By Cynthia Ayala

Hey there avid readers! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week catching up on their own reading list, now that school is back in session it should be quieter at my job (I work at the movie theater) so I should have some more energy later on in the evening to read. As of this week I’ve had some extra time to write and type my novel. Of course, I’m still working on my wedding. God, I get married in 2 months and not everything is finalized. It’s hectic. We are officially going into honeymoon fund now which sucks. I’m still keeping my chin up about it, even started a GoFundMe, even though I hate asking people for money, but sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do.

So, to keep my peace of mind I’m making time to write and I’m making time to read. So, check out my new reading list and let me know what you think of these titles.

2. Orphan Monster Spy

by Matt Killeen

A Jewish girl-turned-spy must infiltrate an elite Nazi boarding school in this highly commercial, relentlessly nail-biting World War II drama!

After her mother is shot at a checkpoint, fifteen-year-old Sarah–blonde, blue-eyed, and Jewish–finds herself on the run from a government that wants to see every person like her dead. Then Sarah meets a mysterious man with an ambiguous accent, a suspiciously bare apartment, and a lockbox full of weapons. He’s a spy, and he needs Sarah to become one, too, to pull off a mission he can’t attempt on his own: infiltrate a boarding school attended by the daughters of top Nazi brass, befriend the daughter of a key scientist, and steal the blueprints to a bomb that could destroy the cities of Western Europe. With years of training from her actress mother in the art of impersonation, Sarah thinks she’s ready. But nothing prepares her for her cutthroat schoolmates, and soon she finds herself in a battle for survival unlike any she’d ever imagined.

3. Ash Princess (Ash Princess Trilogy #1)

by Laura Sebastian

Theodosia was six when her country was invaded and her mother, the Fire Queen, was murdered before her eyes. On that day, the Kaiser took Theodosia’s family, her land, and her name. Theo was crowned Ash Princess–a title of shame to bear in her new life as a prisoner.

For ten years Theo has been a captive in her own palace. She’s endured the relentless abuse and ridicule of the Kaiser and his court. She is powerless, surviving in her new world only by burying the girl she was deep inside.

Then, one night, the Kaiser forces her to do the unthinkable. With blood on her hands and all hope of reclaiming her throne lost, she realizes that surviving is no longer enough. But she does have a weapon: her mind is sharper than any sword. And power isn’t always won on the battlefield.

For ten years, the Ash Princess has seen her land pillaged and her people enslaved. That all ends here.
