For fans of stories like To Kill a Mockingbird <\/em>with ambient settings and child saviors. Watch as magical Lala turns the tragedies of her past into her strength.<\/p>\n

The Mills’ Tome of Tales: A Grimm Revival<\/em> \u00a0by Carl Mills<\/p>\n

Inspired by the Grimm Fairy Tales, this original collection from Carl Mills attempts to depict the color of living in its forty-nine short stories. This format makes it perfect for anyone who just wants to read a little bit before bed but doesn\u2019t want to get sucked into a novel. It\u2019s a quirky bit of writing that shows the reader the price of poor decisions, and each story acts as its own cautionary tale.<\/p>\n

Dry World<\/em> \u00a0by Dylan Brock<\/p>\n

Dylan James Brock\u2019s Dry World<\/em> is about how close love can be to a psychosis. It\u2019s not your typical romantic drama, however, as the narration is told by a split mind (think M. Night Shymalan\u2019s 2016 Split<\/em>). In this book, two love stories are portrayed simultaneously. The result is an impactful bildungsroman about mental illness, love, and personal growth.<\/p>\n

Revelation<\/em> (The Gospel of Thomas #1) by K.J. Cartnell<\/p>\n

What happens when a devout believer and a hardcore skeptic fall in love? In Revelation<\/em>, two teens strike up a conversation in an airport lobby: Thomas, a shy budding photographer, and Adeline, the beautiful daughter of the town pastor. Adeline’s highly-scripted life is suddenly upended, as she and Thomas come to terms with their faith and their love. For fans of Jennifer E. Smith\u2019s The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight<\/em> and Gayle Forman\u2019s Just One Day. <\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
