Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

I absolutely loved this book; I read it in maybe 2 days! It’s like a hybrid of Percy Jackson and the Red Queen series, all brought together in a more modern take.

Apeirogon by Colum McCann

A double face out from Queen Anne Book Company in Seattle, WA:  Sit back and let McCann work his magic. The book is rooted in the achingly tender real-life account of Rami and Bassam, Israeli and Palestinian fathers who have lost daughters to senseless violence, but who arrive at a shared position against the occupation …

Tiny Imperfections
by Alli Frank and Asha Youmans

I loved this smart, funny peek inside the high stakes world of San Francisco private schools. It has everything: social satire, family drama, friendship, a lot of laughs, a touch of romance, and lots to think about after.
