I've been seeing that you've been reading that, how is it? I can't tell if it looks interesting or not! 😜

I just finished reading Sal And Gabi Fix The Universe, and I just started reading Aru Shah And The End Of Time.

I've never heard of those books. 🤔 Who are they by?

Sal and Gabi Fix the Universe is by Carlos Hernandez, and Aru Shah and the End of Time is by Roshani Chokshi. They are both from Rick Riordan’s publishing company, Rick Riordan Presents. Sal and Gabby Fix the Universe is the second book in the series. the first book is called Sal and Gabi Break the Universe.

Totally recommend them.

Thanks!! I'll look them up!! 😄

Allyson, I’ve been loving them!!! They’re clean and also keep me on the edge of my seat a ton because they’ve got a lot of action and suspense. They can typically start out a little slow but once you get into the story, it’s hard to put them down.

Ooh!! Sounds like my kind of book!!! Now I've got to go see if I have any access to them!! 😃 Thanks!! 🤗

Currently knee-deep in Come November

(Light kiss scene, drinking, and no swearing so far but these are definitely not running themes in the book; more centered on family.)

I've been reading a series by Ally Condie. If you like dystopian I would highly recommend it! Even if you don't like dystopian, I would recommend it! 😁 I'm not a huge fan of dystopian but I'm really enjoying this series!! They are completely clean! Mild kissing but that's all. 😄

Matched is the first book.

I’m reading a science fiction book called Renegades. Marissa Meyer, who wrote it, is my favorite author and all of her books that I’ve read are clean. Based on CSM’s review, this book will be clean all the way through, along with the second and third books as well. So if y’all enjoy sci-fi stories, then I think you’ll love this one!!

Marissa Meyer's writing is really good! Haven't read Renegades, but her other series, The Lunar Chronicles, is really good!

I just finished From Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys. Amazing book.

I'm also reading Renegades right now. And Ivy Aberdeen's letter to the world.

I’m reading The Reckoners trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. The three books are Steelheart, Firefight, and Calamity. Uses of the h word and the d word throughout the books, but nothing more than that. A few light kiss scenes. Definitely some violence, but not detailed. I’ve really been enjoying this series, and I totally recommend it to anyone! :)

I have been wanting to try something of his. Would you suggest this series or another to start as my first Sanderson novels?

By no means am I an expert on Brandon Sanderson’s writing, but I’ll say this: I’ve never read a book of his that I haven’t loved!! He is a phenomenal writer and his adult and young adult novels alike are absolutely amazing. :D

if you would like to know which book to start with based on other people's experience, there are some good videos on youtube for Sanderson. And he, himself has a youtube video on this :)

I just recently finished reading All Fall Down by Ally Carter and it was SO good!!! It was so different to Heist Society and I was glad for that! I would recommend it for anyone wanting an action packed book!!!

I am currently reading crossed by Ally Condie
