Updated: Oct 28, 2019

Welcome to Things That Make Readers go Hmm...


So many big reads have dropped this year and this month. Here’s a few I didn’t want you to miss! Plus some great lists to check out with future 2019 YA releases not to be missed.



The Book of Dust Volume Two – The Secret Commonwealth by Philip Pullman.

Return to the parallel world of His Dark Materials in the second volume of Philip Pullman’s new bestselling masterwork The Book of Dust, and discover what comes next for Lyra. The title alone is enough for you to need to read this one. Fun Fact – Michael Sheen narrates the audiobooks for this series. Find it HERE







Angel Mage by Garth Nix

This is a first in series. Set in an alternate 17th Century where Angels can be summoned and controlled by those with magic. It’s already on my To Be Read list! Find it HERE











Hero – Book 3 Monster Series by Michael Grant.

Michael Grant delivers an unforgettable conclusion to this series while asking: What does it take to be a hero? You can binge read all three books! Find it HERE











Scars like Wings by Erin Stewart.

Not my normal read. But I loved the film WONDER and this is being called the YA answer to Wonder. Relatable, heartbreaking, and real, this is a story of resilience with a heartfelt and unflinching look at the reality of being a burn survivor and at the scars we all carry. If you like YA contempory reads I think you'll enjoy this! Find it HERE

Not a book – but Sarah J Maas so… Embers of Memory: A Throne of Glass Game. A two player card game that every Sarah J Maas fan would love for a gift. Maybe treat yourself? Find it HERE
