BYL Reading Challenge discussion

I know the saying is to NOT judge a book by its cover, but when the cover is gorgeous, how can you not? So pick up a really pretty book to read this year!

Recommendations:

The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner
The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill
When the World Was Ours by Liz Kessler
Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger

I read a middle-grade book, Cinders & Sparrows, that had one of the most beautiful covers I've seen in a while. The hardcover dust jacket even has little gold sparkles on it.

This book could also count for Non-Harry Potter magic, and Portal Fantasy.

My selection for this category arrived in a BYL reading crate years ago and I'm just finally picking it up. Beyond the Bright Sea by Lauren Wolk was such a sweet story. I really enjoyed it!

I don't know how to insert a photo unfortunately.

A Sense of Self: Memory, the Brain, and Who We Are This book by an Irish psychiatrist was filled with neurobiological and psychological insights. I own the book and will reread some of the chapters that were especially new to me. Writings from the United States dominate my reading list; the cultural differences between the United States and Ireland were intriguing.
