Spring break is a great time to catch up and read books that have been sitting on your "To Be Read" (TBR) list for months. With schoolwork out of the way, there's plenty of time to relax! Over this spring break, I compiled a list of books I'm hoping to read before I got back to school.
1. The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater
I put this book first because I'm dying to figure out how this series ends! It's always exciting to see if you're right about your predictions. In general, this magical series is easy to become immersed in, and I'm excited to read more of Maggie Stiefvater's work after completing this series.
2. Want by Cindy Pon
"Want" has been on my TBR list since I first saw the cover on Twitter. Taiwanese based sci-fi? Sign me up for that; I've always been interested and excited to see what the world has to offer outside of the mainstream, and naturally, gravitate towards this diverse and unique plots!
3. And I Darken by Kiersten White
Not only is the cover of this book beautiful and intriguing, but it's a Vlad the Impaler retelling! It follows the POV of two siblings, and I've heard the characters are rich. I love stories that are driven by character, plus this is a series! If I manage to finish this book, I may be picking up another couple books after it.
4. The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang
I've been in love with Jen Wang's art since I read "In Real Life," so once I discovered she created another graphic novel, I knew I had to pick it up and read it. I might be cheating on this one, since I've already read it. Still, with graphic novels, I feel like I enjoy reading them twice to get a little extra enjoyment out of it.
5. Our Dark Duet by Victoria Schwab
Alternatively, any book by Victoria Schwab that I haven't read yet. But for the sake of this list, we're going to go with a book I've started and desperately want to finish. I'm intrigued by this strange world Schwab created, and want to figure out what's happening with the new monsters being introduced!
