Holiday Shopping! My eldest niece is a college student. She loves myth retelling and comic books, so Warbringer is a no-brainer (I‘m surprised she hasn‘t read it already). She also took an African-American lit class last semester and loved the books and requested some that were more contemporary. Tayari Jones is a favorite writer of mine and Silver Spartow is my fav of her books so far. I also loved last year‘s Such a Fun Age!

DimeryRene Fabulous picks! 2y

Holiday Shopping! I have two 14 year old nieces with very different reading tastes. This stack is for the one who loves brooding teen angst in her books. The Outsiders is a favorite and so I picked up Jennifer Matthieu‘s retelling with an all girl cast as well as a couple of my favorites that I think fit her preferences.

vivastory I'm echoing the other comment that you have lucky family! I 💙 book shopping for family members. I am curious about that book as Hinton's The Outsiders is a book that made me fall in love with reading 2y

Well-ReadNeck @vivastory I put it on hold at my library because I loved The Outsiders, too. I didn‘t read the author‘s earlier novel, Moxie, but loved the movie, so I‘m really excited to try this one. 2y

vivastory I didn't realize they adapted Moxie. I might do a reread of Outsiders & follow-up by reading this one. 2y

MeganAnn Oooh I love the Outsiders also. Did a reread of it with my son this summer and he loved it just as much. I‘ll have to keep an eye out for the retelling! 2y

Allkat Loved Dog in the night time. Might re-read sometime. 2y

Holiday Shopping! These are for my 13 year old niece who doesn‘t really love reading long narratives. She prefers non-fiction and likes small bites and visuals.

Holiday shopping! Books for my 9 year old niece. I like to get her recently published books since she‘s the youngest of 3 and has her siblings‘ books to choose from at home. She‘s currently reading the second Harry Potter, so these are on the same reading level. She loves horses and Little Shop of Stories‘ owner says Pony is her favorite book of 2021!!
