2021: #58 – City of Bones (Cassandra Clare)

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

This is one of those YA series that passed me by the first time around, but I’m glad I gave it a shot. This paranormal world is similar to other in that there are vampires and werewolves and demons and other magical creatures, but there are also Shadowhunters. Which are kinda like angels, but not really? All of these creatures are normally invisible to humans,

2021: #38 – Foretold (Violet Lumani)

Foretold is the story of Cassandra, a 17 year old with OCD who is plagued by catastrophic thoughts and visions. Most of the time these visions are just visions, her anxious imagination working overtime — except for that time she saw her mom die. Now she’s seen a vision of a teen boy dying in front of her, and when she gets home and discovers

Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

Children of Blood and Bone is a YA fantasy based on a Nigerian religious tradition.

I really liked the heart of this book. I loved April and her unapologetic geekiness, and I liked what Dade has to say about body positivity, and that she wrote a male protagonist that walks the talk. What I wasn’t expecting was just how detailed into the fanfiction subculture this was going to go. It’s one of the few times I’ve started a book and
