I can't believe I made y'all wait so long for this! I promised this in my Taylor Swift album analysis post and it took me longer to deliver than I thought. When folklore and evermore came out, I knew I wanted to write full track matches, just like I did for Lover last January. It just takes some time to come up with the matches. Finally, here I am, with another monument to my love for Taylor Swift. Let me know in the comments if you agree! All reviews, if applicable, are linked to the title of the novel if you'd like to hear more about a particular book. the 1

As much as I love books and reading, I am a woman of many interests! I love reading books where characters love STEM subjects too! Today, I'd like to share some recommendations for YA books featuring themes of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. If you'd like to purchase any of them, don't hesitate to visit my Bookshop, where I've created a shelf so you can shop this list! (Gentle reminder that these are affiliate links, more info in sidebar) I've got seven out-now recs for you, and a bonus upcoming release that I'm super excited for. Many of the novels on this list feature coding and technology, and that representation is super important! I also want to leave space to acknowledge that we need more books featuring bio, chem, physics, and math students too! This is why I'm so looking forward to Ann LaBar's Prom Theory, out March 30, 2021.
As a person with a public platform, I’ve been thinking over the past couple of weeks on the best way to share my spotlight and use my privilege to educate others. Therefore, I’m sharing this post today in the hopes that my white and non-Black POC readers will pick up books by Black authors all year round, not just when it’s trending. Open yourself to experiences and worldviews different from your own, even if it seems uncomfortable to do so. There are so many resources out there to help you cope with your part in the systematic oppression that devalues Black lives every day, and many more to teach you how to rise up against it. Today, I want to suggest reading not only non-fiction and memoirs, but also fiction and SFF as both can be powerful tools of storytelling. To that end, this list is comprised of works from both YA and Adult authors of the past and present. Caveat: I’m only one person, and this list is curated! Read beyond it—there are so many more amazing works by Black authors out there.
I've been in a major witch phase recently. It's definitely to do with the fact that I just finished The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, but regardless I need a little magic in my life! To fill that void, here's my longest rec list yet: 20 witchy books sure to set your spine acrawl.
Hello! I'm so sorry these took so long to get out, but here is a list of books for your perusal. They are all, in fact, nautically themed. I wish I could have found more scifi, though. That seems like such an interesting intersection--the cross between the deep blue and the technological. Regardless, I present this list, as well as this link to a previous oceanic rec list of mine, Sea Sorcery. Reviews: Seafire House of Salt and Sorrows (a personal favorite of mine) FantasyScience FictionInto the Drowning Deep Mira Grant MysteryHistorical Fiction & ContemporaryHi friend! Some recs for you--let me know which ones you read! Reviewed: Lovely War by Julie Berry Furyborn by Claire Legrand Most Likely by Sarah Watson All the Bad Apples by Moïra Fowley-Doyle The Stars and the Blackness Between Them by Junauda Petrus Upcoming: We Didn't Ask for This by Adi Alsaid Historical FictionScience FictionFantasyContemporaryRomanceIn August 2019, Taylor Swift released her seventh studio album, Lover, and I'm still not over it. The whole collection is a work of art. It's mastery. It's my favorite of her albums to date. When I heard Lover, I knew instantly that I had to do a YA book match-up for it. Four months later, and I think I've got it right. Let me know below if you agree! I Forgot That You Existed
