The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender
by
"The mesmerizing story was strangely appealing to me. Leslye Walton has a gentle, beautiful, flowing writing style, which ultimately made "The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender" not quite like anything I've ever read. This is now one of my favorite books. Amazing."

Falling into Place
by
"This is probably the biggest "surprise" book of 2014 for me. And by that I mean it exceeded my expectations above and beyond. It's also worth noting that the ending made me tear up."

The Young Elites (The Young Elites, #1)
by
"Engrossing, with a unique cast of characters—this time, you can't be too sure that the good guys are so good. And it included plenty of one of my favorite things about Marie Lu's writing: political intrigue."
