What fun things will we find this week?

The Books

The Flame in the Mist – Renée Ahdieh

I’m a sucker for diverse YA, especially diverse fantasy YA. I’ve heard pretty good things about this book set in feudal Japan, so I’ll keep it on the list.

Verdict: KEEP

Jackaby – William Ritter

YA historical thriller with a gorgeous cover? Easy decision! (Yes, I judge books by their covers. Don’t even pretend you don’t!)

Verdict: KEEP

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda – Becky Albertalli

OK, technically, I’ve already read this, but it was pre-Goodreads, so I’m planning on going back and re-reading it so I can write a proper review of it. I liked it, soooooo….

Verdict: KEEP

The Scorpio Races – Maggie Stiefvater

I think I’ve read something by Ms. Stiefvater before and liked it, but reading the blurb for this… I’m not really into horses, and it sounds like your average YA fantasy. Meh.

Verdict: GO
