Also, I absolutely loved The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. Not only is it entertaining and laugh out loud funny, it also has an Indian as a main character–something that is not often found in YA lit these days. Alexei also brings aspects of his real life into the story, like the whole water on the brain thing. However, it's considered a very controversial book because it has hints of racism towards Indians (since that is what junior encounters) as well as some immaturity in it. But hey, it's all middle school health class stuff.

I also finished Daughter of Smoke and Bone just days ago. The review will be up soon since I have a queue set up and it's just gonna pop up when it's time comes (within a week). But I loved it so much. I'm sure you'll go nuts for it too!

I think this is possibly the longest comment I've ever typed out, so I'm gonna stop rambling now. But, seriously, I hope you enjoy all of these books because you got yourself a goldmine!

Happy reading (:
