Divergent by Veronica Roth
Divergent is great for anyone interested in dystopian societies.
Whisper of the Woods by Ennun Ana Iurov
Whisper of the Woods by Ennun Ana Iurov is the author's first professionally published graphic novel. It's about a young foreigner, Adam, who travels to a supposedly haunted forest in Romania to search for his friend who had gone there solo and vanished. Ignoring the advice of the locals, Adam arrogantly assumes he is above the supernatural forces obviously at play.
Margot Mertz Takes It Down by Carrie McCrossen and Ian McWethy
This is a great book for anyone who loved Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu. The main character Margot Mertz is funny, and headstrong. Margot runs a business that cleans up after other people’s digital presence in order to save money to go to Stanford.
Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Törzs
All book lovers out there should add this book about magical books to their TBR list.
The Agathas by Kathleen Glasgow
Last summer Alice disappeared. After her ex-boyfriend started dating her (now also ex) best-friend, Brooke, Alice took everything she had learned about Agatha Christie and staged her own disappearance. Now she's back at school facing rumors and ridicule and stuck with a tutor to catch up on her school work. Iris, desperate for extra cash to escape to a new life, gets the tutoring gig. When Brooke disappears though and Alice's ex-boyfriend ends up the prime suspect for alleged murder none of the puzzle pieces seem to fit together quite the way the police say.
City Spies by James Ponti
This book is about international spies, MI16, and hackers. It is fast paced with action scenes and found family. I absolutely loved the way the characters interacted with each other and their handler Mother. The main character Sara is funny, smart and has an incredible sense of justice.
The Okay Witch by Emma Steinkellner
This book is definitely worth reading. The main character Moth uncovers she is a witch, her mother is a witch and her mother is really much older then she looks. Moth has to fight not only the bullies at school but an old war between witches and witch hunters.
I Left the House Today! by Cassandra Calin
You know that great feeling when your dress has pockets? How about that icky feeling when it's the week you really, really need chocolate? Cassandra Calin certainly does!
Chobits Volume 1
Magus of the Library by Mitsu Izumi
A book for book lovers! Theo Fumis loves books, but because he lives in the slums, the town librarian refuses to let him borrow books or even set foot inside the library. That doesn't stop him from sneaking in to read them though! Due to his mixed ancestry, easily apparent by his pointed ears and blonde hair, Theo is shunned by nearly all of the town's residence, and books are his only escape from his harsh life. A life he dreams of leaving behind by becoming a kafna.
Nettle and Bone by T. Kingfisher
Looking for a dark, yet quirky fantasy quest? Look no further. Nettle and Bone (2022) delivers with the story of Marra, a princess determined to save her sister from an abusive marriage. Of course she needs help on her quest and help comes in the form of a dust-wife (a witch who can speak to the dead), a dog made of bones, an honorable knight saved from goblins, a fairy godmother with dubious talents and a demon possessed chicken.
