So, I don’t know much about Teen Titans, but Raven seems cool. (Also this is a graphic novel, so, extra cool.) Seventeen-year-old Raven and her foster mom were in a horrific car crash, leaving Raven’s mother dead, and Raven with no memories of who she is. Raven moves in with her foster moms’ sister andContinue reading “Teen Titans: Raven by Kami Garcia”

October 20th is the National Day of Writing (I’m over here trying to figure out why it’s not called ‘National Writing Day’)! If you’re an author (like me!) hopefully this makes you happy! Happy National Day of Writing! P.S. Sorry for the short post!

Harley Quinn is my favorite supervillain/anti-hero. And this may be one of my favorite YA books. Harleen can not wait to go to college and get away from her abusive dad. But then she sees how women are treated in STEM. It’s horrible. Then she’s assaulted. So she and her friend Bernice start a group.Continue reading “Harley Quinn: Reckoning by Rachael Allen”

This is amazing! The same author also wrote the Valkyrie series and the Pegasus series, both of which are super great. Riley and her cousin Alfie hate each other. To make matters worse, they’re stuck on a boat with Alfie’s mom and Riley’s dad. But then their boat is capsized by a leviathan! Riley andContinue reading “Escape From Atlantis by Kate O’Hearn”

I love this! It’s a graphic novel. Morgan lives on an island with her mom and little brother. But she has a secret. She can’t wait to get away. And that she likes girls. One day, a mysterious girl saves Morgan from drowning. Morgan, thinking it’s a near-death hallucination, kisses the girl. The next day,Continue reading “The Girl From The Sea by Molly Knox Ostertag”

Hey everyone! Guess what. It’s Banned Books Week! This event, that celebrates everyone’s right to read, stretches from September 18th to September 24th. The theme this year is… “Books unite us. Censorship divides us.” You might not know, but probably anyone who reads books, has probably read at least one banned book. Probably more. OverContinue reading “Banned Books Week”

First off, I got some major Maze Runner and Hunger Games vibes. Set in the future, in a dystopian version of Chicago, there are five factions: Amity, who value kindness above all else; Candor, who are always truthful; Erudite, who constantly seek knowledge; Abnegation, who are selfless to a fault; and Dauntless, who are constantlyContinue reading “Divergent by Veronica Roth”

I love this, though I might be biased, considering the author is one of my best friends! The main character has the same name as the author, by the way. One day, Aria’s family vanishes. Just disappears. She goes to her friend Samantha for help and they discover Mythaya, a mythical land full of dragons,Continue reading “Mythaya: The First Adventure by Aria Meyers”

I loved this awesome super hero book! It’s set in the near-future. Onyeka is used to people criticizing her hair. But one day when her and her best friend Cheyenne are swimming, Cheyenne almost drowns. But Onyeka’s hair saves her. Her hair. When Onyeka’s mom finds out about her hair, she packs everything up, andContinue reading “Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun by Tọlá Okogwu”

I loved it, even though it started out a little slow. This is set several years after the end of Disneys’ Brave. You don’t have to have watched the movie to understand this book, though. Merida has just returned from a journey across Scotland, and everything seems the same. One night, she ventures out intoContinue reading “Bravely by Maggie Stiefvater”
