Spring has sprung, and whether or not you’re able to spend time reading outside, hopefully you’re at least getting some fresh air through open windows as you sink into a good book.

It’s a very big paperback release week in the YA world, which you’ll soon see below. Some of them are paperbacks that are following hardcover releases, while others are paperback originals–something that I continue to think we need more of, as they offer the same kind of direct appeal to teen readers that books which release simultaneously in hardcover and paperback do.

There’s a really nice range of genres and voices represented this week, too. We’ve got a take on Chinese folklore, a house haunted by missing teens, inventions that conjure demons, and so much more.
