Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
Simon is awesome! I should get a review written and posted in the next couple weeks.
Lies I Told by Michelle Zink
Mixed bag. Biggest warning is that it’s not a standalone book. I was ready for the story to be over only to find out there’s another book.
Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson
Beautiful, but I probably didn’t appreciate it as much as I should. I’m so used to reading fast that I struggle when I should slow down.
A large percentage of my library holds came in this week. Luckily I have a week of vacation coming up. Plus I bought two on Kindle which I haven’t done in quite awhile.
Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley
From – Library
The synopsis sounds interesting but I’ll totally admit to loving the cover. So pretty.
Tell the Wolves I’m Home by Carol Rifka Brunt
From – Library
Where I heard about It - I don’t remember. I think I saw it on Twitter at some point.
June’s uncle/godfather/best friend dies mysteriously in 1987 of a disease her mother will barely speak of. June meets one of her uncle’s friends who helps her understand more about her uncle, but also changes things she thought she knew about herself.
Under a Painted Sky by Stacey Lee
From – Library
A former female slave, a Chinese immigrant, and the Oregon trail. Sounds like a fascinating friendship and a pre-roads roadtrip. I also read a great review last week that renewed my excitement to read this book.
American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang
From – Library
I’ve already read one graphic novel this year (for the BookRiot Read Harder Challenge). I wasn’t a huge fan, but I don’t think one book is a good enough sample size to make a judgment and American Born Chinese shows up on tons of list for best YA graphic novels.
The Murder Complex by Lindsay Cummings
From – Library
Sounds a little Hunger Games-ish, but possibly more intense. I haven’t read anything in that genre in a while.
Starry Nights by Daisy Whitney
From – Kindle
While I was looking at sale books this one caught my attention. I like fiction books about art.
Inked by Eric Smith
From – Kindle
I’ve been tempted to buy this before and never pulled the trigger. An ebook sale made the decision for me.
