One by Sarah Crossan

This was my first time with a book that was written in verse and honestly I don't really get it, but this was still a really good read and because it was in verse it was short and impactful. Again like I've said in previous reviews I've tried to make sure my language isn't offensive …

Sabriel by Garth Nix

The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness

This is a strange but interesting book. It's about the people in the background, the not chosen ones, the rest.
