This was kind of a tough week for me as I’ve read a string of YA books recently that were just not as good as I wanted them to be. But still! I’ve managed to put together a (rather dark and murdery) list of the top 10 books I’ve read so far this year:

If you’re a
Greek mythology nerd like me, you’ll love this beautiful take on Homer’s Iliad told from the perspective of
Achilles’ lifelong companion Patroclus. It’s an intimate look at the boys’
relationship both before and during the Trojan War. Miller’s prose is lush and
gorgeous, too. Definitely the best book I have read this year!
