From my ARC list for January 14th, 2020:
Sounds like it could be a good one. A little bit of The Matrix type of story?
Here is the blurb from Goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old Lake spends her days searching a strange, post-apocalyptic landscape for people who have forgotten one very important thing: this isn’t reality. Everyone she meets is a passenger aboard a ship that’s been orbiting Earth since a nuclear event. The simulation that was supposed to prepare them all for life after the apocalypse has trapped their minds in a shared virtual reality and their bodies in stasis chambers.
No one can get off the ship until all of the passengers are out of the sim, and no one can get out of the sim unless they believe it's a simulation. It's up to Lake to help them remember.
When Lake reveals the truth to a fellow passenger, seventeen-year-old Taren, he joins her mission to find everyone, persuade them that they’ve forgotten reality, and wake them up. But time’s running out before the simulation completely deconstructs, and soon Taren’s deciding who’s worth saving and who must be sacrificed for the greater good. Now, Lake has no choice but to pit herself against Taren in a race to find the secret heart of the sim, where something waits that will either save them or destroy them all.

I got an ARC of this at AASL in November, but don't know how soon I'll get around to reading it.
Here is the blurb from Goodreads:
Echoes Between Us is bestselling author Katie McGarry’s breakout teen contemporary novel about a girl with everything to lose and the boy who will do anything to save her.
Veronica sees ghosts. More specifically, her mother's ghost. The afterimages of blinding migraines caused by the brain tumor that keeps her on the fringes and consumes her whole life haunt her, even as she wonders if it's something more...
Golden boy Sawyer is handsome and popular, a state champion swimmer, but his adrenaline addiction draws him to Veronica.
A girl with nothing to live for and a boy with everything to lose--can they conquer their demons together?

I'll be reading this one and reviewing it next week, I think on Thursday the 16th.
Here is the blurb from Goodreads:
Camryn has been dating Marc FOREVER—since freshman year! She dropped out of volleyball to go to all his games, switched her schedule around to be in his favorite class, and has been busting her butt to get into Columbia so they can go to the same college. So when Marc suddenly, and very publically, breaks up with her a week into their senior year so that he can date the new transfer student, she’s absolutely devastated.
But why be sad, when you can get even? Inspired by her favorite movies, Camryn decides that the best revenge is a Senior Year well lived, starring a boy who is ever so much better than her ex. With a little help from her friends, Cam is going to have the Best. Senior. Year. Ever.
Or else!

Haven't heard a lot of buzz about this one, but it sounds like it could be good from the synopsis.
Here is the blurb from Goodreads:
The story of an
African-American girl becoming a woman on her own terms against the
backdrop of widespread social change in the early 1900s America. As a
daughter of an upper class African American family in Washington D.C.,
Savannah is lucky. Feeling suffocated by the structure of society,
Savannah meets a working-class girl named Nell who introduces her to the
suffragette and socialist movements, inspiring her to fight for change.
Final Thoughts:
Definitely more good books coming out this year. Have you read any of these yet? Are they on your TBR? And hey, while you're here, you should go try to win some of my ARCs from Cleaning Up My TBR Post HERE. The US only giveaway is open till Friday at midnight.
Thanks, as always, for sharing. I don't think I've heard anything about Saving Savannah.
