I totally see why THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD won the National Book Award. Just a phenomenal and important read. (Yes we call a lot of books important but books that may make us uncomfortable sometimes are important!)

Of Fire and Stars | Audrey Coulthurst

Ahhh my pre-order arrived early! I read an ARC of this one over the summer and it was amazing. The premise is a princess with hidden magic falls in love with the sister of her betrothed! If that sounds right up your alley, this YA debut does have a pretty cool pre-order campaign going on right now for US/CAN readers! ✨🔥🌈

BookNerdBritt I hope this doesn't sound weird or creepy, but I first heard about this book from your podcast! So excited to read it! 7y
Shellyzev @BookNerdBritt no that's not weird at all!! I'm so happy someone actually listened to it haha ✨ 7y

The Ship Beyond Time | Heidi Heilig

Hey y'all so as you probably noticed (or not) that I haven't been updating a lot here and it's because I've hit a reading slump (and Steven Universe is really addictive). I'm trying to get back into reading and I was approved for some of the HarperCollins 2017 releases so I'm jumping right into THE SHIP BEYOND TIME, sequel to THE GIRL FROM EVERYWHERE. What are you all reading?

This short story collection is just phenomenal! I haven't read any of Oyeyemi's novels prior to this one but now I want to pick them all up! I loved how some of the stories brought back major characters from other stories in small ways, it made the novel seem very connected and it worked brilliantly. I highly recommend it!

Goldie Vance is one of my favourite ongoing series right now! The trade volume released last week and I couldn't resist adding it to my collection. It's from the same publisher that releases Lumberjanes and The Backstagers (two of my favourite series) so it's no surprise that I love this too!

A beautiful book of poetry, I can definitely see why it made a bestseller list so many times. Even if you don't like poetry, I think this is truly a wonderful piece of work that everyone can enjoy.

Last Seen Leaving | Caleb Roehrig

This debut YA thriller is awesome, a bit slow to develop but ultimately twisty and shocking. The characters are so easy to relate to and it's not hard to get invested. This would make a good pick for a book club or a buddy read, there are so many things to discuss and flail about. Look for this in-stores on October 4th!

The Magicians: A Novel | Lev Grossman

Reading this for class and I'm actually hating it 🙈 I've heard the TV show was good though so I'm kinda curious if maybe the adaptation will be better than the book for once?

InLibrisVeritas I hated it too. I didn't give the show I chance because the book frustrated me so much😅 8y

Lily and Dunkin | Donna Gephart

Lily and Dunkin is a wonderful middle-grade novel about two friends, one who's transgender and the other who has bipolar disorder. It's clear that the author did her research well and considerately. I may have teared up a few times, from happiness and sadness. Highly recommend!

When I heard about a collaboration between two of my favourite authors (David Levithan! Nina LaCour!), I knew I would love this book. I was not wrong. YOU KNOW ME WELL is a phenomenal novel about friendship and first love that takes place during San Francisco's pride week. I highly recommend it.

I loved Federle's MG series and his YA debut did not disappoint! The novel stars Quinn, a wannabe screenplay writer mourning the death of his older sister. Funny, heartbreaking but ultimately hopeful, THE GREAT AMERICAN WHATEVER is not one to miss!

As usual with A.S King books, you're in for a really weird treat. I personally love magic realism and the strange so her books are always a hit for me. If you do pick this one up, try not to be too skeptical.
