Us Against You by Fredrik Backman
Quotes
“Anyone who feels responsibility isn’t free.”
“Anyone who feels responsibility isn’t free.”
“Exclusion is a form of exhaustion that eats its way into your skeleton.”
“You may not control everything your boys do, but you know damn well that none of them would do anything if you’d have expressly forbidden it.”
“Children are the only people who don’t have to take responsibility for anyone but themselves. The rest of us have to take responsibility for the things we cause to happen. You’re a leader. People follow you. So frankly, if you can’t take responsibility for the actions of your followers, that makes you nothing but a monster.”
“The path back to normal life is indescribably long once death has swept the feet out from under us who are left. Grief is a wild animal that drags us so far out into the darkness that we can’t imagine ever getting home again. Ever laughing again. It hurts in such a way that you can never really figure out if it actually passes, or if you just get used to it.”

Frank Zhang deserves everything.
Leo Valdez, all I want is for you to be happy.
Bob the Titan, you will always be famous. I’ll tell the sun and stars hello for you.

Escape from Valo by Alyssa Wong, Daniel José Older
5.0
Never has a Star Wars book made me laugh so hard and so often! Daniel José Older and Alyssa Wong really knocked this one out of the park. I was laughing one minute and wanting to jump into the pages to parent and hug these younglings the next. Zyle is such a character, I love them so dearly. And it was amazing to have Ram back and see what he’s been up to!
This is my favorite Star Wars book since Phase 2 (and everyone knows that’s high praise coming from me!)

Tempest Runner by Cavan Scott

Lourna Dee is that bitch, and I love her for it. I love a deep character backstory like this and how it ties into her current situation.
The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan
4.25
I have no idea how anyone waited any length of time between The Mark of Athena and The House of Hades. That year wait? I want to go back and read fan theories and fan fiction from that era so bad.
I want to take all of Leo Valdez’s pain away, I love him.
