Prince Sebastian is looking for a bride―or rather, his parents are looking for one for him. Sebastian is too busy hiding his secret life from everyone. At night he puts on daring dresses and takes Paris by storm as the fabulous Lady Crystallia―the hottest fashion icon in the world capital of fashion!
Sebastian’s secret weapon (and best friend) is the brilliant dressmaker Frances―one of only two people who know the truth: sometimes this boy wears dresses. But Frances dreams of greatness, and being someone’s secret weapon means being a secret. Forever. How long can Frances defer her dreams to protect a friend?
First sentence: “The Prince is holding a ball!!”
In this fairytale for the modern age, there lived a prince who loves to wear dresses and a talented dressmaker who dreams of doing more with her work. These two come together to take on the world of fashion! But unfortunately in secret (boys dressing up in dresses is unacceptable to people). Both yearn for more—acceptance, openness, to be who they are without it being a secret.

The second graphic novel, and sequel to Wires and Nerve, Volume 1, from #1 New York Times and USA Today Bestseller Marissa Meyer!
Iko―an audacious android and best friend to the Lunar Queen Cinder―has been tasked with hunting down Alpha Lysander Steele, the leader of a rogue band of bioengineered wolf-soldiers who threaten to undo the tenuous peace agreement between Earth and Luna. Unless Cinder can reverse the mutations that were forced on them years before, Steele and his soldiers plan to satisfy their monstrous appetites with a massacre of the innocent people of Earth.
And to show he’s serious, Steele is taking hostages.
Cinder and Kai, Scarlet and Wolf, Cress and Thorne, and Winter and Jacin all feature in this epic new battle. But it is Iko who must face her deepest fears when she uncovers the truth about her own unusual programming. Questions of love, friendship, and mortality take Iko on an emotional journey that will satisfy and delight fans of this bestselling series.
First sentence: “Almost a year has passed since we overthrew the wicked tyrant, Queen Levana, and crowned my best friend, Cinder—aka Princess Selene Blackburn—as the true queen of Luna. “
Welcome back to The Lunar Chronicles and Iko kicking ass!
In the previous book, bounty hunter Iko and appointed sidekick (joking!) Kinney have been hunting down Alpha Lysander Steele and the “rogue band of bioengineered wolf-soldiers,” who demand that Cinder reverse their mutations or blood will be shed. Of course, there is no way to reverse what former Queen Levana did, so what now?
For those who have yet to read the first graphic novel of Wires and Nerve, you must, and this is everything you need to know.

“Speak up for yourself-we want to know what you have to say.”
From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless–an outcast–because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops, so now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. Through her work on an art project, she is finally able to face what really happened that night: She was raped by an upperclassman, a guy who still attends Merryweather and is still a threat to her.
With powerful illustrations by Emily Carroll Speak: The Graphic Novel comes alive for new audiences and fans of the classic novel.
First sentence: “It is my first morning of high school.”
Speak is the quintessential Young Adult book that all teenagers should read. It’s a classic. It’s a book that was very popular when I was a teenager because there simply was not a book for teenagers that spoke about rape.
Even after twenty years since Speak’s original release, the content in this book is still very important and relevant to what is happening in the United States and around the world. This conversation about sexual assault has to happen.

In January, there’s plentiful of graphic novels to go ga-ga over, and that has been what I did. You get my all-time favorite The Wicked + The Divine which will continue to destroy everybody, a Pacific Rim/Iron Giant mash-up, hardcover volumes of Vision and Sex Criminals, and many more. This month, you need to put these on your TBR list.
