red, white, and royal blue by casey mcquiston

red, white, and royal blue, by casey mcquiston new adult, romance, humor | m | 5 stars nothing will stop alex claremont-diaz from being the way he is. that's a good thing, because the son of the first female president of the united states is really easy to love. he's smart, sarcastic, and prone to occasional bouts of extremely poor judgment - at one point in the story, he even comments that being in way over his head is his comfort zone. by the end of the first chapter, alex'

The Haunting of Maddy Clare, by Simone St. James

The Haunting of Maddy Clare, by Simone St. James Horror, Historical Fiction, Mystery | M | 4 stars As is my wont when it comes to scary stories, I started reading this book just before I meant to go to bed. Instead of going to sleep, I was up for two more hours finishing it and had to leave a lamp on all night. When the book opens, it’s shortly after the end of World War I, and Sarah is trying desperately to make ends meet. When she gets offered a temp job as an assistant to someone

Circle of Magic series, by Tamora Pierce

circle of magic series, by tamora pierce fantasy, young adult | t | 4.5 stars tamora pierce has written more than thirty books. i’ve read almost all of them, and while changing standards for ya books has meant that many of her more recent books are longer and more detailed (including the sequel series to this one), this unassuming little series continues to be one of her strongest pieces of work. the four books - sandry's book, tris's book, daja's book, and briar's book - revolve

graceling, by kristin cashore

graceling, by kristin cashore fantasy, young adult | t | 4.5 stars heterochromia is the trademark of a graceling - someone born with a supernatural talent. some of those talents simply elevate fairly normal activities - fighting or swimming, for example. others defy logical comprehension entirely - mind reading is particularly noted as something that the main character, katsa, is deeply uncomfortable with. regardless of the talent, gracelings are both very rare and somewhat stigmatized

a ring of endless light, by madeleine l'engle

a ring of endless light, by madeleine l’engle young adult, science fiction, coming of age | t | 5 stars this has been one of my favorite books for about as long as i can remember. it’s ostensibly a coming of age story for young adults, but that’s not quite an accurate characterization of it - pretty much anyone of any age from any background could read a ring of endless light and take something meaningful away from it, because it explores spirituality and the human experience in a way
