Peta Lyre's Rating Normal by Anna WhateleyThe Year the Maps Changed by Danielle Binks
Please Don't Hug Me by Kay Kerr
Late to the Party by Kelly Quindlen
Carve the mark by Veronica Roth. Young Elites by Marie Lu,
it's not out yet, but look for "raybearer" by jordan ifueko in august!
Ugh I'm so disappointed in every one of these. Too many tired tropes (royalty, disallowed magic, vengeful dragons and so on). Write something new already.
Yeah, I agree. It's kind of annoying because we've heard most of these types of stories before!! It's just repeats of original plots. Although, some of these I cannot WAIT to read. But We want new stories that have twist we never expected- Turns where there should be none!! Something that doesn't involve . . . all that.
What is with all of these boring plain cartoonish Covers on books lately? I try not to judge a book by it cover, but I do admit that a Beautiful/Pretty/Interesting Cover definitely helps draw my attention to it initially. A nice cover makes me want to know what the book is about, it draws me in. And most of these covers lately just makes me not care at all.
I know! I've never read any of these books -yet- but some of these books -like "A Breath Too Late" and "Ink in The Blood"- I want to read BECAUSE OF the cover! Some of them look just straight up boring.
Why does black girl unlimited sound soo much like "a girl name Echo" who is coping who?
And The Stars Were Burning Brightly by Danielle Jawando!

I'm so tired of fantasy tbh. The best series I've read in the genre was The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski. Honestly could barely get through reading the blurbs of these new ones.
My YA fantasy debut just came out in April. It’s called The Markings (YA FANTASY) and it’s free to all Amazon prime members and Kindle unlimited members!
Three Things I Know are True by Betty Culley
Woven in Moonlight was so bad
I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson. One of the best books I’ve read!
I was on the blog tour for Tweet Cute
https://justkatherineblog.wordpress.c... My recommendations:
Off the Page by Jodi Picoult
All the Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer and The Host
. also by her. All the Making Out (Boyfriends and Girlfriends) series by Katherine Applegate
Tree Magic
by Harriet Soringbett. I reviewed this on my blog: https://justkatherineblog.wordpress.c...
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Breath Like Water by Anna Jarzab
I think Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales belongs in this list!!! Please add it!!
New Author Lori Michelini - her debut YA novel is awesome - The Remarkable Belly Button of Christopher Jones - a very good read.
SCARLETT LOST IN THE FIVELANDS, my fantasy novel is the best. It is getting 4.5 star rating from the readers.
Tweet Cute by Emma Lord! It's amazing, and massively underrated!
I see for fans of Leigh Bardugo, I click
SCARLETT LOST IN THE FIVE LANDS , the best action fantasy novel of 2020.
