As a fellow Gen-Z 2009-born child, it’s safe to say the 2010s were full of whimsy, excitement, and color. From Vine, slime, the bottle-flip challenge, slap bracelets, fidget spinners, squishy toys, chokers, skinny jeans, neon colors, galaxy jeggings (I have more), #yolo, selfie-sticks, Silly Bandz, Heelys, Justice, to even out first iPads. Truly, nothing could beat that era. Growing up during that time was very enjoyable for an avid reader, especially as dystopian fiction was rising. So let me take you guys on a nostalgic blast from the past as I introduce the books that shaped the reader I am today.
