History isn’t everything
Adam Silvera is a really good author if you want a YA gay realistic fiction with a twist.
In this heartbreaking endeavor, the twist is that our main character is addressing the entire novel to his dead first love, using “you” throughout the “Today” sections to speak directly to him. Silvera plays with time and pieces together the mystery of Theo and Griff’s past beautifully.

Is it possible to add more categories to the books section? I have just added a book and found it very hard to classify it, all that fit was fiction and poetry which is not the most helpful classification. Perhaps a way to classify the book as adult or for mature audiences as well as dark romance would be helpful as just using the romance option feels very misleading. Thanks (:

I agree that fiction and poetry should be separate, and Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Historical fiction should also be a category, and there should be some sort of differentiation between the different kinds of Romance (erotica? If you don’t read it, I doubt you’d want to accidentally read about it!). I’ll have a think about others.

I don’t know what you would call this but perhaps some way to know if a book is a complete story or not. I know quite often in a series each book is about a different character within the same world, therefore each book is a complete story and you don’t necessarily need to have read the other books to still enjoy that one. I hope this makes sense (:

In continuation of the first book, William Laurence and Temeraire will have to deal with the fall out of China finding out that Laurence has stolen Temeraire from Napoleon. They travel to China hoping they can stay together.
Laurence has way more patience then most although his temper is something to behold. the descriptions of the voyage and China are gorgeous in this wonderful alt history fiction.

Not your usual Atwood story
Compared to other Atwood stories the heart goes last takes a different look on modern relationships while also addressing an odd storyline aha, not your usual dystopian fiction but does still have Atwood traits. I found it funny at times and it does stick out, I do usually recommend this book if anyone asks!

This series is so good. I am a big sci-fi fan and this has all the things that are great about science fiction. I love the book series that the show is based on and the show does a fantastic job of staying as true to the books as possible. I just finished season 4 and it is amazing in the storytelling and the cast is fantastic.
