I tried The Burning Maze by Rick Riordan and I just couldn’t. I couldn’t remember anything from the first book so I couldn’t understand anything. I tried Our Dark Duet which is the sequel to This Savage Song, a book that I adored back in the day, and I failed. I decided to do a check to see if there was a slight chance for my huge collection of unread ya books. Even if I do pick them up one day, I don’t think I’ll like them anyway.īut still, there are too many books and I want to clear out my shelves to get new books. Most of them are fantasy and dystopian which I’m fairly sure that I won’t pick them up ever.

There are still, unfortunately, a mountain of young adult novels on my physical TBR bookshelves. I’m actually conducting an experiment to see whether I’ve outgrown my ya phase or not since I’ve been reading mainly thrillers for the past five years. I’m always fascinated by books that discuss lgbt+ since most of them are informative and heartwarming. To be honest, this is one of the best ya books that I’ve read in the past few years. It was heartbreaking to get into Morgan’s head to feel what was on his mind. The author had experienced all of these herself therefore, she was able to pen out her feelings.

I growl and give the order, over and over. It is a story about finding yourself, voicing your thoughts and standing up for what you believe.

Whilst Eric tried to be a good boy in the family even though he had started to see signs that things might not be as beautiful as they seemed under this roof. Throughout the years, Morgan tried to fit in with his teenage classmates and tried to dismiss the idea that he might be transgender. The author told this story on each year of their birthday from thirteen to eighteen. I started with Birthday because I’d always liked to read books about lgbt+ community to get to know more about different genders and orientations.Įric and Morgan were best friends who shared the same birth date. If I ended up not enjoying any of the books meant for younger readers, then I’d know that it was over for me. I didn’t know what to do, so I made a list of ten books with five young adult books in it to see if I had actually outgrown my YA phase. That got me panicked since there were so many YA books on my shelf, like about four hundred. The thing was that I thought I had outgrown my YA phase. I bought it back when I read a lot of young adult novels.

Birthday had been sitting on my shelf for years.
