“Something that really caught my attention from the beginning was the stark writing style the author has. It goes straight to the point, giving the story a good sense of urgency that really helps to set the right mood. This doesn’t mean that the story is lacking in imagination in any way. On the contrary, the plot is fun and different enough to stand out from the many, many dystopian books out there at the moment.”

“I love doing awards, but can never settle on a format. Here’s what I’m going for this time around.

Today’s post will cover YA books released in the first six months of the year. (Hopefully, unless I’ve messed up any release dates, anyway!) I’ll name my top three contemporary, historical, fantasy/sci-fi and paranormal.)”
