"A punch of a book"

Our YA queen, Stephanie, is loving the dystopian The Dandelion Riots by Kim Smejkal, out from Pushkin Press

I read Shelf Discovery by Lizzie Skurnick, a book about many of my childhood favorites, and had... quite a lot of thoughts.

54th read of 2025:

Iron Widow (Iron Widow #1) by Xiran Jay Zhao

This slaps. I thought I knew where this story was going once Zetian got herself assigned as a concubine-pilot. Then she comes out of the gate swinging and finishes her revenge murder. The rest of the book is the “what now?” as Zetian lives when she expects to be executed and is trying to free herself from the system, while uncovering what’s really going on.

5/5 stars

I'm publishing my first middle grade story this summer, and am curious to get other writers and readers thoughts on the price for the EBOOK format.

For reference, it's just shy of 25k words, and is 116 print pages. The print format will be $7.99.

Thanks!

Elite school. Vril powers. Missing students.
Basically, it’s dark academia—but with more cannibalism and fewer functioning guidance counselors.

Meet Me Tonight is my YA dystopian fantasy debut, and it’s weird in all the best ways.
Preorder now for June 11th release.

40th read of 2025:

I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver

This straddles a YA contemporary coming out narrative for a non-binary and queer teenager and a romance, and it does both sides of the story a disservice.

3/5 stars

#Bookstodon #YABooks #2025Reads
Book cover for I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver

Features two young teens, one is white and nonbinary with shoulder-length brown hair and wears a purple shirt, the other has darker skin and short-cropped hair and is a boy wearing a yellow shirt. The nonbinary person is leaning on his shoulder.
