<td>2024-W1</td>
<td>The Raven Boys</td>
<td>Maggie Stiefvater</td>
<td>Despite the insufferability of the average rich kid psyche, this book was actually a quite enjoyable romp through the Virginia countryside. Four boys, one of which is dead and pretending otherwise, and a kinda-not-really psychic girl try to wake up a ley line in search of a dead king and end up getting their Latin teacher trampled to death. Good times.</td>

<td>It still counts if it was co-written by a woman, right?... This moid needs to retire. I feel bad for the trees that died to produce this pigslop. Beating the corpse of a series I loved when I was a teenager (that's over a decade ago) - this is <i>Star Wars</i>-tier series sprawl. As Filthy Frank would say, "it's time to stop."</td>

<td>Not to go all Bigolas Dickolas on you, but you <em>need</em> to read this book. Don't look at any summaries or reviews or even the cover art for the paperback version (if that's what you get stuck with) - just jump in.</td>
