Well, it’s time for to me fill my “Reading Outside of My Usual Genre” quota for the year.
I came across this book on NPR books where Amal El-Mohtar discussed how awesome the diverse covers for this book were and how Max Gladstone became one of his favorite authors. I had a Fantasy space in my Summer Book Bingo, so when I saw this was available on Scribd I started reading.

To Madeline Whittier the world is a stranger. She suffers from a rare illness that makes her allergic to…everything. She has classes, the internet and mom to keep her connected, but when a troubled family with a curious boy moves next door she realizes she could have more.
I went into this novel thinking it would focus on a romance between Olly and Maddy, but the story focuses more on Maddy’s coming-of-age. For me this book was all about Maddy and the romance didn’t quite do it for me. I was more drawn to how Yoon wrote Maddy’s inner conflicts. As the reader you know the risks she takes to be normal are bad for her, but you still want her to take the chance….

Last week I sat down and opened up my YA Quarterly Box from Book Riot.com. This box featured a set of YA contemporaries with female leads as well as some fun bookish accessories. I’ll reveal the items below and you can watch me unbox it here
Chasing Shadows Swati Avasthi
I did a quick flip through this book sand it looks like a combination of prose and images. I’ve been wanting to get into graphic and visual novels so this might be a great combo for me.
Everything Leads To You by Nina LaCour
First of all I like the lightness on this cover and the font is very dynamic. I’ve seen the cover online but it looks better IRL. In this novel a girl gets carried away by a mysterious letter writer.
A Sense of The Infinite by Hilary T Smith
Released earlier this summer this book is about a girl dealing with the tough stuff in life. It’s been a while since I’ve jumped into the contemporary boat, so this could fill that gap.
Once again, I was happy that these were books I wasn’t overly familiar with and didn’t already own. I see myself using the library cards as bookmarks or to take notes for reviews. Over all this box appealed to me more than the last box.
I picked this book up at the Harlequin Teen signing at BEA and knew nothing about .I knew Cross vaugeley from steampunk series that starts with The Girl in the Steel Corset, but I’d never heard of this series. I think I chose this as my first post-BEA books because this is the first time in a long time I’ve read something with no information about it. It felt like the old days when every book I read was a new discovery.
Sister of Blood and Spiritis a paranormal YA with a bit of a horror twist.Twin sisters Wren and Lark (wink, wink) are near identical with two key differences; 1. Wren’s hair is a bright red and Lark’s is white and 2. Wren was born a ghost and only Lark can see her.
Yeah, this cover is very on the nose.
