Tea Cakes for Tosh by Kelly Starling Lyons
Genre: (Children’s) Fiction
The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa
Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a walled-in city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten. Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of them—the vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself dies and becomes one of the monsters.
Forced to flee her city, Allie must pass for human as she joins a ragged group of pilgrims seeking a legend—a place that might have a cure for the disease that killed off most of civilization and created the rabids, the bloodthirsty creatures who threaten human and vampire alike. And soon Allie will have to decide what and who is worth dying for again. - Goodreads
Genre: Young Adult Fiction
Wild by Ben Okri
Ranging across a wide variety of subjects, from the autobiographical to the philosophical, from war to love, from nature to the difficulty of truly seeing, these poems reconfigure the human condition, in unusual light, through their mastery of tone and condensed brilliance. - Goodreads

REVIEWS
Let’s Get Lost by Adi Alsaid
I’d recommend this book for anyone interested in travel-themed YA that’s pretty typical of its genre, but a lighthearted and nice read in the end.
