Sponsored by The Hollow Heart by Marie Rutkoski with Fierce Reads.
“The Hollow Heart is a doorway to a world of magic, vengeance, and romance that will keep you guessing until the last pages.” —Cassandra Clare, New York Times-bestselling author of the Shadowhunter Chronicles
Intrigue, romance, and magic abound in The Hollow Heart, the heart-stopping conclusion to Marie Rutkoski’s Forgotten Gods duology.

New YA Books This Week
*A note from Kelly*: Please note that with supply chain issues, paper supply challenges, and the pandemic more broadly, publication dates are changing at a pace I can’t keep up with. Some release dates may be pushed back. If a book catches your attention, the smartest thing to do right now is to preorder it or request it from your library. It’ll be a fun surprise when it arrives. This goes, too, for any books you might be planning to purchase for the holidays — the sooner you pick up the hard copies, if that’s your preference, the better.
