennsylvania. With a fashion internship lined up and their beloved car sold to Bread—sorry, Brad—the town’s most boring (and maybe only other) gay kid, Sully’s set to swap small-town suffocation for big-city freedom. But when the internship falls through, they’re stuck—no car, no cash, and no way out. Desperate, Sully finds refuge at their favorite thrift store, where they stumble on a vintage bag so iconic it belongs in the MET. But authenticating it comes with a catch: the ghost of Rufus, a 1950s drag performer with no memory of how he died, is now haunting Sully’s bedroom. With Rufus tagging along and Brad behind the wheel, Sully sets out to uncover the truth—and maybe, just maybe, discovers that Hearst has more to offer than they ever expected. Titan of the Stars by E. K. Johnston Celeste knows every inch of this ship. She's proud of her work as apprentice engineer. And as the maiden voyage of the Titan launches, she's optimistic for the promises of this new journey from Earth to Mars — this new life. Dominic arrives at his suite where his valet is busy unpacking his things. His chest is tight, already feeling anxious inside his dad's precious new ship.

Among Ghosts by Rachel Hartman A few things to know about the town of St. Muckle' It's too out-of-the-way to interest greedy lords, and too damp and muddy for marauding dragons to burn.

A tragic accident is quickly followed by murder, a deadly plague, and a mercenary dragon.  Charl manages to escape to an abandoned abbey outside of town, but finds no safety within those ruined walls. A treacherous nun, a chorus of murdered girls, and the fearsome Battle Bishop await, ready to ensnare him in a complex web of history, magic, and fate.
