The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
by Suzanne Collins
Origin story for the main villain in the Hunger Games. It left me truly conflicted over hating him. Soon to be made into a movie.

Dust
by Kara Swanson
A wonderful retelling of Peter Pan.

The Red Ribbon
by Pepper Basham
Loved this sweet novel set in early 1900s that’s based on real events. The main characters are fictional, but the town and many of the events are real. It was atmospheric and the mountain setting added to the suspense.

The Cul-de-Sac War
by Melissa Ferguson
This was full of fun, quirky characters and the war was definitely more realistic (not overly dramatic) which I loved. At the core is a sweet love story between two stubborn people–my favorite kind.

Healthy as F*ck
by Oonagh Duncan
Fair warning: You can probably tell from the title that there’s LOTS of cursing in this book, but it changed my health for the better.
