If you haven’t read Solito by Javier Zamora, I can’t recommend it enough. I saw that this memoir received a lot of awards last year, and I hadn’t read it, so I suggested it for my book club. It is incredibly well-written. I cried a lot.

I had to see what the hype was all about. I must admit—this book was very well-done. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas fits in the new romantasy genre (fantasy and romance), but it is much lighter on the romance than Fourth Wing. I thought that the fantasy world-building was magnificent, and I really appreciated the intelligence behind some of the plot maneuvers. I am not typically compelled to read second books (and onward) within a series, but I am tempted with this one.

This week, I read The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. I absolutely loved this book. It is one that I will always remember. The main character can change past regrets and see where her life would be if she chose differently. The book made me very self-reflective.

I am so excited to see which books are honored tomorrow in the ALA Youth Media Awards!

Adult

I finished Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride. I really loved this book and find myself recommending it often. The writing is beautiful, and I liked learning a bit more about a moment in history.

Young Adult

I reread Courage to Dream a third time to prepare it for the college and high school students. It stands up to the rereading, and I am still glad we chose this book.

I also read four new picture books, but I am going to record those next time because I can’t remember the titles of two of them, and they are in my office!
