All That’s Left in the World By Erik J. Brown Cover Image
$17.99
ISBN: 9780063054974
Availability: Not In Stock - Usually Available in 1-5 Days
Published: Balzer + Bray - March 8th, 2022

I have to say, I was nervous about reading a super-flu book after COVID...but Erik J Brown handled the subject tastefully, in a way that allowed me to feel some feels, but didn't overwhelm me. ALL THAT'S LEFT IN THE WORLD is end of the world meets queer coming-of-age. I laughed, I cried, I was creeped out and stressed out, but most of all, full of hope for Andrew and Jamie.

$9.99
ISBN: 9780316298711
Availability: Backordered - Usually Ships in 14-90 days
Published: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers - August 29th, 2017

This was my first 5 star read of the year, and it completely devastated me. AND THE TREES CREPT IN features a haunted manor, a sentient forest, and a main character who isn't sure what's real and what's not. Full of twists and turns, this YA horror kept me creeped out and guessing all the way through, then ripped my heart out at the end. Could not recommend it more!

Delilah Green Doesn't Care By Ashley Herring Blake Cover Image
$17.00
ISBN: 9780593336403

Published: Berkley - February 22nd, 2022

Romantic, funny, heartwarming, and full of sapphic representation! Delilah Green, an artist strapped for cash, is forced to travel back to her hometown to photograph her stepsister's wedding, but what should have been a small town nightmare turns into an opportunity for romance when Delilah reconnects with her stepsister's best friend, Claire. This book gave me the one-bed, blast-from-the-past, secretly-soft realness that I needed from a romance novel.
