Hello Readers! 
I've ended my maternity leave and my next day back at my library is this Monday! 

Here's what I've added to my shelves since last time:

The Slow Regard of Silent Things by Patrick Rothfuss 
(The Name of the Wind, 2.5)
Recently completed. Review coming soon!

Tongues of Serpents by Naomi Novik (Temeraire, 6)
Recently completed. Review coming soon!

The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman
Recently competed. Review coming soon!

Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
Recently completed. 
This won the YALSA Morris Award for 2016, and I loved it. If you don't read much YA (or not much contemporary YA), this is a must read.


The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Recently completed.
Another must-read YA novel that I FULLY expect will win some sort of YALSA award in January. I was in tears at the ending both because of it and because of how on-point it was.

The Ship of Brides by Jojo Moyes
Recently completed.
I'm currently reading through other Moyes works, and this one is not as romantic and fluffy as some of her others. It covers perspectives of four different war brides coming from Australia to England, and the unique journeys suffered by similar women in history.

An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon (Outlander, 7)
Recently completed.

AND...

Written in My Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon (Outlander, 8)
Currently reading.
I'm sure we have some Outlander fans in this mix! (Aren't you dying for tomorrow's episode? I am!) I've been reading through the Outlander series for the first time this past year, but trying to pace it out to give myself time to come out of the obsession, and I'm almost caught up! I haven't decided whether to read the Lord John novels yet, but will be reading the relevant series novellas in her new compilation soon-ish. 

That's it for me for now until I start back into my beloved YA with work! 
What do you have to add this week?

Kara is a teen librarian living in the southeastern US with her husband (who listens to books), young daughter (who sleeps with books), and dog (who tastes the books). She loves all sorts of books, but mostly YA, and will never catch up to all of the wonderful things to read.

    You got some wonderful looking books! I really loved The Hate U Give and I think everyone should read it. I didn't know that JoJo Moyes had this book out, so I will check it out. Have a good week.

    Simon is a fave of mine. I started The Invisible Library, but need to continue the series. I am the worst at finishing series.

    Wow, I don't know how you read those Outlander books so fast! I find big books daunting, so I keep putting off tackling them. Good on you! Hope your return to work goes well!
