Welcome to Litsy!

Book 17 of #MGMarch #middlegrademarch Sonnenblick always delivers humorous, relevant reads. On top of middle school growing pains, a girl must deal with witnessing her father have a stroke and struggle to recover. @Eggs

This book was spot on! I love Sonnenblick‘s writing: serious topics with just the right dose of humor.

I related so well to Claire — although my mom and I have 30 years on Claire and her dad. The struggle my mom faced after her stroke was very similar. And then there‘s Mrs. Selinski — yep, I made a connection there as well 😢

#WishIReadThisSooner but I think it was the perfect time for me 🙂

So, looking through the posts, I found mine from when I bought this book — two years ago! If that doesn‘t say something about my TBR I don‘t know what will!

On the #Caudill2019 list, I‘m finally reading a book I already know I will love. Everything by Sinnenblick is amazing.

Starting this one now! 20 pages in and I'm loving it so far!

Getting through my currently reading pile means I can start new books! Looking forward to reading this one. On another note, anyone have any good audiobook recommendations?

I thought it was a really cute story. It's about a girl dealing with her father's stroke. However I thought some of the solutions were a little unrealistic and spectacular and that took away from the story a little.

I love a good stand-alone book with plenty of humor and heart. Sonnenblick hasn't yet failed to deliver either one.

I just finished this book and I LOVED IT. I recommend this to anyone who enjoyed "Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie".

I probably wouldn't have listened if I knew what this book was about. A little too close to home, tho Claire is only 13 when her father has a stroke, and he survives. Between tears and laughter she gets to know her dad again as he struggles to recover & she also somehow gets thru 8th grade. Deserving of its started reviews. #audiobook read by Miriam Volle was well done, tho Volle sometimes sounded a little too young. Still highly recommend

I have not read this yet but I have read everything else Jordan Sonnenblick has written so I already know I'm going to love this! I will have a box of tissues handy. No doubt I'll need them!

I've not posted any photos of my Hedgie previously because, frankly, she's old & in ill health & can't stand up well anymore. (I had to snatch this pic quick before she fell over sideways.). But my BFF sent me these super cute Book Buddy hedgehog sticky notes, so I thought it was occasion enough to pull her out to model with them.

As Truvy says: "Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion" and this book definitely delivers. Classic Sonnenblick, this one's not to be missed. #24in48 5th book read, about 12.5 hours in and not going to bed quite yet! @24in48

Evening reading. This is so good. Comes out in September. #24in48 @24in48

This book is soooo good! It had me quietly crying while turning pages. It follows 13 year old Claire as she witnesses her father have a stroke and then his recovery, all while trying to survive her last year in middle school. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
