Take a classic, high-stakes, locked-room mystery, add some spicy drama, and you have a real page-turner.
This is probably the most unique historical fiction book I’ve read all year. My first read by Ruta Sepetys did not disappoint!

I read Truly Devious the other day, and while its unsatisfying ending rubbed me the wrong way, that book has catapulted me into a complete mystery/thriller addiction. I can’t stop reading them now, and here’s why:
With 11 days until the official start to summer, we all could use a fun and fluffy contemporary, right? Add in a few adorable dogs and a splash of light romance, and you have the perfect June read.
My incurable mystery addiction continues! I can barely put into words how much I LOVED this book.
So, is John Green really that pretentious? If you’ve been paying attention to the YA scene, you’ve probably read one of John Green’s books- he is a celebrated YA contemporary author who has written a lot of very successful novels. After finishing Looking for Alaska, I can finally say that I’ve read all of his books. They’ve all been hit-or-miss for me: I loved some of them and really didn’t like some of them, but I will always respect him for the lifesaver that is Crash Course US History. Without further ado, here is my ranking of John Green’s books, from worst to best!
Nursery rhymes have always been creepy, but this book took it to another level…
It’s official: A Monster Calls is hands down the saddest book I have EVER read.
Favorite quote: “I tuck my book under my arm. No wonder the Nazis don’t want people to have them. For them, books are weapons. For me, stories are lifesavers.”
Favorite quote: “Never let your obstacles become more important than your goal.”
Yes, I read this book because of coronavirus and I’m very grateful that we have more medical knowledge now than we did in 1793…
Well… that was intense.
Flowers for Algernon is one of the saddest books I have ever read.
Favorite quote: “What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.”
A few weeks into quarantine, I discovered something amazing: the sheer number of audiobooks you can find on YouTube for free.
I am WAY late to the party with this one, but I finally read The Hunger Games this year.
