Happy Mothers Day:

So I've actually been going over this all week. I wanted to make a list of Best Book Moms but man was that hard! Moms in YA novels are either awful villains (stone cold touch) irrelevant (Hush, Hush) or already passed. And I personally resonated with the characters who lost their mother the most. I lost my mother when I was 16. So to honor the mothers that aren't here but still loved and appreciated I made a list of

the Bookish Moms That Passed We Still Love 

Fire- Fire never got to meet her mother, but she'd heard rumors. Later in the story she gets to meet her grandmother, who tells her more about her mother and it's beautiful. 

Winners Curse- Katsa barely remembers the mother she once had, but she hold on to her love of music for her mother. And she knew her mother loved her. 

Legend- June looked up to her parents a great deal and wanted to follow in their footsteps. The love of her family was clear throughout the story. 

Breakable- An excellent story of how losing someone can truly change you forever. 

Delirium- Lena held on to the love her mother had throughout the story and to the end, allowing her to think for herself and allow love into her heart. 

Harry Potter- The love and sacrifice Harry's mother made saved his life and made him the chosen one.
