Your local high school English teacher is here with her top five books she read this year!

I adore each of these books! Most of them are for middle grade or YA audiences, but those are the audiences I teach and my kids ask me for book recommendations.

Seriously though, please read Project Hail Mary, it's one of my top five books of all time now and I need more people to read it so that I can obsess over it with them.

If you Like Try

Title & Author:

Left: We’ll never be apart by Emiko Jean

Right: The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich

Why: both these books are hard to explain without spoiling because they both have an unreliable narrator, but trust me if you like one you will most likely like the other as well

Both have female leads looking for their sister, and both have mental hospital as well having themes of memory and loss
