GLADIATOR X POWERLESS

What would you do to protect those you love?

You’d BLEED.

Him for revenge.

Her to protect.

But in the arena, the false queen only cares that you bleed to…

DEATH.

Devoured this dark and twisted tale by Sally Gardner today. It’s a retelling of Hans Christian Anderson’s first story, The Tinderbox. David Roberts’s illustrations are stunning and add to the horror of the story. Definitely an upperYA+ story.
The book, Tinder, written by Sally Gardner. Striking cover illustration by David Roberts, of a giant white werewolf looming over a medieval village. Black and white Illustration by David Roberts of a werewolf with bulging eyes carrying a fainted maiden under a full moon. It’s called The Prophecy and the date is 1642. Gorgeous black and white illustration by David Roberts of a dining table laden with wine, fruit, meat, cheese and breads.

Never Lost Review Spotlight
Never Lost is the final book in Everly Claire’s dystopian style forbidden romance series. Louisa and her star-crossed lover will face an uphill battle against the system that has seen him a slave, and threatened her with the potential of being one herself. But the end will finally see the conclusion that readers will have been looking for. Author Claire, thankfully, gives readers a recap when you pick this book up.

A collage of aesthetic pictures featuring a lake dock, a messy bed, a cross, a boy tanning, a cabin, an old truck interior, a campfire, a shadow of a couple kissing, a beer can, and a couple interlocking their pinkies. IN THE NAME OF YOU in song lyrics featuring the chorus of The Great Divide by Noah Kahan, the outro of Summer Skin by Death Cab for Cutie, and the end of Verse 2 of American Teenager by Ethel Cain. IN THE NAME OF YOU in quotes from the manuscript featuring "I'm not a summer-camp, church-on-Sunday, praise-and-worship, wait-for-marriage kind of girl," "we are sacred, you and me in this moment, and I could never, would never forsake it," "this is what God wanted for his children, for us to feel just as weightless and defying and cosmic as I feel in this moment thanks to Sloane Miller and her cinnamon tongue," and "this isn't how our story ends, it's how it begins."

Jessica Warman's REPEAT AFTER ME keeps popping up in my head. Apparently, my subconscious mind thinks you need an escape from reality for a few hours.
