Welcome to my old feature brought back as I try to establish a routine for my blog. One Friday a month I will be featuring a list of read-a-likes for a specific book, or a list of great reads for a specific genre. I do a lot of book recommendations for my job and for class so I figured it was time I share them with you. Happy Reading!

This is a great feature. I actually still need to read The Sun is Also a Star. It's on my TBR, along with several of the other titles you're recommending. I'm especially looking forward to Silvera's book.
ReplyDeleteThey Both Die at the End was one of my favorite reads of last year!!!!! I can't recommend it enough.
