Now that I'm working full-time as a young adult librarian I haven't been posting nearly as much, but I wanted to at least do my end of the year lists! 1) Ms. Marvel: Generation Why by G. Willow Wilson I love this comic series overall, but this one so clearly nails a lot of the things I've heard from teens recently. Their annoyance at older generations misjudging and underestimating them, their ability to come together despite differences, and their genuine desire to make their worlds a better place. Kamala Khan is just a fabulous protagonist overall, relatably trying to juggle her friends, family, faith, education, and, oh yeah, newfound superpowers. Plus, the cameos. The cameos. So many familiar faces from the Marvel universe have appeared, which is especially fun because Kamala is such an unabashed fangirl. I really can't praise this series highly enough- just go check it out for yourself. 2) Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson Sensing a theme? 2015 was a huge year for ...
He had held a secret that destroyed her world.
Everything she had known was no longer true.
Blaire couldn’t stop loving him but she knew she could never forgive him.
Now, she was back home and learning to live again. Moving on with life… until something happened to send her world spinning once again.
What do you do when the one person you can never trust again is the one that you need to trust so desperately?
You lie, hide, avoid, and pray that your sins never find you out.

Never too Far is yet again another emotion filled and very sizzling instalment in the Too Far series. I actually think I may be addicted to Abbi Glines books!
The storyline picks up right after the previous book and the highs and lows take you on one hell of a ride right from the off. Blaire's life is still in tatters after the secrets and lies that nearly destroyed her in the last book. Rush kept important things back from her and she can't forgive or forget.
I loved how more rounded the characters became in this book. We see a whole new side to the normally arrogant Rush, his softer more vulnerable side came out and it was really nice to see. I still think Blaire is a fantastically strong and admirable main character, who makes some good choices and stands tall in some tough and trying situations.
Sometimes I wanted to hit Rush over the head with something big and heavy....stupid infuriating man....grrrr!
There were a lot of times throughout this book that I was choked up...I can't say why though because of spoilers ;) Abbi Glines has a way with words.
Never too Far is a delicious read that is full of drama, emotion, bitchiness and sexual tension. The characters are fantastic and have the most electric chemistry. I've already picked up my next Glines book...hands up....I'm addicted!
4 / 5 Stars
