I always enjoy a sampler as they get me excited about upcoming releases. I think my favourites were Blood Moon and All Our Hidden Gifts.

Amazing selection of upcoming titles which has led to my TBR being expanded massively! So can't wait for some of the treasures included in this to be released.

I love samplers! Thanks a lot for this. Great way to get a taste of some books and get an idea of what to request next.

I already have or have pre-ordered a number of the books from this sampler so did not read those to avoid any potential spoilers. For those I didn't read:

Blood Moon: I loved this sampler, the narrator is brilliant, the mulitmedia (texts etc) is a thing I really enjoy in books, and I am defintiely intrigued. I'm a little concerned that this might be one of those YA books that I am very definitely too old for though.

Every Little Piece of My Heart: I already love Sophie and I need her to be okay. I love a friendship story, and this one has a big mystery in the sampler that left me wanting more. Immediately.

Challenger Deep: The sampler for this is absolutely bonkers, in a good way. It's a confusing start, but one that left me wanting to know more and work out what is going on. I loved the Scythe series, so I have high hopes for this one.

The Reckless Afterlife of Harriet Stoker: I mean, I knew what was going to happen in that sampler, but I still wasn't ready for it. I love Lauren's writing, it's always so emotive and this was no exception. I am already hooked on this.

The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea: I am on the fence with this one. Historical fiction is not usually my jam, and parts of the sampler didn't grip me, but there's a romance I am all here for, a tradition of shipping your daughters off to marriage with their caskets in tow, and a badass pirate. I'm intrigued, but I'm not sold.

This was a great sampler of books and I was so pleased to have a sampler even though YALC was not going ahead as normal. Thank you for this.

So excited for so many of these!! I loved Blood Moon a lot (STEM female character, yay!). It's going to be a strong year in 2020 for YA!

Samples of a few of the upcoming YA books from Walker. Doesn't quite make up for missing YALC but better than nothing!

I'm so excited for all of these books, they sound so good! I'm so glad they made these samplers available!

A great selection of samplers from Walker Books from YALC weekend. I look forward to reading the novels in their entirety.

An amazing selection of upcoming YA releases. I especially loved the samples of Blood Moon, Every Little Piece of My Heart and Challenger Deep. All books I am interested in purchasing.

Loved this sampler from Walker to celebrate #athomeYALC! I am so excited about all the books that are coming out - I have already read Blood Moon and absolutely loved it!

Neal Shusterman’s Challenger Deep is a book I’m particularly looking forward to after them run Scythe series and terrifying, important Dry, I have a feeling this book will stay with me too!
Blood Moon by Lucy Cuthew is another I’ve really been looking forward to, periods are something we need to normalise and I support anything that helps make life even a little easier for others.

Amazing selection can’t wait to read these, a lot to look forward on the horizon
