TOP 5 SATURDAY (8/8/20)–UNDERRATED BOOKS/HIDDEN GEMS
Spare and Found Parts, Sarah Maria Griffin

The second I saw this prompt, I knew I had to include something by Griffin; her prose is almost unparalleled, and this was one of my favorite reads of 2019.

I hardly see anyone talking about this series, which is…definitely a crime. Some of the most inventive and well-written YA sci-fi I’ve ever come across, and I don’t say that lightly.
A Conspiracy of Stars, Olivia A. Cole

Another criminally underrated and lushly written YA sci-fi! The worldbuilding is some of the most well-developed that I’ve ever seen of a book of this kind.
Into the Crooked Place, Alexandra Christo

I just reviewed this one this week, so I’ll keep this short: I CANNOT WAIT FOR BOOK 2.
The Order of Odd-Fish, James Kennedy

A bizarre, Monty Python-esque romp of a middle grade novel!
I TAG ANYONE WHO WANTS TO PARTICIPATE!

Today’s song:
That’s it for this week’s Top 5 Saturday! Have a wonderful rest of your day, and take care of yourselves!
