BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS

Have a book/author you think I'd enjoy? Let me know here! And no, there's no such thing as too many recommendations.

So give me authors, or titles or series and maybe even let me know why you think I or everyone should read them! Please feel free to also include reading orders or any other things you think I should know.

Genres I read most often include fantasy, urban fantasy, some science-fiction, romance, mystery, as well as Teen/YA books!

AUTHOR: Holly Black
TITLE(S): The Coldest Girl in Coldtown
ABOUT: VAMPIRES. So a while back this vampire decided to be all romantic and mysterious and not kill his victims..... which led to him spreading vampirism to all those victims and vampirism getting out of control and coming out into the open and now vampires are EVERYWHERE but contained in coldtowns where you're supposed to go if you get infected. Some vampires kill everyone at a party except Tana and her ex-boyfriend, who is infected. The two of them, along with a vampire the other vampires had been keeping prisoner, head out to figure out wtf to do and get entangled in drama and vampire politics along the way. Also romance.

If the amazingly gripping plot isn't enough... THERE IS SO MUCH DIVERSITY. Like sexually, racially, gender identity-fully.... so many people who aren't cis white het. And there are tumblr gifs of the vampires. Like within the book, they talk about vampire gifs. IT'S AWESOME.

SO MUCH GOOD. Her Modern Faerie Tale series that's basically.... a fairy tale but with swearing and gay people and all that other stuff you don't usually get as well as a lot of murder and shit is also awesome. Plus White Cat and its sequels which are about mobsters that can do magic. I'M KIND OF IN LOVE WITH HER.
