These books have to be read together Book 1, Binding 13, ends on a huge cliffhanger. The story was fabulous and the characters were awesome. It is YA but didn't read as YA. My favorite read this year. Highly recommend.
Happy Tuesday! Here are today's questions. Everyone is welcome to play. Enjoy and have a fabulous day!
1️⃣ I recently read my first book by Chloe Walsh. I was blown away by the quality of the prose. Also, had wonderful character development and a great plot. Highly recommend.
2️⃣ Tagged. By far, my favorite book of this year.

pickWow, that was a LOT. So much happened and our MCs went through so much! I really enjoyed the depth Walsh brought to the characters, and the different types of relationships that were explored. Honestly, Johnny and Gibs‘ friendship is probably my favourite thing about these books, with all its charming, slightly crazed intensity. This was a great duology and I would definitely read more from this author.
pickWhat a chonker omg. But it didn‘t feel long — I got sucked right in to the angst and the longing and the confused teen silliness. This book is kept from absolute nonsense by a strong current of abuse (not between MCs) and its fallout, the search for family and a place to belong. It‘s a very engaging read, with a busy plot, lots of action, and a good quick pace. FMC Shannon whines maybe a bit too much, but it‘s not that bad. Gone right into book 2!
pickCaught up with the series. Compelling, heartbreaking, hilarious. These poor kids, they have a lot to work through but I can‘t help cheering them on. Next book in the series is our May 27 and someone may have ordered the ebook. I got all the others from the library but I‘m just not waiting :)
Hard to believe we are 1/4 of the way through 2025! 🤯
Unless something really hits me over the head, Binding 13 will be my top pick for the first half of the year. I still think about that story. Still two months to go, so it could happen. We'll see what May has to bring.

pickIn the last couple of weeks, I blew through this series. Pretty tough in parts, it is set in Ireland and follows young adults dealing with pretty difficult situations, physical and mental abuse in the home, bullying, and the financial challenges that existed in the late 2000s. Walsh writes with an intensity that kept me reading, even though most of these are 600 pages or more. Waiting in the next one to become available at my library :)
