Amy Wu and the Patchwork Dragon Bright, joyful illustrations help tell this delightful story – if you love dragons and different cultures this is for you.
The Grief Keeper A hard-hitting realistic fiction novel with a sci-fi twist – this book looks at trauma in a deeply affecting way and has an excellent f/f romance.
The Barren Grounds Talking animals, a complicated sister/brother relationship – think Narnia but with Indigenous folklore in the best way possible.
Tigers, Not Daughters A haunted house story (ish?) that is at it’s heart about sisters who love each other, but can’t quite figure out how to be with one another – lovely, creepy, engrossing.
Blue Flag Vol. 1 The only love square I’ll accept – these characters are so heart-warming and their dynamics kept me glued to the page.
Legendborn Everything I could want out of an urban fantasy novel – a twisty plot, juicy character dynamics, and a heroine that feels so achingly real.
When Spring Comes to the DMZ Beautiful, colorful illustrations help tell this heartfelt story about seasons, distance, and culture.
When Life Gives You Mangos Lovely and heartfelt, this book looks at the trials and tribulations of friendship with just a touch of mystery – plus a lush island setting.
Blood Water Paint This story based on a real-life Renaissance painter left a considerable imprint on me. Thinking back on Artemisia’s story, told in stunning verse and alternating with depictions of Biblical women full of rage, still makes me catch my breath.
