I discovered the romance novels of Cathy Yardley this winter. And then I proceeded to make my way through most of her backlist in just a few weeks. Her contemporary romances have an ideal ratio of fun to emotion. Her characters have deep, interesting, and often twisty backstories. But they also have passions and a sense of humor that come alive on the page. And her banter—don’t get me started on how good Cathy Yardley writes banter. Her love stories are diverse, often geeky, and always passionate.

Just like literally millions of other readers, I am completely hooked on The Empyrean Series by Rebecca Yarros. When I first heard about Fourth Wing, the first book in the Romantasy series about dragon-riding school, I wasn’t reading a lot of fantasy. But as friend after friend recommended it to me, I became intrigued. Then I saw my favorite Romance bookstore, The Ripped Bodice, had a midnight book party for the second book in the series, Iron Flame.

Picture books are the perfect medium to celebrate artists and art, because picture books are art and the illustrators who help make them are artists. Picture books about artists can expose readers to the lives, styles, and significant contributions of real-life artists, and the illustrations can bring their works of art to life on the page. Fictional picture books can tell stories about the importance of art and help children (and adults!) tap into their own imaginations and creativity. Ursula K.
