Hello! My name is Taylor and I am an 18-year-old freshman at UNC Asheville with a huge passion for all things book-related. When I’m not reading, obsessing over fictional guys or posting on my blog, taylortalksbooks, I am most likely jamming out to my favorite tunes from the '70s and watching some classic films (my favorites include Roman Holiday, Casablanca and The Philadelphia Story). I am so thrilled to fangirl over some amazing books and share all of my feels with everyone in the Teenreads community!

Top Five Favorite Books:
1. The Naturals series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
2. ALEX, APPROXIMATELY by Jenn Bennett
3. SIMON VS. THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA by Becky Albertalli
4. A COURT OF MIST AND FURY by Sarah J. Maas
5.The Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer

Orphan Monster Spy

by Matt Killeen - Fiction, Historical Fiction, Historical Thriller, Suspense, Thriller

After her mother is shot at a checkpoint, 15-year-old Sarah meets a mysterious man with an ambiguous accent, a suspiciously bare apartment and a lockbox full of weapons. He's part of the secret resistance against the Third Reich, and he needs Sarah to hide in plain sight at a school for the daughters of top Nazi brass, posing as one of them. If she can befriend the daughter of a key scientist and get invited to her house, she might be able to steal the blueprints to a bomb that could destroy the cities of Western Europe. Nothing could prepare Sarah for her cutthroat schoolmates, and soon she finds herself in a battle for survival unlike any she'd ever imagined.
