I really liked Alex, Approximately and Lost Girls. I've been reading some new authors to me recently and have been enjoying them. Erin Fletcher is another I've enjoyed.

I read Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me series last week, and it was not what I expected at all. I enjoyed it a whole lot!

I just read This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp, and I thought it was fantastic! It's definitely one of the most compelling books I've ever read.

This is such a hard question! I read The Distance Between Us by Kasie West and I loved that one. I am always looking for more contemporary YA! Thanks for the extra giveaway and the chance to win! :) I love finding new authors and books!

Can I really pick just one favorite? I'm not sure that's possible! However, I will say that I'm rather obsessed with the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas...

Oh I love Colleen Hoover since she started writing YA. I guess my favorite is always changing but Hopeless would be it.

The best YA contemporary novel I've read lately is Four Weeks, Five People by Jennifer Yu. Anything involving mental health always intrigues me (which is why I studied psychology in school), and this one did not disappoint.

Thanks for doing a bonus giveaway! Jeff Zentner's Goodbye Days was an emotional rollercoaster and those characters are still with me, after almost six months. I loved every second of that book.

The last YA book I read was a Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas which just... blew me away. After re-reading the whole series to read the latest book, it amazed me the breadcrumbs of information and characters you met right at the beginning and instantly dismissed actually were incredibly important later on. I admit freely I cried several times, even when you weren't supposed too.

I blog rarely, because I'm busy writing books. When I do blog, I focus on writing, friendship, family, and books. Because my family's best nicknames are private, I use their birth years for shorthand:
