Perks of Being a Wallflower | Stephen Chbosky

I was told by my coworker today that I had to watch this movie. My other coworker then got involved and said I had to read the book! I know this story is loved for many reasons, but I know next to nothing about it. I'm gonna watch the movie tonight.... sorry! I promise I'll read the book soon. 😄

Anyone else watch/read this story? Thoughts?

JackOBotts This is one of my all time favorite reads. I first read it in HS, and it was a novel that I passed around to every friend I could. Each time I read it, I found new-to-me nuances. I hope you enjoy meeting Charlie. 💜 1d

LoverOfLearning @JackOBotts I love that you love this book. 😀 I know this is a definite favorite for people. It was so popular when I was in school but I was not a reader till college. Sad I missed out on reading this when I was younger. 1d

Sarahreadstoomuch LOVE this book. Movie is pretty good too. 1d

LoverOfLearning @Sarahreadstoomuch @JackOBotts Just watched the homecoming dance scene. Omg I love Charlie already. Not at all what I expected this movie to be but loving it so far. 1d

OrangeMooseReads Absolutely LOVE the book I‘ve read it several times. I shut the movie off 20-30 minutes in and have never tried to watch it again. 1d

LoverOfLearning @OrangeMooseReads you'll be happy to know I put the audiobook on hold on Libby. :) 1d

shortsarahrose I haven‘t read the book, but the movie made me cry 😭 (I know I‘m a “bad” book person for seeing the movie and not reading the book, but I also think the whole “the book is always better”/“I never see the movie” thing is pretentious). But I might read it someday. My TBR is just too big 😆 1d

LoverOfLearning @shortsarahrose same. That's why u watched the movie first. Reading this many books right now. But I do have it on hold on libby. Yeah the movie 100% made me cry!! Was very good. Had no idea what it was about 1d

DogMomIrene I watched the movie years ago. I remember crying, but I don‘t remember plot details. This book was actually one of my #ReadYourEbooks titles this month, and I didn‘t get to it. It‘s staying on the ebook list, though. 21h

LoverOfLearning @DogMomIrene hope you get to read it soon! My hold on libby will come in soon. Thankful it's a short read. I have tooo many audiobooks rn ha! 10h

I fleeeeeew through this book. It was a short one, but it was such a quick and entertaining read that I couldn‘t help myself. I almost forgot I even had it hanging out on my shelf for like 5+ years. Whoops. **Photo featuring the adorable Justice Ginsburg

LoverOfLearning LOVE this cover wow! Glad your enjoyed this one! I've not heard of it before. 1w

Blh87 @LoverOfLearning Definitely YA and a lot of it focuses on pros and cons of social media. I really enjoyed the writing and the humor of the main character…it was a quick, easy read! 1w

LoverOfLearning @Blh87 Glad you enjoyed it! 1w

Sometimes you just need a silly teen romance novel to make you smile and giggle. I listened to this audiobook twice over the last year or so. I love it so much. Gets you out of your head, lowers stress, makes you feel all giddy. I adore Lynn Painters books. Trying to finish up a book I'm currently reading so I can read book 2: Nothing Like the Movies. It's sitting on my shelf taunting me. ❤️😍❤️
