Do u have any books that are objectively bad but you love it will all your heart?
I don't think i have read any 'objectively' bad book and still loved it if i like something it can't be bad 4 me rly but there are exceptions like the ruins by scott smith and braised pork by an yu which i rated low but then thought about for months... There's also books somewhere in the middle mostly forgotten by people that are v dear to me like the square root of summer by harriet reuter hapgood or a concise chinese-english dictionary for lovers by xiaolu guo!

I don’t understand why books have changed from having summaries on the back of covers to having one line reviews.
Like seriously. I want to know what the book is about. Not that someone from the evening standard thinks it’s a masterpiece.

Tuesday’s Treats is a weekly blog post dedicated to newly released books that I’m most excited for. (Books are in no particular order.)
All books featured this week will be released: APR. 30th
1.  How to be Luminous: Harriet Reuter Hapgood (goodreads) (book depository)
For as long as she can remember, it’s been Minnie and her sisters against the world. Together, they’ve grown up without fathers, lived with their mother’s mental highs and lows, all the while living an artist’s eccentric lifestyle. But when their mother disappears, Minnie, who is supposed to follow in their mother’s artistic footsteps, starts to see the world without color. The more time their mother is missing, the further the sisters fall apart, and Minnie starts to worry that she’s lost more than just her mind.
YA Contemporary Fiction; Roaring Brook Press/Macmillan, Hardcover (US)
2. Hot Dog Girl: Jennifer Dugan (goodreads) (book depository)
Elouise, a.k.a. Lou, is determined to have the best summer of her life…even though the universe seems to be a bit against her. First she gets a job as a giant hot dog at Magic Castle Playland. Then her crush, a crush like she’s never had before, already has a girlfriend. Then her best friend who’s usually game for anything, doesn't want Lou’s help in finding her a girlfriend. Then she finds out that this is Magic Castle Playland’s last summer, unless she finds a way to stop it from closing. Lou's summer may not be easy, but it definitely will be unforgettable.
YA Contemporary Fiction, Romance, LGBTQIA+; Putnam/Penguin, Hardcover (US)
3. Love from A to Z: S.K. Ali (goodreads) (book depository)
Zayneb is angry. As the only Muslin in her class, she has to listen to her teacher who continuously reminds her class how “bad” Muslims are. After she confronts her teacher — and gets suspended for it — and her teacher finds ways to get her “activist” friends in trouble too, Zayneb travels to her aunt’s house in Qatar for an early start to spring break. While she’s there, she decides that she’s going to try and be a “nicer” version of herself. Then she meets Adam.
Adam, too, is trying to be someone he’s not. He’s trying to not be a person recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis; someone who makes things and keeps them together, like his family. He keeps everything about him secret, only revealing his true thoughts in his journal. Then he meets Zayneb.
YA Contemporary Fiction, Romance; Salaam Reads/Simon & Schuster, Hardcover (US)

i think it’s kind of cool how some authors incorporate maths into their YA books. maths is usually so dreary so it’s awesome that we can read fun books that take some of the dread out of the subject :)
