Wow, that book tower looks amazing! Wish I could buy that many books, too, but I guess I’ll stick with some e-books first. Hahaha! Tell me which ones are the worth-reading, okay? 😁

Thank you! I was surprised I had that many piled up around my house that I really wanted to get to this summer. I usually just download ebooks and audiobooks from the library. I’ve already read A Room of One’s Own, The Serpent King, and A Darker Shade of Magic. I recommend them all highly! It just depends on your mood (classic lit, realistic YA, or fantasy).

Oh, I see! That’s good! I’m kind of a realistic YA person. Any books you’d like to recommend? 😄

You just opened a can of worms, my friend. If you’re looking for some great character development and well-written prose, anything by John Green or Rainbow Rowell (Eleanor and Park has one of the most intense hand-holding scenes in all of literature). Tommy Wallach’s And We All Looked Up was suspenseful and had lovely characters. Jennifer Niven’s All the Bright Places was devastating and beautiful. Those are probably some of my favorites that I’ve read the past couple of years 🙂

Thank you so much! Oh my, All the Bright Places and John Green’s TFIOS are my favorites as well! And JG is my favorite YA author ever! And yes, Eleanor and Park is such a great book. Thank you for all those recommendations, btw! 😊
