I haven't talked much about Shannon Messenger, one of my favorite authors EVER, on my blog because I never have anything critical to say about her work...

Caraval (Caraval Series #1)
The cover of this book is amazing. Can we just take a moment to appreciate it? It looks kind of simple, but seeing it up close is actually amazing. The star behind the title sparkles! I’m not here to rant, but it really is cool...
Fablehaven
I was recommended this book by my friend when I was quite young (maybe I was in second or third grade). My mum started to read the first book to me.

Then, she informed me that Doctor Strange was played by Benedict Cumberbatch, and I said something to the effect of “OMG really? Oh well, let’s watch it then!” To which she replied with something like “I thought that would convince you.” She knows me too well...
