I’m reading Warcross
I wasn’t gonna.
Mostly because it said something about gaming and I was like “meh can’t relate”
BUT
I’m reading it now and it is everything to me. It’s the Marie Lu type of writing from the Legend Triology which I love and hold near and dear to my heart because the Legend trilogy is the reason I made a booklr.
SO YEAH I LOVE IT BYE
Hi, I'd like two book recommendations if possible! I'm planning to write some book reviews for my blog, the target audience are young adults; what books are hyped right now that it'd be good to start with and will be a fun interesting read? And, is there a must-read Christmas book you can think of? Thank you!
My friend, you may have as many as you like, and probably more. Several of our reader’s advisory bloggers had suggestions for you. Let’s dig in!
For YA novels that live up to the hype:
Chris recommends The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzie Lee as both fun and interesting. She’s got a quick review of it here.
Chris and Beth both recommend One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus as interesting, though they are reticent on the “fun” factor, probably because it’s about, you know, murder (Chris reviewed it here, if you’d like more details).
Amy: The Hate U Give by @writerzambitionz (Angie Thomas). It’s not necessarily a fun title to read, but it’s very timely right now. I have a feeling it will win YALSA awards in January.
Kate (who is not one of our regular readers advisors but IS one of our assistant librarians who overheard what we were looking for and wanted to help) suggests Turtles All the Way Down by John Green, War Cross by @marielubooks, and The Sun is Also a Star by @nicolayoon. She also seconds Amy’s The Hate U Give rec and would like to add that she doesn’t know how fun these all are, but they’re definitely popular and interesting.
For must-read Christmas books:
Chris: A Christmas Carol is probably too obvious, right? Still my all-time favorite book to re-read though.(Robin seconds this rec and adds that once you’ve read it, you simply must listen to @neil-gaiman perform it live using Charles Dickens’ own annotated performance notes.)
Beth: My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories. It’s a collection of short stories (perfect for the busy holiday season) by YA authors. Some of them are so-so but some really shine! Also: I’ll Be Home for Christmas by Roisin Meaney. I have a weakness for anything set in Ireland. Meaney’s tale was a perfect read for December and relaxing during a busy holiday preparation season.
I think… that *might* be enough to get you started… have fun, and feel free to come back for more if you need!
All of the ARCs I so kindly received from publishers at the LATFOB this weekend. Thank you!
Wildcard Update
I will start in about and hour or an hour and a half

Day 4: A first book
“War Cross” by Marie Lu is the the first book in this series and I`m very curious how the story continues! My bookseller squetched when she saw me buy it- she loved the book and that is always a good sign, right? If you liked Ready Player One the chances are high that you will also like this one.
How I spent my weekend - I was mainly focused on some quality self care and getting out of my reading rut, and boy did I do it!! I made some serious progress in WarCross and started My Plain Jane :)
What I picked up from Barnes and Noble yesterday. I’ve never read WarCross and am excited to do so, but We Are The Ants is an amazing book and I’d highly recommend it to anyone
