BTS – A BOOK EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT
The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai is a new and popular release that I’ve seen in the bookstores and all over social media. This cozy mystery revolves around a mysterious restaurant, delicious recipes, and piecing together clues from the customers past. It has a cozy setting and overall light-hearted feel as each chapter delves into a special food item the Kamogawas are asked to replicate per their request.
EXO – FAVORITE COMPANION NOVEL
Bookshops & Bonedust which is a companion novel to Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree. While the former novel was a cozy and heartwarming fantasy about bringing a new coffee shop in a small town and how business comes to life. Bookshops & Bonedust focuses on Viv’s discovery of an intriguing little bookshop by the sea and her newfound love of reading.
NU’EST – BOOKS THAT DON’T GET THE ATTENTION THEY DESERVE
Quincredible Vol. 1: Quest to Be the Best! by Rodney Barnes. Quinn is a teenager with the power of invulnerability that makes him practically indestructible. And as we find in action-packed scenes, we see how his abilities come into use and the minimal damage that he can take in a fight due to his powers.
ASTRO – A BOOK THAT GAVE YOU A HAPPY FEELING WHILE READING
Stand Up, Yumi Chung by Jessica Kim is a beautiful and empowering middle-grade novel that not only weaves together a tale of immigrant struggles but also is a message about loving yourself. I think many readers (myself included) can relate to Yumi’s struggles of following the path she wants and fighting against the decisions that have been made for her.
MONSTA X – A BOOK CONTAINING A DIVERSE SET OF CHARACTERS
While Dead Dead Girls by Nekesa Afia is mainly a murder mystery I loved how it has a Black amateur sleuth (Louise) at the helm of the story who tries to find the dark truth behind missing Black girls who end up dead in her neighborhood. . The novel has a diverse cast at the helm of the narrative and LGBTQ representation as well.
A.C.E – A FAVOURITE RECENT RELEASE
Where the Dark Stands Still by A.B. Poranek! The novel whisks readers away to world that blends fantasy with the mundane as Liska, the main character seeks answers to getting rid of her magic deep within a spirit-wood. What she finds in a demon named the Leszy and a place full of secrets that she must uncover to find out the truth.
BLACKPINK – A BOOK THAT STICKS OUT FROM THE REST OF ITS GENRE
Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin. The magical elements enticed me along with some of my favorite tropes: enemies-to-lovers and an arranged marriage. What really made this book work for me was the narration of the audiobook . It got me instantly hooked into the story because the characters voiced by the actors constantly kept my attention.
SEVENTEEN – A BOOK WITH MULTIPLE POV’S
Love Radio by Ebony LaDelle follows the narrative of two teens, Prince and Danielle, through alternating povs. The juxtapositions of the two make for an interesting romance to bloom and pulls the reader into the story immediately.
SHINEE – A MODERN CLASSIC
Kindred by Octavia Butler! Butler is a fantastic writer and I loved how she created the characters, attention to detail, crafting the plot, and exploring race through a Sci-Fi lens. Butler paints a very real portrait of history and this book shows many horrors of the past.
SISTAR – A SERIES YOU WISH NEVER ENDED
The Grave Mercy series by Robin LaFevers. The series is set in a convent is a secret, mysterious place where the girls/young women all receive gifts from Death and obtain deadly skills; whether it’s learning about potions or being trained as ultra cool snipers.
RAIN – FAVOURITE STANDALONE
I have so many, but a recent one that stands out is Rust In The Root by Justina Ireland. The novel follows the main character, Laura, who lives in a world divided full of technology and magic. When she joins the Bureau of the Arcane’s Conservation Corps, she quickly learns the job is more than she signs on for.

Hah! What a fun way to present these categories!
I really liked Dead Dead Girls too. And Kindred (obviously)! Quincredible is new to me (you’ve probably mentioned it before, I know!) but it looks great: I think I can get it via ILL.
I think Quincredible should be available via the library. As of now, I think there are only two volumes in the series.
