The Goodreads Choice Awards 2024 Nominations
It’s almost the end of the year, and it has been a wonderful year because it has been filled with books. The Goodreads Choice Awards have begun, and their opening round is officially open for voting. They cover each genre, but here at MBC, our focus is fantasy and science fiction. Fortunately, those genres flourished this year because of some incredible new releases.
If You Like ‘Mean Girls’ Add These To Your TBR
Tina Fey adapted Queen Bees and Wannabees by Rosalind Wiseman for the original script. The parenting and adolescent self-help book breaks down the cliques in high school and how damaging the notion of popularity can be. Girls go through so much in “Girl World,” and Fey was able to highlight all of that in Mean Girls. Everyone feels seen in that film, and that’s why it will always have a place in the zeitgeist.
If You Like ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ Add These To Your TBR
We have a new Percy Jackson series now streaming on Disney Plus!!
Fans of the book series have waited an incredibly long time for Rick Riordan’s series to have a good adaptation and it’s finally here. The film adaptation was released in 2010 with Logan Lerman portraying Percy Jackson, but the time of the release wasn’t the strongest. It had to fight alongside Harry Potter and Twilight, which were franchises pretty well-established. There were only two films released and the Percy Jackson fandom had more books to look forward to!
Now on Disney Plus, there will be new episodes streaming every Tuesday and the fans will have their golden trio on screen again. Walker Scobell, Leah Jeffries, and Aryan Simhadri are all incredible in their respective roles.

The final round for the Goodreads Choice Awards is now open! Some of the books we have read have made it through the next round and we could not be happier. If you haven’t read the books listed below, then it’s time to add them to your TBR for next year! All the books nominated below have impacted this year; we can’t wait to read some of them as a community.
The Best of 2023 on Audible
Goodreads and Audible have released the best books of 2023 on their designated platforms, and it’s great to see the variety. As someone who is a born-again reader, audiobooks have become enjoyable for me. It is hard to find time to sit down and read a book. Listening to novels while driving, cleaning the house or going for a walk adds a similar layer of calmness when reading a book.
If You Like ‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ Add These To Your TBR
It’s hard to believe that after a decade The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes would garner the same excitement as The Hunger Games. It is safe to say that the film adaptation of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is incredible and fans of the prequel will be more than satisfied with it.

If You Like ‘Landscape with invisible HAND’ yOU shOULD add These To Your TBR
When sci-fi and comedy come together it’s almost always a good time. Even though the concepts may be far-fetched, creativity is what makes it worth the watch. It’s interesting to see the concepts come alive on screen. Audiences imagine things that writers create and then filmmakers push that boundary.
Maude Garrett has read Landscape with Invisible Hand by M.T. Anderson and it’s a young adult sci-fi novel that will capture the hearts of many. Now that it has been adapted for the big screen, many are able to turn to the book for more imagination and creativity.
