    I have read a few of them, and quite a bunch of them are in my TBR pile for this month, so I hope I’ll get to as many of them as possible! And once those are read, I’ll be adding more to the TBR pile for sure!

    The Fire Horse Girl is so freaking fun and covers a part of history that I haven’t seen discussed at all! Jade Moon also has a most excellent voice! It’s a must read! 😀

    There’s a few books on here that are new to me, so I’ll have to go check them out!

    Thank you so much for the shoutout and for including UtL here – I love love love this list! And I did not know Padma Venakatraman had another book out – her covers are so gorgeous!

    I loved the list of the books, there’s a few on that list that I’ve picked that I’m going to try and pick up this month, and see if I can’t get at least one or two of them read. I was a little sad to see that there weren’t that many NA books on there, like Seth and Greyson by Jessica Sorensen. It’s a fantastic book. 🙂

      I don’t read/know of a lot of NA which is why it’s not on there but I think I’ll start to dip my toes into it which is when I’ll spotlight all of those books!

    Great list! I’ve read some of these and I want to read a lot of them! Though I’m a tad disappointed Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli, my favorite book of the year and possibly all-time, isn’t anywhere on this list. 🙁

      I have read that one and I do love it!! I just tried to make the list with some titles people may have yet to read or just didn’t know were diverse.
