ISO Books: As readers, we are always looking for our next book to read or a stack to fill our TBR shelves. This is your opportunity to ask using our Armchair Book Expo Book Suggestion Generator (aka YOU!). Are you wanting to expand your horizons with minority characters? Are you in search of your next book club read? Do you want to explore your graphic novel or comic book options? Or, are you looking for a book that broaches a mental health or childhood issue to help you grow in understanding and knowledge in your personal life? YOU ask and YOU answer.
Today's topic for Armchair BookExpo is books we're searching for. In my case, I'm always in search of books for my kiddo. Current favorite authors are Brandon Mull and his Fablehaven series, Enders Game by Orson Scott Card and Highly Illogical Behavior by John Correy Waley and I am Four. (edited to add books like Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Six of Crows, Rick Riordan was also a favorite).
Together that probably sounds pretty random, but I'm looking for Dystopian, Fantasy, more YA than middle grade.
Now for myself, I'm always on the lookout for YA books with diverse characters or written by diverse authors and a good MG Historical Fiction set in Germany or Switzerland and not about WWI or WWII.
Feel free to recommend some books and I'll check them out or leave your ArmChair link.
Isn't it hard to find fiction about those areas that aren't about the war? I'm always looking for books set in Poland that aren't about the war.
ReplyDeleteI just read Allegedly by Tiffany Jackson and it was amazing. I also liked Alaya Dawn Johnson's and Daniel Jose Older's books.
Those do look good, have to check them out. Thanks for the recommendations.
DeleteLately I've been recommending Radio Silence by Alice Oseman for a diverse YA read. It features a bisexual biracial female MC and an asexual supporting character.
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend The Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness and perhaps Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
ReplyDeleteI edited to add Miss Peregrine's, but will look into The Chaos Walking series. Thank you for the recommendation.
DeleteA lot of my friends' kids who love fantasy and dystopian books like the Pendragon series (not sure of the author) and the Shadow Children series by Haddix. :)
