Amber’s recent WLW reads:

Cute Mutants Vol 1: Mutant Pride by SJ Whitby

(Young Adult Sci-Fi) Book 1 in a series

A hilarious and adorable novel about a group of teens who all mysteriously develop crazy mutant powers after a party one night. This book was sent to me by the author to review and I’m SO incredibly grateful because it’s a new favourite for me now!! All of the characters are so lovable and the humour in this book is top notch!! I’m very excited for the rest of this series.

♥♥♥♥

Iron Heart by Nina Varela

(Young Adult Fantasy) Book 2 in a duology

I reread Crier’s War before jumping straight into this one and honestly,,, WOW. I actually think I preferred book 2 to book 1 and I already miss these girls and this world so much. The ending and epilogue of this book were SO SOFT!!! pls more crierayla nina varela pls.

♥♥♥♥

The Sullivan Sisters by Kathryn Ormsbee

(Young Adult Mystery) Standalone

This book is about 3 sisters who drift apart as they get older and we now follow them as they discover that they have been left a house by an uncle they never knew existed. This book was a bit of a let down for me personally, it really fell flat and the ‘mystery’ part didn’t surprise me at all :((

♥♥♥♥

The Mermaid, the Witch and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall

(Young Adult Fantasy) Book 1 in a duology

A desperate orphan turned pirate and a rebellious imperial daughter find a connection on the high seas in a world divided by colonialism and threaded with magic. This book was super fun, magic and gorgeous. The writing style was sooo pretty and I MISS MY GIRLS ALREADY!!! but what,,, what was that ending?!?!?!

♥♥♥♥

The Space Between by Meg Grehan

(Young Adult Contemporary/Poetry) Standalone

I buddy read this one with Emily (@ashortbooklover) and we both absolutely loved it!! It’s a short novella written in verse that follows Beth who has agoraphobia and is feeling trapped and suffocated when she meets a girl and her dog. One thing I loved the most about this book was that Beth finding love didn’t immediately ‘fix’ her and her mental illness! It was a very short and gorgeous read ❤

♥♥♥♥

Radio Silence by Alice Oseman

(Young Adult Contemporary) Standalone

I re-read this book recently and picked it up on audio, IT WAS PHENOMENAL. Like, just as good as I’d remembered ❤ aaa these characters are all so cue and I missed them so much, so it was lovely to be back with them again.

♥♥♥♥

Loveless by Alice Oseman

(Young Adult Contemporary) Standalone

Another of Alice Oseman’s book that I’m in love with, shocker. This book was witty, funny and heart-breaking all at once and SO eye opening to me as I’ve just recently come out as ace. I loved all the characters in this book and related to Georgia’s story a lot.

♥♥♥♥

The Wrong McElroy by K.L. Hughes

(Adult Romance) Standalone

This book is about a lesbian who pretends to be her best friend’s girlfriend for him and visits his family,,,, and then she falls in love with his sister. This was a super short, fun and cute story and I loved the setting :))

Sasha’s Recent WLW reads:

♥♥♥♥

So, I went back to school recently and have only read four books so far this month 😦 The good news is two of those were sapphic:

♥♥♥♥

Lies Like Poison by Chelsea Pitcher

(Young Adult Contemporary Thriller) Standalone

Lies Like Poison was a twisted contemporary fairytale with exciting twists and centring around the friendship between four kids who would do anything for each other. I enjoyed this thriller but my favourite aspect was OBVIOUSLY the f/f romance between two fierce and badass girls!

♥♥♥♥

Crier’s War by Nina Varela

(Young Adult Fantasy) Book 1 in a duology

I also reread Criers War by Nina Varela in anticipation for Iron Heart, and once again I ADORED it! I think I enjoyed it a little more ironically than the first time as my taste has changed a bit but still god-tier yearning and a capturing plot! I love fantasy with elements of mystery like this one and I’d DIE for Crier and Ayla, two stupid and horny emotionally-closed-off girls.
