We’ve all heard the saying, “One must not judge a book by it’s cover,” but when it comes to YA books, it’s simply impossible not to get caught by pretty covers.

So, here are a bunch of YA books published or will soon be published this 2016 that I’m on the lookout for because I, personally, believe that they have the most beautiful covers.

Looking at my goodreads, my choice of books this year has had some pretty depressing themes!

Absent father, serial killer, abduction/serial killer, mother has cancer, a break up, abduction/murder, and attempted suicide.

Time for something happier maybe?

It’s the season of romance so we think it’s time to celebrate the YA couples who remind us what a love story should be <3

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been personally hurt by the fact that Goodreads doesn’t offer half-star ratings…

After a very slow reading year I managed to reach my goal for 2015!

When will people realize that reading is not a competition??? You read 20 books this year? Cool. You read 200? Cool. You read half a book this year? Cool. You don’t read at all? Cool. 

The amount of books you read doesn’t make you better or worse than anyone else.

If you’re reading a book and you’re unsure who the love interest is, wait until someone smirks. Love interests always smirk
