There are so many amazing books out there that it can be overwhelming to choose what I’m going to read. I enjoy Fantasy, Sci-fi and Mystery books but these are broad categories with so many books to choose from. Luckily with the help of some recommendations, I’ve been able to narrow down the list (Thank you to Iasmina Edina<\/a> on Youtube and Ellie of ReadtoRamble<\/a> Blog). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the books were on my Goodreads Want to Read shelf. I will read these novels in 2021. The list contains books and sequels in series I started long ago but I have not gotten around to yet. I have purchased most of these novels and look forward to checking them out and giving you my thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wish me luck, this might a WHILE. Let\u2019s see how many I can finish if any!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amari and the Night Brothers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

by B.B. Alston<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quinton Peters was the golden boy of the Rosewood low-income housing projects, receiving full scholarship offers to two different Ivy League schools. When he mysteriously goes missing, his little sister, 13-year-old Amari Peters, can\u2019t understand why it\u2019s not a bigger deal. Why isn\u2019t his story all over the news? And why do the police automatically assume he was into something illegal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Amari discovers a ticking briefcase in her brother\u2019s old closet. A briefcase meant for her eyes only. There was far more to Quinton, it seems, than she ever knew. He\u2019s left her a nomination for a summer tryout at the secretive Bureau of Supernatural Affairs. Amari is certain the answer to finding out what happened to him lies somewhere inside, if only she can get her head around the idea of mermaids, dwarves, yetis and magicians all being real things, something she has to instantly confront when she is given a weredragon as a roommate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amari must compete against some of the nation\u2019s wealthiest kids\u2014who\u2019ve known about the supernatural world their whole lives and are able to easily answer questions like which two Great Beasts reside in the Atlantic Ocean and how old is Merlin? Just getting around the Bureau is a lesson alone for Amari with signs like \u2018Department of Hidden Places this way, or is it?\u2019 If that all wasn\u2019t enough, every Bureau trainee has a talent enhanced to supernatural levels to help them do their jobs \u2013 but Amari is given an illegal ability. As if she needed something else to make her stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an evil magician threatening the whole supernatural world, and her own classmates thinking she is an enemy, Amari has never felt more alone. But if she doesn\u2019t pass the three tryouts, she may never find out what happened to Quinton.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
