#ReadAway2024

Read for #SundayBuddyRead, it‘s a very soft pick from me—too much YA angst & too many characters to keep track of, but I think the concept of different YA authors creating the interlocking stories was good. Some of the characters & stories sparkled more than others, but it was a good pick for a light December read & if I was the intended YA target looking for diversity & representation in my books, I‘m sure I‘d have loved it. ❄️❄️❄️

Oh, to be young and in love and the biggest worry is if your partner will forgive you…

I would not have picked up this book if not for #SundayBuddyRead , and I probably would have bailed on it long ago. Too much angst (and I am a ‘90s grunge/alt-rock girl, full of angst and anger 😂). I did learn a lot about sea animals!

A fun bit escapism. A little too YA for me and some of the stories were a bit one note. But it was fun seeing how all the stories interconnected. It was refreshing seeing different types of characters. Read for #sundaybuddyread

I love the author‘s style of writing, his reflection. In this collection of notes, he speaks on the importance of writing, of how it gives words power, how speaking truth is power. Truth may be forcibly hidden but like the moon, it cannot remain hidden for long. Here, he shares his emotional and physical experiences from his time in Senegal, SC, and Palestine. We must keep writing, reading, reflecting, and acting. There is no other way⬇️

This has been on my tbr for awhile. I have the eArc, the audio, and the physical book that I bought because it came with an adorable snowglobe. so I really made it a priority this Christmas. And it was good, no regrets. It was very snowy and sweet and much less problematic than certain Christmas romance ensemble movies.
