My Week In Books (1st April)

I thought this would be a quiet week for books, but how wrong I was. Here's what I acquired!

  • Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 
  • The Wildings by Nilanjana Roy
  • The Hundred Names of Darkness by Nilanjana Roy
  • Becoming Betty by Eleanor Wood 
  • The State of Grace by Rachael Lucas 

There's also a few new reads on my Kindle!

I finished reading The State of Grace this week, which was wonderful (review here). I drifted between books for a while before starting The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli.

Finally, Stripes Publishing made a very exciting announcement this week!

REVIEW: The State of Grace by Rachael Lucas

The State of Grace is Rachael Lucas’  debut YA novel, and tells the story of Grace, a teenager with Asperger’s, as she finds her way in the world.


The State of Grace is a beautifully told story that I couldn’t put down. As an Own Voices book, you really get a sense of Grace and who she is, and this will show that there is more to those with Asperger’s than the labels we put on them. Grace is a funny and sensitive narrator, and her story will reach out to everyone who reads it.

Stars: ★★★★☆

I was sent a copy of The State of Grace by Pan Macmillan in exchange for an honest review.
