From the much-loved author of HATE IS SUCH A STRONG WORD 'smart, funny and relevant' - Melina Marchetta, bestselling author of LOOKING FOR ALIBRANDI, SAVING FRANCESCA and ON THE JELLICOE ROAD Five teenagers. Five lives. One final year. The school captain: Ryan has it all ... or at least he did, until an accident snatched his dreams away. How will he rebuild his life and what does the future hold for him now? The newcomer: Charlie's just moved interstate and she's determined not to fit in. She's just biding her time until Year 12 is over and she can head back to her real life and her real friends ... The loner: At school, nobody really notices Matty. But at home, Matty is everything. He's been single-handedly holding things together since his mum's breakdown, and he's never felt so alone. The popular girl: Well, the popular girl's best friend ... cool by association. Tammi's always bowed to peer pressure, but when the expectations become too much to handle, will she finally stand up for herself? The politician's daughter: Gillian's dad is one of the most recognisable people in the state and she's learning the hard way that life in the spotlight comes at a very heavy price. Five unlikely teammates thrust together against their will. Can they find a way to make their final year a memorable one or will their differences tear their world apart? Ages 14+

Granted, I didn‘t give this book much of a chance and only read about a quarter of it but, I wasn‘t really into the story and thought that it was quite slow-paced. I might come back to this book later but for now, it‘s my first Did Not Finish of 2021.

Another late entry to #litsyyearbook. (I was away and then had to find my yearbook.) Graduating class of 91. My #bookishsuperlative then: most likely to spend all her money on magazines. (I LOVED magazines. I considered it a sign of the good life to have multiple subscriptions.) My #bookishsuperlative now? Most likely to remember a specific detail from a book while forgetting the plot and possibly the title.
@JacintaMCarter

LectricSheep That's so cute about the magazines! I love them too. Although I have to admit I'm kind of over my giant teetering pile of unread New Yorkers giving me 👀. 7y
LeahBergen Love it! 😂 7y
merelybookish @LectricSheep I stopped getting magazines years ago. I wasn't reading them. It makes me sad since they meant so much to me when I was younger. But reading habits change...Although I feel maybe I should support a few literary mags. And I have felt the New Yorker guilt before! 7y
See All 12 Comments
LectricSheep I also feel like I should do more to support magazines. Have you seen Lapham's Quarterly? They're the magazine that has gotten me the closest to getting a new subscription over the past couple of years. Something about magazines just feels antiquated, though. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 7y
merelybookish @LectricSheep Agreed. I just feel they would pile up, unread. I haven't looked at Lapham's. I have considered Paris Review, Sun, Ploughshares, Grants, etc. 😐 7y
merelybookish @LeahBergen I somehow missed out on big hair! 7y
KVanRead @merelybookish @LectricSheep Love this! How I loved magazines. My first ever subscription was to Young Miss! I think my mom still has them.☺️ 7y
Laalaleighh Omg. @merelybookish feel you on the high school magazine addiction! @LectricSheep you too with the New Yorkers? I can feel them judging me. 7y
batsy Hahaha, love it! 7y
merelybookish @KVanRead Do you still subscribe to any magazines? 7y
merelybookish @Laalaleighh Always good to know we aren't the only ones! 7y
KVanRead No, not anymore. Like you the pressure of them piling up got to me. I was never any good at just flipping through and would try to read everything,lol. I think online articles and blog posts and social media like Litsy have taken up that space. 7y

Sooo, I didn't participate in the #litsyyearbook thing because I have zero pictures of me before college. I don't even remember what I looked like when I was little because I haven't seen any pictures since I was a pre-teen. But, I did ask my mom if she had any pictures of me & she managed to find this tiny freshman yearbook pic, and I took a picture with it. So this is me then vs me now. I'm so glad I finally ditched that middle part 😂

@JacintaMCarter here is an actual yearbook superlative I was chosen for. (I'm on the left). I also was picked for most likely to succeed, where we posed with dollars in our hands. Since I became a teacher, I may find success, but not lots of dollars.

More apt: most likely to read all kinds of YA books "for my students" when they are really mostly for me :)

#litsyyearbook #BookishSuperlative

saresmoore I held a fan of cash in my "Most Likely to Succeed" photo, too! Due to children, I haven't earned income in ten years! Success is relative, I'd say. ? 7y

#litsyyearbook I have no clue where my actual yearbooks are, but here is a picture from senior year in 1994. Most likely to get an A on the paper for the assigned material but still almost did not graduate because I was terrified to talk in the seminar about it. This actually happened, lol. I was voted "quietest female" and when the quietest male and I took the pic for the yearbook I had NEVER seen him EVER!! Good times, good times. ???

Jess_Read_This That's an awesome story. Great pic! ❤️ 7y
Mimi28 @AmyG I think my yearbooks are in a closet here but hs also wasn't a very pleasant experience for me and I didn't want to go look for them and remember more stuff, lol. I was kinda in the middle because people liked to copy my homework and borrow stuff from me. Once geometry and trigonometry or calculus hit in junior and senior years they were on their own with the copying, lol. I couldn't figure that stuff out either! 7y

Reviewsbylola Lol, it's "public display of affection". I also got most likely to be a model, so I really should stick with that one. ?? 7y
Mimi28 @Reviewsbylola Oooooohhhh!!! I should have known that! I was terrified of males in high school. I didn't start all that stuff until my early 20's. I bet you still could be a model. 👍 7y

JacintaMCarter @Hollie I have to admit that I would have been considered "emo" or "goth" in high school (you know, because no one could possibly understand my life), so there may have been gravestones involved in a few pictures. 7y

KarenUK Love this! 😻 7y
andrew61 Love the picture but im wondering what is going through the mind of the gentleman behind?! 7y
saresmoore @andrew61 I had the same thought! He's probably thinking something along the lines of, "What are those weirdos doing taking a photo in the middle of the grocery store?" 7y
Suet624 @andrew61 despite the beauty of that gorgeous woman with the glasses, my eyes keep being drawn to that guy! 7y
saresmoore @Suet624 He's perfectly centered! 😂 7y
Suet624 He also looks like all the Irish grandfathers I used to know and love in my neighborhood growing up. 7y
andrew61 I suspect he is wondering why they always put the fruit and veg at the front of the store (see what I did there store not shop) rather than the beer and crisps (chips). 7y
monkeygirlsmama Too funny! 😆 7y
saresmoore @andrew61 😂 They guilt you into buying bananas and a bouquet of flowers for your wife before you can even make it to the good stuff! 7y
Bookzombie Such a great pic! 💗 7y
KVanRead This. Is. The. Best.😻 7y

Well, my monsters tend to run away when I try to take pictures so it isn't just my bad parenting. 😂 #LitsyYearbook
#BookishSuperlative

Riveted_Reader_Melissa 😂😂makes sense to me! 7y
Cinfhen SAME 7y
saresmoore Bahahaha! I totally have this problem! And half the pictures of my kids have books in the foreground. 😬 7y
JacintaMCarter My nieces always get mad because the lock screen on my phone is a picture of a book instead of a picture of them. 7y

#litsyyearbook #bookishsuperlative I have been on Litsy myself for a year, and just passed the 6,666 mark (missed out on a screenshot, dammit). Bonus, I have actually read this book, 'The Yearbook Committee'. It's a great #loveozya novel... see, reading so you don't have to. Ha!

JacintaMCarter I haven't read it, but it's on my list. Along with pretty much every other book I've ever heard of. 7y

I was watching an old episode of Jimmy Fallon and he did "Tonight Show Superlatives." Since I've been on Litsy for just over a year now, I thought it would be fun to do a sort of "Litsy yearbook." So, if you're game, add a picture, give yourself a bookish superlative, and tag me so I can see what y'all come up with.

Jess7 I can relate - except my #TBR pile is all virtual /digital on my kindle and library wait list on overdrive. 7y
BethM Ahhh I didn't see this post so I don't have a superlative! 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 This was the best idea EVER!! Thank you!! 7y

I found a site that tells you what book was the most popular the year you were born. I thought it would be fun to see what books pop up! Tag it with #birthdaybook to keep track :)

For the last three years I have created my son's school's (almost 800 students) yearbook--from photographer to designer to publisher to salesperson to distributor. This is his last year in elementary so my last year as the "yearbook lady." We distributed them today. Can I tell you just how much work this has been??? With a full time job too? It was rewarding but I am so so grateful to be done.

KVanRead Well done! And congrats on being done too!! 7y
kspenmoll Tons of work! Congrats on moving on- 7y

Texreader @tpixie That's been my goal. Thanks so much! 7y
Texreader @Reviewsbylola @KVanRead @kspenmoll I'm almost giddy with happiness if I weren't so tired. My successor on the other hand regularly tells me she wakes up in cold sweats thinking about taking over. I've vowed to be here for her because my predecessor was not there for me. 7y
tpixie @Texreader ❤️❤️❤️ 7y

Of course, this book isn't listed either. Endpapers from a book called The Unicorn Book of 1952. #endpapers #readjanuary
