New Releases
We've got four new YA books on our radar this week! Check out what's on deck for launch this Tuesday:
The Lotus Flower Champion by Pintip Dunn and Love Dunn
It looks like paradise…only it’s not. This was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime family trip to Thailand. One last wish for my dying mama. Instead, we’re stranded on a lush, stunning island with ten strangers—held captive as Thai mythology unfolds around us…and within us.
Now we’re being tested. We’re expected to face our greatest fears—and possible deaths—in hopes of awakening some kind of dormant gift…or curse. One by one, we’re transforming, echoing the strange and sometimes wondrous abilities found in Thai folktales. But my mama has only days to live, my papa is missing, and I’m forced to trust a group of strangers…including our evasive, dark-eyed tour guide, who resembles a minor god. Toss me in the ocean and feed me to the naga now.
Only I’m no hero. My days are managed by numbers and the compulsions that used to keep me safe. I have to prove how far I can go. To survive. To protect my family. And to find a way off this perilous island where everything is a lie…including reality.
Carry My Secret to Your Grave (Murder, She Wrote #2) by Stephanie Kuehn
Small town murders. Big time thrills. The second installment in the suspenseful, modern update of the classic mystery TV series. Perfect for fans of One of Us Is Lying, Sadie, and Gossip Girl.
“Someone knows where you live. And whoever they are, they want you to know… you’re next.” Bea Fletcher never met a cold case she didn’t want to solve. So when she finds herself staying with family near Lake Paloma, she’s torn. Sure, she’s not thrilled to be bunking with her moody, taciturn uncle and his wife while her father’s out of town. Being away from Cabot Cove means less time for Bea to work on her true crime blog, visit her great-aunt Jessica, and spend time with new friends Leisl, Leif, and Carlos and the mysterious underground treasure hunting game they’ve been playing.
But Lake Paloma has mysteries of its own, including the unsolved drowning of teenaged Eden Vicente the year before. And when Bea starts to ask questions about Eden’s death, the answers lead her closer to home than she ever imagined. If Bea isn’t careful, she could be the next girl to end up at the bottom of the lake.
What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez
Bolivian-Argentinian Inez Olivera belongs to the glittering upper society of nineteenth century Buenos Aires, and like the rest of the world, the town is steeped in old world magic that’s been largely left behind or forgotten. Inez has everything a girl might want, except for the one thing she yearns the most: her globetrotting parents—who frequently leave her behind.
When she receives word of their tragic deaths, Inez inherits their massive fortune and a mysterious guardian, an archeologist in partnership with his Egyptian brother-in-law. Yearning for answers, Inez sails to Cairo, bringing her sketch pads and an ancient golden ring her father sent to her for safekeeping before he died. But upon her arrival, the old world magic tethered to the ring pulls her down a path where she soon discovers there’s more to her parent’s disappearance than what her guardian led her to believe.
With her guardian’s infuriatingly handsome assistant thwarting her at every turn, Inez must rely on ancient magic to uncover the truth about her parent’s disappearance—or risk becoming a pawn in a larger game that will kill her.
The Space Between Here and Now by Sarah Suk
Seventeen-year-old Aimee Roh has Sensory Time Warp Syndrome, a rare condition that causes her to time travel to a moment in her life when she smells something linked to that memory. Her dad is convinced she’ll simply grow out of it if she tries hard enough, but Aimee’s fear of vanishing at random has kept her from living a normal life.
When Aimee disappears for nine hours into a memory of her estranged mom–a moment Aimee has never remembered before–she becomes distraught. Not only was this her longest disappearance yet, but the memory doesn’t match up with the story of how her mom left–at least, not the version she’s always heard from her dad.
Desperate for answers, Aimee travels to Korea, where she unravels the mystery of her memories, the truth about her mother, and the reason she keeps returning to certain moments in her life. Along the way, she realizes she’ll need to reconcile her past in order to save her present.

Read the YWP Novel Excerpt Contest Grand Prize Winner (13 and Under Age Group)!
In February, we challenged you to submit a 400-word excerpt from your NaNoWriMo novels. From over 650 fantastic entries, we chose two Grand Prize Winners and four Runners-Ups. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we did! (For more excerpts, check out this forum thread.)
A Kingdom of Embers and Ash by Hannah G.
I slip there unnoticed, and sure enough, Willow slumps against the fence. Her arm is through the hole, beads of blood glinting on the metal where it bit into her skin. She clutches at the twisted metal as though it is a portal to a better place.
And maybe... maybe it is.
But maybe it isn’t. And that’s what’s kept us from running for all these years.
"Hey, Wil," I whisper, sliding to the ground beside my sister, my anger forgotten, the pain in my cheek and my heart pushed into a place where I can’t feel it. My sister… she's more important than any of that, than anything. "What's going on?"
Willow turns to me suddenly, her face red and blotchy, streaked with tears. Her eyes are like that of a wild animal: cornered and desperate and terrified. It scares me.
"Sage, I can't!” she wails. “I can't stop it! I can't do it! I can't not do it!" Her voice is pitched with distress, a hysterical edge to it that scares me.
I look at her with concern creasing my brow, coating my voice. "Willow?"
But suddenly, it isn't Willow I'm looking at. It’s a fox, white as the first snow of winter, with oddly human, intelligent, pleading eyes.
Willow's eyes.
I freeze in shock, staring at the fox that is Willow.
At Willow, who is a fox.
At my whole life, my whole world, being upended before my eyes.
And then — my sister is back.
I can't stop the stories we've been told about the creatures outside the fence, magical and evil, from flashing through my mind. The stories that have always been applied to us. And even as I look at Willow, my Willow, who I have known and loved all my life, a small part of me can't help but wonder if they’re true, if we are what they say we are.
Witches. Demons. Monsters.
But then, with a twist of revulsion aimed at myself, at the thing that just went through my mind, at Oke Darm and everyone living in it for conditioning me to think that way, I banish the unfaithful thought from my head. Because this is Willow, my Willow–no matter what form she takes.
But I know I'm the only one who will see it that way.
"Wil," I whisper. "Willow... We have to run. Now."
Guest author judge Sarah Suk had this to say about A Kingdom of Embers and Ash:
"In just this short passage, I was able to get a sense of the world, the stakes, and the bond between the characters in a way that made me instantly root for them (protect them at all costs!). Impressively told with a voice that shines."
Hannah Gumpert is in 8th grade, and admittedly spends way too much time absorbed in a book. When she isn’t reading, you can usually find her with her family, at a coffee shop with her friends, or writing and/or imagining her latest story, completely deaf to the world because she's living in another. Hannah wants to be a writer when she grows up — but she's not going to wait around until then.

After failing to do so for the last two years, I’ve gone through my books-read for the year & compiled a list of my favourite reads!
While doing this I also discovered that I’d missed putting four entire books on my master list that all should have been in my best-of list, so here’s the final top 22 (in no particular order)…
Matrix - Lauren Groff
My Dark Vanessa - Kate Elizabeth Russell
Echo - Thomas Olde Heuvelt
The Kingdoms - Natasha Pulley
The Waiting - Keum Suk Gendry-Kim
Nightbitch - Rachel Yoder
The Glass Hotel - Emily St John Mandel
These Ghosts Are Family - Maisy Card
Greenwood - Michael Christie
Ghost Wall - Sarah Moss
A Master of Djinn - P. Djèli Clark
What is Home, Mum? - Sabba Khan
The Women of Troy - Pat Barker
The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina - Zoraida Córdova
Fevered Star - Rebecca Roanhorse
Blackfish City - Sam J. Miller
Just Like Home - Sarah Gailey
The Book of Form & Emptiness - Ruth Ozeki
A Prayer for the Crown-Shy - Becky Chambers
The Galaxy, And the Ground Within - Becky Chambers
Stormsong - C.L. Polk
Soulstar - C.L. Polk
If you want to look at all the books I read/re-read this year, you can see my entire messy googledoc list here!
Turns out that being absolutely terrible at managing a library holds list + feeling obliged to finish almost all the books I take out = reading the most I've ever read in a year (Total was also helped by a visit to the used bookstore in the town closest to my cottage + buying a huge stack of British mystery novels to devour during my time up north)??
Also, I'm always looking for book recommendations! What were your favourite reads of 2022? Are there exciting books you know are coming out in 2023/any books that you've got on your list for the new year (new or old pubs)? Please tell me them!!
*illustration at the top there is by me, from the book that I finished illustrating back in the summer...hopefully I'll have an idea of when that's coming out soon!
#booklist#books 2022#things i read#top...22?#when you read almost 90 books in a year it's impossible to narrow it down to a top 10 turns out#artblog#not actually artblog but i want it in that tag for reasons

2, 10, 12, and 17 for the book asks!
2. Did you reread anything? What?
answered here... with the addition of graceling by kristin cashore, which i first read in high school. i was honestly really pleased with how much i liked it, especially now that i no longer hate action girls.
10. What was your favorite new release of the year?
some desperate glory by emily tesh! i managed to read a fair number of new releases this year, which is not typical for me. with this one i was so glad i did. i'm not a huge sci fi reader, so i don't know how more experienced readers may find the plot, but it was at just the right level of technical and character-driven for me.
the other new releases i rated 5 stars this year were the novella mammoth at the gates by nghi vo, illustrated chapter book the skull by jon klassen, and illustrated children's nonfiction chinese menu by grace lin.
12. Any books that disappointed you?
the sun and the void by gabriela romero-lacruz was my biggest disappointment of the year. looking back, everything else that disappointed me ended up in the category of "this is just fine," but this one bored and frustrated me the whole time. it's easy to say that a book you don't like "needed more editing," but with this debut weighing in at over 500 pages and riddled with errors as basic as word usage, i think it deserves the criticism.
i will say that some of the criticism it's gotten seems to me to be willfully misunderstanding (for instance, accusing it of racism just because characters experience and internalize fantastical racism, when the in-universe fantastical racism is obviously intentional and meant to be questioned), but there are other, more insidious assumptions about the fantasy races that i'm not sure the author is aware of (the "positive" worldbuilding fact that certain species are biologically predisposed to be stronger/more warlike, and that's why they were able to put up a resistance to human colonization...). and ultimately i just don't have enough good things to say about it to come to its defense.
17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?
answered this here, but i'm going to say again that idlewild absolutely bodied me. i'd also like to shout out:
the space between here and now by sarah suk, which is not the kind of young adult contemporary/spec fic book i would normally pick up, but i did so for the reason that the description sounded like a story i wanted to write as a teenager, and i really liked it.
i read both nettle and bone and thornhedge by t. kingfisher and rated both 4 stars. i was not overly impressed with bryony and roses when i read it a few years back, but these books have convinced me to dip my toes in again.

THE 56 MOST BELOVED & POPULAR ACTRESSES OF WORLD CINEMA ! (OFFICIAL LIST-BASED ON INDIES SUBCONSCIOUS ASSESSMENT OF MOST CONSISTENTLY HIGHLY POPULAR ACTRESSES & BLOCKBUSTER FILMS OF WORLD CINEMA, INCL DATA FROM VARIOUS INDIES FILM LISTS & ALL OTHERS!)
Note: The point system used, to give audiences an idea of the magnitude of comparative popularities of listed actors, includes 2 factors:
1. A calculated AVERAGE of no. of tkts sold PER FILM in lead (80% weightage)
&
2. No. of films released in lead (20% weightage)
(Also, the discrepancies in placements of the few actresses listed in American Popularity charts & World Popularity charts, arise due to the strict average rule adopted in this list, vis a vis the American or Bollywood Popularity ratings where different weightages were given for every 100 films in lead or so. This to minimize the bias from cultural cinema viewing preferences in different countries).

Kærlighedskujon
Burger-øjne
Dine sande løgne
En poetisk streg på min vej
En uundværlig og uudholdelig, smuk fejl
Fååårk - et suk, og så et nej
Jeg tager rejsen den baglæns vej
Den pris du aldrig forstår, man betaler
For at elske dig
Blind som natten
Frustrerede kvinder i grædekor
Stiller sig på skuldrene af hinanden
Overfor den samme ene bandit i årtier
En som aldrig forbli'er, en som aldrig transcenderer,
'Den fælles forbier'
At snuble over den ballarina-snor
Man skulle have balanceret på mens alle glor
igennem Aarhus midnat alene,
Hovedkulds og stakåndet efter sidste spinkle spor
Ingen vinder alligevel mor
(Sarah-Kamille Teib, d. 16. marts 2023)

“Sunbird” by Asenath W. — Grand Prize Winner (14-18 age group)
The room was still thick with the torturous heat of the day, and Zahra’s hands were damp as she drew the wrapper from her pocket. She lay curled on her side under the room’s single window—a slit, really, in the thick wall—with her back to the other girls. Zahra concealed the waxy paper in her hands as a rush of adrenaline made her tremble.
Girls clung to the comfort of sleep all around her, their eyes shut tight. They didn’t want to wake up—especially tonight, when it was their turn to face the beasts again. Zahra hadn’t wanted to wake up either, but she had to.
For Lila…
Zahra smoothed out the wrapper silently, focusing on the feeling of the slick wrapper against her sweat-soaked fingers. She remembered wrappers like this from her childhood—bright and colorful, just like the sticky squares of fruit they held. She remembered folding the wrappers, transforming them into birds and flowers, and placing them wherever they would catch the sun.
And yet she could still recall the roughness of too-old, too-dirty bandages scraping against her fingertips. And then the shock of wet blood, and Lila’s voice whimpering, “Zahra, they took my hand…”
Adrenaline surged within her, and Zahra gritted her teeth. She hated this feeling—the way anticipation built up, making her sick and tense and terrified… and then crashed down to nothing, leaving her weak and shaking. Like nothing was in her control.
No.
Zahra gripped the wrapper, shifting to see it better in the dim light. She had this. This was in her control.
No one had seen her steal it from the floor of the transport truck. No one had seen her painstakingly crease her message in it.
No one saw her now.
She had control.
She could save her sister.
Zahra folded the wrapper with precision—despite her fears, she hadn’t forgotten how. She bent the wrapper around the message, forming a long, firm beak, a slender body, and two outstretched wings, itching to catch the wind.
Boots—combat boots, large and unmerciful—rang in the hall. The girls around Zahra finally stirred, getting to their feet and murmuring. It was time.
Zahra’s stomach lurched as she stood on her toes to bring the folded wrapper to the window. She hesitated.
She had to let go now. Relinquish control.
And…
Save Lila.
Zahra let the sunbird fly.
Guest author judge Sarah Suk had this to say about Sunbird:
"A riveting piece of writing that made me think, “Wow, I want to read more.” I was completely immersed in the tension, the vivid descriptions, and the raw emotion of this scene. This is a writer to watch out for!"
Asenath Wetzel is a current senior in high school and is excited to study English in college this fall. She loves eating toast, watching clouds, and dancing, and she also enjoys pottery, needle felting, and watercolor. Her favorite authors are Georgette Heyer, Agatha Christie, and Brandon Sanderson. Asenath has recently found a love for writing short stories, and she hopes to write mystery and science fiction novels in the near future.
