I've realized that 16 books is not many. Despite having a birthday in a few weeks and a wishlist of mostly books, I've got a respectable to-obtain list for the year.
No Baggage: A Minimalist Tale of Love and Wandering by Clara Bensen
Sex Object by Jessica Valenti
Shrill by Lindy West
The Geek Feminist Revolution edited by Kameron Hurley
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J. K. Rowling
Afterlife with Archie Vol 2 by Robert Aguirre-Sacasa
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Vol 1 by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
Fortunately, only two of those are available right now and I'm abiding by my rule to buy nothing before my birthday. I have no idea what is taking the Archie trades so long. tIt will have been over 2 years since the first trade came out when they finally released the second. It's like they're trying to get people to lose interest in the series.
I think it's possible to abide by my 16 book limit but my 2 thus far plus a potential 2 from the reddit exchange (if my Santa is good) plus the list above gives me a grand total of 11. Thank gods for libraries. Speaking of libraries...
I've been watching a ton of BookTube with my favorites being BooksandLala, BooksandQuills, and Books and Pieces. A lot of BookTubers are either young or really into young adult (PeruseProject, Ariel Bissett, ABookUtopia etc.). So I've been seeing a lot of YA flash by and I want to see what the buzz is all about. I won't have a chance to hit the library before the 27th but I plan on checking out at least 2 or 3 of the following:
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han
Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek by Maya Van Wagenen
Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer
Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira
The Future of Us by Jay Asher
Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
These are all titles that sparked my interest so we'll see what someone who is thisclose to 29 thinks about reading stuff for teenagers.
