Books of 2023: "The Stranded" by @sarahdanielsbooks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 WOW... just WOW! This was such an amazing ride. I never read a dystopian like this one! I was turned off from the genre after reading "The Hunger Games." But after reading this "The Stranded," if they turn out to be like this, I will be reading more of the genre. It was so well written and filled with everything that will have a reader on the edge of your seat: action, amazing world building, and great character development. All great aspects that make it one of my favorites of 2023. Don't know if I can wait for the second book in the summer but I'll try! 😊 The second picture was the first try of taking the picture... a certain feline wanted to join the fun!

Books of 2022: "The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks" by @shauna.robs ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 If you are looking for a heartwarming and lighthearted novel to cap off #BlackHistoryMonth, then you can't go wrong with this one! For fans who love books and the power reading gives to other book lovers, I will want to pick up this book! But it was also a great self-discovery novel. Maggie is portrayed as most twenty-somethings that are trying to find their way in the world. A lot of readers, including myself, will find themselves connected with this great story. I had a wonderful discussion with @shauna.robs a couple of weeks back.

Books of 2023: The Trial by @laura_bates__ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25/5 **** I'm never surprised when Bates writes something compelling, and this YA novel is no different. This is once again a MUST read. Bates has brought young readers another powerful and insightful tale of how sexism and harassment are rampant in our society. You think this is your everyday survival story, and it is not. It's a different type of survival story, a tale that most girls and women unfortunately live with every day. The tense atmosphere and thrilling nature were just done brilliantly. The island used an allegory for society to be insightful and necessity. Readers definitely need to give this one a chance. This may have been the first book I finished in the new year, but I'm still counting it as once of the best I read in 2022. #books #books2022 #bookstagram #laurabates #ukyabooks #feminism #yabooks #bestbooksof2022 #cupofteabooksof2023 #youngadultbooks #survivalstories #fightagainstmisogyny #femaleempowerment https://www.instagram.com/p/CnI0TT-rdX7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
