Two weeks into 2025 and I know this will be a strong contender for my best read of the year. Dual timeline, a strong fantasy element, realistic characters and setting, a strong female protagonist... LOVE IT. If you've had this on your list for a while, don't hesitate. #ASDWreads

Lord of the Flies meets The Handmaid's Tale, this powerfully gripping YA dystopian story kept me hooked from beginning to end. Tierney, a strong and brave female protagonist, fights against injustice and for what she believes. The Grace Year is a must-read! #ASDWreads

An amazing duology and atypical for me, I liked the second book even better than the first. I was rooting for Iris and Roman, and I loved Iris's strong female character. I was impressed that the ending was positive without being a happily ever after ending. #ASDWreads

Lord is quickly becoming an auto-read author for me. This is such a sweet YA Romance with well-written characters who grow as a result of the conflict. Andy's internal struggles remind me so much of my own. I feel seen. I love how the title was woven into the story. #ASDWreads

A MUST read for everyone who has or works with children of any age. It is eye-opening to what tech companies are doing, knowingly, harmful to children's mental health and development. More importantly, it tells us how to take back our power and mitigate the damage. #ASDWreads

Book 2 in the Skyland series by @kennedyrwrites was every bit as good as the first. Ryan has a way of making you root for her characters. An FBI raid, twins with autism, a rising social media influencer, and a dad goes to prison. Bring on book 3! #ASDWreads

A beautiful tribute to slow readers with big imaginations. A big hug to my inner child who was, and despite the amount I read, still is a slow reader. This is a must book for every elementary classroom! #ASDWreads

Set in a dystopia where reproductive rights extend into a child's teenage years, Unwind is the story of Connor, Risa, and Lev on the run from being "unwound", becoming unwilling organ donors. This is a story I will definitely share with my HS students. #ASDWreads

“Books help us see ourselves but they’re supposed to challenge us, too, show us worlds and experiences that are different from our own. Books help us open doors. We’re here asking you not to slam those doors in our faces. Let us read.” #ASDWReads #ShelfieTalk
