    • Top Books in 2020 Part Two: Best Young Adult and Middle Grade Fiction

      Posted at 9:12 am by Mrs. Ram Jam, on January 1, 2021

      Part two is here!

      I ended up reading way less young adult and middle grade literature this year for some bizarre reason. Maybe because I read more nonfiction? And while I only had one five star YA/MG read this year, the four star books on this list are totally excellent and binge-able.

      1. Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender–published 2020–young adult LGBT–four stars.

      1. A Curse So Dark and Lonely (Cursebreakers #1) by Brigid Kemmerer–published 2019–young adult fantasy–four stars.
