Top 5 Tuesday – K to O – Rae's Reads and Reviews

Hey y’all! I nearly forgot to finish this until last night. It’s been a busy week and we’re only up to Tuesday. These classes are great but they’re also a lot of work.

Top 5 Tuesday was originally created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm. She has now passed the baton to Meeghan @ Meeghan Reads. Meeghan is truly a gem and to lighten the load, she’s made this month alphabetical.

K is for Kyazike from Queenie

I just love this name. From what I can remember, Kyazike was a really cool friend of Queenie’s who helped her along her journey in a gentle way. She definitely passes the vibe check.

L is for Liz Lightey from You Should See Me in a Crown

You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson

All the love for Liz Lightey. I love how we got to see her journey and how she grew in her confidence along the way.

M is for Maya from Words on Bathroom Walls

Oh how I love Maya. She’s so quirky but not in a “not like other girls” way. She’s just a very… different kind of person and I love that. She definitely complimented Adam.

N is for Norris from The Field Guide to the North American Teenager

The Field Guide to the North American Teenager by Ben Philippe

I was literally searching so hard for someone who’s name started with N and while I was listening to the audiobook I nearly slapped myself in the face. Norris is literally the main character. He’s super witty and I’m definitely getting a feel for Ben Philippe’s writing.

O is for Omar Holmon from We Were All Someone Else Yesterday

We Were All Someone Else Yesterday by Omar Holmon

Okay, hear me out on this one. We Were All Someone Else Yesterday is a collection of poetry about Omar Holmon’s life, therefore, he’s the main character. Checks out if you ask me.

Have you read any of these?
