“Huh?” I say, not because I didn‘t hear her, but because I‘m not ready to go there.”
-I poke fun of my husband for doing this when he doesn‘t want to answer me. “Huh?” Some people will say “hmm?” Or “What‘s that?” Drives me nuts lol you heard me don‘t pretend you didn‘t!
You‘ve got to do something you‘ve never done, to have something you‘ve never had.
As a kid, you idolize your parents. You think they‘re perfect, because they‘re the yardstick by which you measure the rest of the world, and yourself. Then as teenager, they just piss you off, because you realize that not only are they not perfect, but they may be even a little more screwed up than you. But there‘s that moment when you realize they‘re not superheroes, or villains. They‘re painfully, unforgivable human.
“You understand this is not about your father and me getting back together,” she tells Dalton and his sister, but for kids of divorce, hope springs eternal.

so-soI read this because of #ISpyBingoSept bathing suit promp. @TheAromaofBooks
Geared to young teens, but all this kid does is give rants. The topic was good, too long of nothing happening, and then a cliffhanger. I'm not reading book 2.
pickFollow Ash as they prepare to run away and live in a cabin their grandpa built in the woods (if it exists). Beautifully illustrated and told. My adult perspective on this book (worried about the logistics of Ash‘s safety and their family‘s fear and grief for their missing teen) is probably a lot different than how teens would experience the book. #Survival
pickI enjoyed this one even though the ending didn't quite live up to the rest of the journey in my opinion. The deep open ocean creeps me out and the author did a great job at really capturing that feeling. I liked that the story was written in the form of entries. I also liked the fact that the giant monster of the story is never quite described completely but the details you do get are so creepy.

Here is what I'm currently reading:
Fractured Tide by Leslie Lutz - really enjoying it so far. I love that it's told in entries
Fear (Gone #5) by Michael Grant - interesting direction the series has taken the last 2 books
pickI loved this so much!
I think the pacing is absolutely perfect. Not too slow, but slow enough to really catch onto how reality TV breeds corruption & manipulation. 👌
I definitely wanted more from the ending though, like seeing how the contestants adjusted to the “outside world” after leaving the show.
