Time to nominate books for our February BOTM. This thread is specific to 13+ yo. Our theme is a book with a heart on the cover or in the title; it could be broken or whole.

Please do your own research before nominating to make sure it follows in the rules of our CLEAN READS. Looking forward to your nominations.

I'd like to recommend Drama by Raina Telgemeir. it's been a while since I've read it and I don't really remember the age it's suitable for so just to be safe, I'm putting it in the 13+ coloumn

I'll nominate Listen to Your Heart by Kasie West. This one has been on my TBR for a while!

Heartless by Marissa Meyer. It’s suitable for a 13 year old.

That book was really awesome. Marissa does a great job of creating a universe for her characters.

My heart and other black holes by Jasmine Warga.
I read it when I was 14, so I don't remember exactly what was in it.
It does center around depression/suicide and other mental health issues.
I tried to find the criteria for the books and was unable to find it, but is am pretty sure that it is okay.

I didn't even know When Calls the Heart was a book. I look forward to reading it as I love the show.
