The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

Book One of The Raven Cycle series. My life has been ruined at the hands of four prep school boys from Virignia. 

 

02

The Wicked + The Divine vol 1-3

Go read this. Right now. Seriously. What are you still doing here? Go.

04

Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater

Book Three of The Raven Cycle.

 

05

Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare

This series is very near and dear to my heart and is one of my favorite YA franchises. This book is the first in The Dark Artifices, a new series that takes place in LA. 

​

06

The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater

This book was everything I hoped it would be. 

​

07

Cinder by Marissa Meyer

I'm a little late to the party on this series, but the first book in this fairy-tale retelling story is almost perfect. Check out my review on Goodreads!

​

Scarlet by Marissa Meyer

The sequel definitely lived up to my expectations. Can't wait to read the rest of this amazing series!

​

09

Bitch Planet by Kelly Sue DeConnick
Wow. What an amazing story.

Saga vol 6 by Brian K Vaughan

Just when I think this story can't get any better, it does! Still as suspenseful and intense as the first issues. And this volume leaves the reader on another cliffhanger that will have dire consequences for the rest of the series. 

​

11

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by JK Rowling

I understand that she didn't write this. But she did sign off on it and I'm just kind of left wondering how and why. See Goodreads for a full review.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Simply beautiful retelling of the story of Achilles and Patroclus. 

​

13

Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat

Very lush world-building and the first book in this trilogy left me wanting to read more about the characters and their world. 

​

14

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

If you loved Fangirl and have a special place in your heart for boy wizards, definitely read this book. 

​

Rat Queens vol. 1

As someone who regularly plays D&D, this series is an absolute blast! Follows four witty, hilarious, kickass lady adventurers.
