Also of note:

I loved The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur, but it was published in 2017, so I couldn't include it in the list above! If you want to read some of my favorite Rupi Kaur poems, I shared many of them during Poetry Friday in July and August.

I listened faithfully to The Girls podcast, based on Sadie by Courtney Summers.

I enjoyed the Speak graphic novel by Laurie Halse Anderson, illustrated by Emily Carroll.

I re-read Ararat by Christopher Golden in anticipation of the forthcoming companion story, The Pandora Room, which comes out in April.

I had fun discussing the similarities and differences between the Runaways comics, novel, and television series with folks that love Marvel.

I was encouraged by the motivational non-fiction book What If You're Doing It Right? by Robin Brande.
