Ship Wrecked ~ Olivia Dade
Ship Wrecked ~ Olivia Dade
Rating: 5/5
Ship Wrecked is one of my new favorite romances, and you better believe I will be recommending it to other romance readers. Two people meet and have a one-night-stand, and although they were very passionate and emotionally connected, Maria chooses to leave the hotel room before Peter wakes up. Upon waking, Peter is understandably disappointed, as he felt the night was exceptional and…

Across a Field of Starlight ~ Blue Delliquanti
Across a Field of Starlight ~ Blue Delliquanti
Rating: 5/5
This is a seriously developed graphic novel, a fully realized sci-fi world filled with fascinating characters and great representation for the queer community. Lu and Fassen are our main characters, and through them we uncover what the world is like. They have hugely varying experiences of how their world works. Fassen is stuck in a hierarchical system designed to keep information…

This is How You Lose the Time War ~ Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
This is How You Lose the Time War ~ Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
Rating: 3/5
This is one of the more unique books I’ve ever read. I listened to it on audio, and I’m glad I did. It follows the correspondences between two rivals as they turn from rivals to friends, and then from friends to something more. Bound together by these letters they send each other, they begin by boasting about their superior skills and taunt one another in a strange competition.…

Himawari House ~ Harmony Becker
Himawari House ~ Harmony Becker
Rating: 5/5
This graphic novel is super adorable, the story of Nao, a Japanese American woman returning to Japan for a year to learn her parents’ language and uncover her heritage. She lives in Himawari House, a house where people can rent a room and live in a communal setting, and typically filled with foreigners. Nao has no trouble making friends with Hyejung and Tina, two girls from Korea and…

Dating Dr. Dil ~ Nisha Sharma
Dating Dr. Dil ~ Nisha Sharma
Rating: 3/5
I listened to this on audio, and there were some things to enjoy about the story as well as some drawbacks. I enjoyed Kareena as a character – loved her blunt attitude and her sass. Her sister was really hard for me to get along with. The premise of the story was frustrating, as why would her dad want to sell the house, if she, an adult daughter, was super interested in keeping it? I…

The Adventure Zone: Crystal Kingdom Vol. 4 ~ the McElroys and Carey Pietsch
The Adventure Zone: Crystal Kingdom Vol. 4 ~ the McElroys and Carey Pietsch
Rating: 5/5
Lots of character development, lots to enjoy in this series. At times, The Crystal Kingdom felt a bit more chaotic and, despite containing more information, slower than the others in the series, but overall I still really enjoyed the book.
Starting with Candlenights, a McElroy brothers’ classic holiday event, and quickly evolving into their standard search and recover mission to…

Built to Last ~ Erin Hahn
Built to Last ~ Erin Hahn
Rating: 3/5
While not as good as some of her others, Hahn’s latest book reads more for the adult audience but with the ease of being accessible to her young adult readers. Shelby and Cameron work through their past relationship trauma in this lovers-to acquaintances-to lovers romance by literally working together on a new reality TV show flipping houses. I found this light and entertaining, and…

Clementine: Book 1 ~ Tillie Walden
Clementine: Book 1 ~ Tillie Walden
Rating: 4/5
I haven’t watched any of The Walking Dead, but did play some of the video game and know about this storyline as I am adjacent to many people who loved the series. That being said, I found this graphic novel, which is the continuation of Clementine’s story after The Walking Dead concludes, to be very easy to follow with minimal information about the series as a whole. It is effective…

The Black Flamingo ~ Dean Atta
The Black Flamingo ~ Dean Atta
Rating: 3/5
I listened to this on audio, and as a novel in verse, I somewhat regret that I didn’t read the print book. I find hard copy to be the ideal choice anytime formatting is involved in a story. I struggled to follow the plot of this book while listening to the flowery language. I struggled to connect with Michael through his angst and distress as a teenager. I did appreciate his journey…

Get a Life, Chloe Brown ~ Talia Hibbert
Get a Life, Chloe Brown ~ Talia Hibbert
Rating: 5/5
Hibbert stole my heart with this romance novel featuring a black, fat, nerdy, chronically ill protagonist, one of three sisters in this trilogy of romance novels. Chloe Brown has decided that she needs to do more things, so writes up a bucket list of sorts to help her “Get a Life.” What she doesn’t expect to find, is a connection with her apartment manager, Redford Morgan.
This book…

Illegal ~ Eoin Colfer, Andrew Durkin with Giovanni Rigano
Illegal ~ Eoin Colfer, Andrew Durkin with Giovanni Rigano
Rating: 5/5
I am shocked at how much I enjoyed this graphic novel from Eoin Colfer, an author I read as a kid for his Artemis Fowl series. Completely different from that story, this graphic novel follows 12 year old Ebo as he travels in search of his sister from Niger north to Europe. Ebo is this thoughtful and generous boy, who finds a way to make his journey work even when the odds are stacked…

Dear Girls ~ Ali Wong
Dear Girls ~ Ali Wong
Rating: 4/5
Ali Wong is a famous comedian and actress at this point, with many outstanding performances. Her most widely known is probably Always Be My Maybe. This is her memoir/love letter to her daughters containing all the information, advice, and funny anecdotes she wants them to know when they’re older. Let’s be clear, this is for when they are older. There is a lot of explicit content and…

A Merry Little Meet Cute ~ Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone
A Merry Little Meet Cute ~ Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone
Rating: 5/5
When I first started this book, I was absolutely not in the mood. A cheesy Christmas romance story featuring a Hallmark-esque film where the actors are a porn star and an ex-boy band member? So I took a break. And when I returned, I was so glad that I did. Despite being over 400 pages long, this romance was a breeze, and kept me turning pages well into the night. In fact, once I hit…

Isla to Island ~ Alexis Castellanos
Isla to Island ~ Alexis Castellanos
Rating 5/5
Castellanos has crafted an absolutely stunning graphic novel. Using very few words, Castellanos uses pictures with varying color palettes to convey a huge depth of meaning about one girl’s immigration and mental health experiences. Her use of color is unlike anything I’ve seen in a graphic novel before, although not totally unusual, as we saw a similar effect in Pleasantville and The…

Lark and Kasim Start a Revolution ~ Kacen Callender
Lark and Kasim Start a Revolution ~ Kacen Callender
Rating: 4/5
Lark’s voice is very vibrant throughout these pages. Their voice is young and fresh, naive at times, but so loving and open. I really enjoyed listening in on their thought process, especially as they navigate these modern teenage years. I finally feel removed enough from early High School for Lark’s experience to be completely different from mine. I loved how much queerness was…

Black Girl, Call Home ~ Jasmine Mans
Black Girl, Call Home ~ Jasmine Mans
Rating: 4/5
Black Girl, Call Home is a short and densely packed exploration of black womanhood written in the cadence of spoken word poetry. I listened to this on audio, and Mans’ reading of this is powerful and conveys the importance of what she’s saying with a rhythm that’s hard to resist. At times her reading lulled me to zone out, but then brought me back again with the intensity of the…
