@libbabraysactualblog IS BACK! y'all, this sounds sooo good! Here's a quick intro from @fiercereadsya, or click HERE to read more!!

"From New York Times-bestselling author Libba Bray comes an evocative and groundbreaking young adult historical mystery that examines truth, rebellion, reconciliation, and what must be sacrificed for a better world.

It was said that if you write to the Bridegroom’s Oak, the love of your life will answer back. Now, the tree is giving up its secrets at last."

QUINTON'S CURIOUS MIND SERIES TRIVIA: The time of day is symbolic throughout the books. Major events in Book 1 occur during the day, in Book 2 during the night, and both during Book 3 to symbolize the life balance Quinton struggled to find.

Julie B. from the Midtown Carnegie Branch recommends “The Truth Project” by Dante Medema.

The Truth Project is a beautifully written YA book in verse using poems, texts, and emails. The story is a powerful one with the main character Cordelia coming to terms with a lie about her life. Her senior project becomes a life altering experience and you quickly know that this is the cause of the emotional turmoil of the storyline. The characters, the family dynamics, and the prose are so intricately woven together that it becomes a read that simply can't be put down.  If you like books written in verse, you won't be disappointed in this pick.

My July Uppercase book box arrived - a gift from reader and friend Lynn Postlewait - and I am so excited! It includes a signed copy of #YAlit contemporary CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT by @brigidkemmerer who is one of my top favorite authors, and who I will read anything that she wrote. I've already started it and I'm really enjoying. I always do with her books! Uppercae also included a beautiful book bag "Booktovert: energy renewed through Reading" (which is totally me), a book pin "One mistake doesn't define you" for CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT, and two enamel book pins. And of course the Uppercase links to bonus material for the book. I also love that Brigid Kemmerer signed her book with her first initial and last name instead of like some of the signed copies I've gotten were they only sign their initials.It feels like an early birthday present! I am delighted! Thank you so very much Lynn! #brigidkemmerer #callitwhatyouwant #Uppercase #booklove #bookrecs #yabookrecommendations #bookrecommendations #yabookrecs #cherylrainfield #YAwriter #LGBTQwriter #booknerd #bookworm #ireadYA #survivor #feminist #YAlit #YAbooks #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B0GjEJ0gRTH/?igshid=1dtlvukqx3qyg

Spoiler alert: They Both Die At The End. (by Adam Silvera) This book proves that life is really about the journey, not the destination. It brings up some heavy topics and philosophical questions without actually feeling heavy or philosophical, which makes it a great read for teens. After all, we all die at the end, yet the moments leading up to the end are what truly matter, and it's up to us to make the most of it. Recommended for: Teenage boys (one of the few YA books with 2 male leads) ... #amreading #amreadingya #bookstagram #yafiction #yabooklove #yabookstagram #adamsilvera #theybothdieattheend #readingcommunity #readersofig #readersofinstagram #bookrecs #yabookreview #yabookrecs #bookreview #mentalhealthawareness #livefully #livelifetothefullest #livelikeyouweredying https://www.instagram.com/p/CQvli9eLpm1/?utm_medium=tumblr

QUINTON'S CURIOUS MIND SERIES TRIVIA: To bookend the three-book story arc, the last sentence in My Summer (and the Song of Cicadas) is very similar to that of My Summer (with Robots).

Quinton Wyatt is reluctant to say goodbye to the carefree days of his high school career — but his friend Hamilton is REALLY, REALLY reluctant to say goodbye to the carefree days of his high school career. Fortunately for him, Ham's found a way to avoid reality and keep the high school role-playing game alive — by joining a rather sketchy organization known as The Queen's Secret Order of Chivalry & Knighthood.

The Quinton's Curious Mind Series is complete!

With the release of My Summer (and the Song of Cicadas), you can follow the highly creative and equally anxious Quinton Wyatt throughout his high school years.

It is June 1981 and Quinton Wyatt has just graduated from high school. In three months' time, he'll start a new adventure at an out-of-state university. That doesn’t give him much time to pack, to finalize his roommate situation, and deal with two loves—one urging him to go, the other begging him to stay.

This is the third and final book in the Quinton’s Curious Mind series, bringing to an end Quint’s long quest to find love, friendship, and himself.
