"I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship." – Louisa May Alcott
I'm going to be honest by saying my expectations for this book was sky-high, for the usual reasons. It's John Green's brother, the hype surrounding this was pretty big, and it says THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER on the back.
Today I'm going to tell you about some books that have recently been published or will be published later this year. These books haven't gotten as much limelight as I think they deserve, so feel free to try them out!

Today, I'll be talking about The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien!
This was another one of my most anticipated books! This cover called my name and the book description reminded me of Nina and Matthias (and who doesn't want more of the enemies-to-lovers trope?).
The moment I saw this cover, I knew I had to read it. The moment I read that it was a Mulan meets Project Runway story, I knew I had to own the physical copy of this book. The hype leading up to this made me so nervous. What if my expectations were too high? What if I expected too much from this book and I end up disappointed? Well, friends, I most definitely was not disappointed.
