With beautiful illustrations and interactive pop-ups, this book is about as magical as it gets. I remember getting a book like this for Christmas as a kid, and I wouldn’t open another gift for hours! This book is the perfect gift for any kid, or adult, who loves to keep magic alive all year!

A dystopian series that will make you question the way you live your life. In my opinion, The Arc of a Scythe series is required reading for anyone 13 and up, especially those who are already fans of the genre.

"I dream sometimes about a house I’ve never seen. I should be scared, but in the dream I don’t hesitate. In my dream, I’m home." Starling House is a contemporary Southern Gothic novel about a small town, a haunted house, and a young woman trying desperately to be a Good Adult; it also happens to be my favorite 2023 release! Charming, heartbreaking, delightfully creepy, and hilariously romantic, this is a great addition to everyone's fall to-be-read list!!!

15, Indigenous, and queer, Anequs must navigate the micro- and macroagressions against her and her misfit friends (Black, Indigenous, and autistic) at a 19th century boarding school for dragoneers. A little bit steampunk and very much anticolonialist, this book of alternate history features alchemy, poly romance, and lots of speaking truth to power.

The sequel to She Who Became the Sun -- in other words, a queer alternate history of the Ming Dynasty, now with more feuds, battles, and scheming.

If you liked Percy Jackson, YuGiOh, or Pokemon Go, get this book! An ancient Chinese emperor gets stuck in an AR gaming headset, and an international adventure ensues! Zachary Ying is a great book for readers young at heart and young readers alike.
