We continue to have a significant number of YA books hitting shelves this week, as has been the case over the last month or so. With these big release dates comes the reality that not every book can get highlighted in these weekly roundups, but even if not highlighted, you’ll get to know the titles and authors of as many releases as possible. Picking and choosing which to call out is challenging because they all sound great. Consider these big weeks your opportunity to build that TBR in anticipation of what will be a quieter end of fall and start of winter publishing season.

This week, there are great new books for fans of just about any genre. Whether you’re looking for something a little bit scary, a little bit (or a whole lot!) romantic, or something fantastical, you’re going to find a book or two here to satisfy that reading desire. You’ll also find a book in translation–something especially rare in 2025, even compared to the last few years–as well as plenty of thrillers, mysteries, and more.

Here’s to hitting the middle of October and the middle of a busy YA publishing period.

Win a shiny library cart for your home! Let the good reads roll on its durable build and lockable wheels. Easily roll your current reads, favorite literary journals, or your entire TBR list from room to room.

Butterfly Heart by Moa Backe Åstot, translated by Agnes Broomé Vilda has grown up knowing that her mother’s side of the family is Sámi and her father’s, Swedith. It’s never been a big deal to her, but this summer, she’s hoping she can really connect with her Indigenous ancestry. One part of that will be learning the Sámi language from her grandfather, Áddjá. But when Áddjá dies of a heart attack, Vilda is wracked with grief. She’s lost a loved one and she’s lost one of the key connections to her own heritage. She’s not sure how to process the loss, and it’s made more complicated as she meets an older boy at her grandfather’s funeral for whom she’s discovering feelings.
