The Project by Courtney Summers - In this one, two sisters lose their parents in a car accident. While one recovers in the hospital for months, the other joins a cult and disappears. I love a good cult book.

We Are the Ashes, We Are the Fire by Joy McCullough - This is a story told in poetry about a girl whose sister was raped and the rapist is set free with no jail time.
![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/Girls-I-ve-Been.jpg)
The Girls I've Been by Tess Sharpe - From what I've heard from people who have read this, it's about a girl whose mother is a con artist and has used her and made her pretend different roles to con men.
![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/Quantum-Weirdness-of-the-Almost-Kiss.jpg)
The Quantum Weirdness of the Almost Kiss by Amy Noelle Parks - This is a cute little romance about a girl who is notoriously nerdy and anxious and never wanted to date until now.
![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/Wings-of-ebony.jpg)
Wings of Ebony by J. Elle - So what I can tell from the summary, this is a book about a girl whose mother has died and she is taken by her estranged father to a fantasy land. When she comes back to check on her sister, she finds her falling prey to the gang culture that took her mother.
![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/chlorine-Sky.jpg)

![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/Love-is-a-Revolution.jpg)

![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/Taste-for-Love.jpg)
A Taste for Love by Jennifer Yen - Liza's mom turns her annual baking contest into a match-making scheme for Liza. I gotta say, I like all the Asian romance books coming out these days.
![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/Initial-Insult.jpg)
The Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis - I couldn't read last year's McGinnis book. Too gory. But this one is about a girl whose parents disappeared while driving her best friend home. Now she lives with her alcoholic grandfather while the whole town talks about them.
![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/Electric-Kingdom.jpg)
The Electric Kingdom by David Arnold - LOOK at that cover! This is a dystopian fiction set after a plague spread by flies.
![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/Last-Night-at-the-Telegraph-Club.jpg)
Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo - This is historical fiction set in 1950s Chinatown where/when it is a really bad time to be a lesbian.
![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/Iron-Raven.jpg)
The Iron Raven by Julie Kagawa - It's been a hot minute since I read a Julie Kagawa book, so I'm excited about this one. This is told from the point of view of Puck, from Shakespeare.
![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/Gilded-Ones.jpg)
The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna - This one has been getting a LOT of attention on YouTube. Deka finds out she is not entirely human, but a near-immortal and leaves her little village to join a group of warrior girls like herself.
![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/You-Have-a-Match.jpg)
You Have a Match by Emma Lord - This probably has a romance, too, but it's about a girl who finds out she has a sister who was given up for adoption.
![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/Angel-of-Greenwood.jpg)
Angel of Greenwood by Randi Pink - I'm extra stoked about this one because it's about the Race Massacre in Tulsa and we are coming up on the 100th anniversary of that event in May/June.
![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/Lore.jpg)
Lore by Alexandra Bracken - This is a Medusa story set in current times? I guess? I haven't really worked it all out yet. That's what I've got so far.
![](https://bookmark.ghost.io/content/images/2021/02/concrete-Rose.jpg)
Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas - This is the prequel to Thomas' bestselling debut book, The Hate U Give. It is about the main character in the first one's father and his life in the gang.
Woohoo!!! I did it! Hopefully, that's it for awhile.
