NGL, this one wrecked me. Bring the tissues!
My Sister's Keeper: A Novel (Wsp Readers Club)

Januaries: Stories of Love, Magic & Betrayal
a 5 star read! I think about this book every single day.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
Refreshing after reading formulaic fantasy.
Alchemised
I do really love this series - it's fun!
Fourth Wing Series 3 Book Set
I really resisted this series for a while… I read the first book and thought it was an interesting retelling of Beauty and The Beast, but I wasn't sure I wanted to continue the series… the 2nd book changed everything. One of my favorites!
A Court of Thorns and Roses Paperback Box Set
Middle Grade Fiction
This series was my absolute favorite as a child! Adventure, coming of age, magic… and kick-butt female main character! What more could you ask for? Oh, maybe the next 8 books in the series…
Song of the Lioness Quartet (Boxed Set)
2nd quartet in a magical series. Continuing the theme of strong female characters, coming of age, and magical adventures.
The Immortals Quartet Boxed Set: Wild Magic
3rd quartet in an incredible series. I took these books everywhere with me as a child. Re-read them as an adult and they definitely hold up!
Protector of the Small 4-Book Set by Tamora Pierce
An incredible classic. Highly recommend.
The Giver: Newbery Award Winner (Giver 1)
Making sense of the world around us as kids is tough! This book does a great job of illustrating that, and exploring all of the crazy emotions that can come with growing up.
Absolutely Normal Chaos (Walk Two Moons, 2)
Another classic!
Bloomability: Middle-Grade Story on Friendship & Self-Discovery
Young Adult Fiction
5 stars!
