Carry On: A Novel
By Rainbow Rowell

I absolutely loved this book! The plot left me always wanting to delve further into this universe, constantly seeking more answers and jumping into these characters lives. Also the representation in this book is brilliant. We see plus size, POC, LGBT+ characters and mental health is openly discussed. Also I find the romance between Simon and Baz to be one of the most beautiful queer relationships. It’s not just thrown together for the purpose of attracting readers, it is two broken souls finding comfort in one another, opening themselves up and breaking down walls as they start to begin a passionate and heartfelt relationship. The humour of the book gives a light hearted feel, but the themes are heavy to the attentive reader so I would advise being careful if you are sensitive to more mature content. It’s a must read for anyone who loves a good romance to die for, and get tissues! This book hits hard!
Let the Sky Fall
By Shannon Messenger
Vane Weston is lucky to be alive. He survived a category 5 tornado that was his parents’ fate, and was named in the local newspaper as “Miracle Boy”. Ten years after the storm he is still dreaming about a girl that he feels had something to do with the storm and his survival even though he doesn’t remember anything from his past. He wants to find her really badly; she could tell Vane about his past, and she is hot. One night while he is on a date with someone, he sees “dream girl” and knows she is real. But that is not it; the next night she comes into his bedroom while he is sleeping and wakes him up. Still dazed by the fact that his dream girl is in his room, she tells him something beyond crazy; he is a Sylph, just like her. An air elemental. He can speak to the winds and control them. But all of the Sylphs are in trouble; Raiden and his Stormers are coming and he is their only hope to defeat them. In an epic love story and battle, Messenger earns fans who will stay with her until the very end of this enthralling trilogy. My thoughts: Let The Sky Fall was an epic book. This is the first love story I have read, and it was amazing. Lets just say that the cover and the blurb knocked the wind out of me (wind pun:-) and so did the author with Keeper Of The Lost Cities that I just had to read it. Shannon Messenger is so awesome; her writing blows me away (hahaha, another wind pun)and she stuns me with each of her works. The emotions and feelings the characters have for each other in this book are very strong, with love and sadness and so many other strong feelings and I think that is part of the book that makes it so good. This is the first time I have heard of Sylphs, and I think they are really cool! They basically control the wind, and that is the Gale Force’s job. Audra is a guardian, only few elite people in the Gales are, and she protects Vane all the time. There are also so many problems that Vane and Audra have to face; Vane is already betrothed to a princess, Audra knows it is wrong to love Vane because her job is to only protect him but she still loves him, Audra needs to train Vane before the Stormers arrive, Audra has a memory that is a burden on her back and does not want Vane to see, and Vane needs to have all four breakthroughs to be strong enough to fight Raiden. So, lots of problems; but will they be solved? read Let The Sky Fall and find out!

Pandemonium (Delirium Trilogy)
By Lauren Oliver
Absolutely magnificent. Lena's spellbinding adventure continues in the second book of the Delirium Trilogy. Without food, without water, and most importantly with her love Alex, Lena staggers through the Wilds, indiscriminately choosing trees and shelter to sleep. For days, she has ventured through the tangled woods. She would give up if her final promise hadn't been to Alex that she would run. So when Lena is found and taken care of by an Invalid named Raven, she can't tell if she is thankful, cautious, or angry. The rest of the story alternates between Lena's gradual recovery in the Wilds and her mission years later back in Portland, with a fake identity. And when Lena meets Julian Fineman, the face of the Deliria-Free America association, when they're captured by Scavengers, her life will be forever changed. In all truth, the first book was okay, but this one was positively magnificent by all standards. Compelling, intriguing, suspenseful, and ending with a cliffhanger, "Pandemonium" kept me up all night just thinking about what would happen in the final installment.

By Pittacus Lore

I think this book has an amazing conclusion and constantly keeps you turning the pages for more.
