  Eligible

  Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld |

  An absolute gem of a read; this contemporary adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice presents the reader with thoroughly satisfying familiar but modernized characters, a pleasant narrative and explicit expressions of feminism which Austen herself would have appreciated!

  This Savage Song

  This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab |

  Those who follow us on Instagram will know that it took me awhile to get into this book. It wasn’t until I was 100 pages in that I finally realized that Kate and August weren’t siblings.

  Yeah. I was more than a little confused. I then realized that the reason I was so confused was that I had accidentally skipped thirty pages… (and not read the book summary.)

  Shatter Me

  Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi |

  Shatter Me is everything I wanted from a YA dystopian fiction novel – with a strong, jaded but open to growing heroine, a good back story, and good pacing; from beginning to end Tahereh Mafi delivers an engaging read! Also, it’s beautifully written; you really can’t go wrong with this one!

  Outlander

  Outlander & Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon |

  Have you ever wondered what life was like 300-something years ago? By that I mean, really wondered about it all, not just watched some poorly-crafted youtube video about 18th Century hygiene (or lack thereof) and gave it some thought just long enough for the next video to buffer. Did you ever try to imagine the smell, the people, the food, the sounds?

  Incarnate

  Incarnate by Jodi Meadows |

  Incarnate is a highly creative concept; a good read for when you’re ready to jump into a new world – a fantasy-fairytale world. Ana is a complex character and her quest for acceptance and answers is simultaneously heartwarming and perilous. But stay focused, the writing is a bit rough at times! Also, expect to have lots of unanswered questions at the end of this read - sorry!
