Hey, everyone! Today I'm talking about three books that I read last year that were absolutely amazing! These three books are some of my favorite from the year and I can't recommend them enough.
THE BOOKS:
The Mermaid by Christina Henry- 5 stars This book is so beautiful and heartbreaking. It will definitely not be for everyone, but it is the type of whimsical, historical, heartbreaking, and feminist book that I look for occasionally. It checked all of my boxes and makes me so happy when I think about it. Check out my review here.
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis- 5 stars The audio narration for this one is fantastic. This was my first experience reading the beloved story and I loved it. I think it's absolutely brilliant and it's one that I just want to gush about all day long.
Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds- 5 stars This novel is so important. It is written in poetry and I listened to the audiobook (which is narrated by Reynolds himself). This story is hard-hitting and tackles all the reasons why young men get stuck in the cycle of gang violence.
Recommend the Most:
All of them! Each novel appeals to a different audience. The Mermaid for the lover of fairy tales told in dark and historical ways, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe for the fantasy fan, and Long Way Down for those who want to read contemporary novels.
