My first 5⭐️ in 16 months (yes, really). The Will of the Many by @IslingtonJames
Absolutely blown away, no I am not alright, yes I will be a problem until the next comes out.
⭐️ My Top 10 of 2024! ⭐️ It was a rough reading year for me, feel like I never quite got out of the slump. But some were brilliant sparks in the fog ❤️❤️ Here's to a great 2025!
(in no particular order)
Fantasy/Hist-Fic readers! I'm looking for some books that have REALLY good opening chapters. Drama, intrigue, mystery, devastation, whichever books that have really nailed the beginning. Mine sometimes feel flat and I'm looking to study 🧐 Thank you! ❤️

After the article, more book recommendations for teen boy readers have come in from you lovely people, so I've made a couple more lists. Again, I'm trying to keep these to titles published in the last 10 years (with the occasional exception). Any more recs, please share!
At Max Mins Portishead there were a handful of boys 11-15 who LOVED reading but found it really hard to find books for them. They were some of our fave customers and we loved keeping them well-stocked, but were definitely running out of options. Please keep books coming! ❤️

So here’s a bit more about that 🧵
