bailedHe sent a text to his three best friends (who were in a car together), and because the driver replied, they crashed. And people blame him for it. That‘s what this book is about. Really. No thank you!
pickOmg... This book was SO amazing. I absolutely loved this. Have I said I love this book yet? Autumn and Finny's love story is one that I will treasure forever, and one that will always be on my mind. This friends to lovers book is a must-read, and it hooked me from the very beginning! Highly recommend.

pickI just returned from a week in Florida helping my mom after my stepfather passed. On the flight down, I knew I needed a backup audio that wouldn‘t be all that deep, and this was available. Britney‘s got one hell of a story to tell and I can‘t believe her father/family were able to do what they did to her. It‘s not terribly well written, but she got to share her story- and Michelle Williams was an amazing narrator.

I falter. I try to live this and have unconsciously memorized quotes from it. Definitely one of my favorite books which I highly recommend for anyone. #favoritebooks
pickI was in ninth grade when the Columbine massacre happened in 1999. Since then, many more have occurred, and the violence is only increasing. In this memoir, Dylan‘s mother shares her grief and tries to make sense of the actions her son and his friend Eric made on that fateful day. Heartbreaking.
Like mothers all over Littleton, I had been praying for my son‘s safety. But when I heard the newscaster pronounce twenty-five people dead, my prayers changed. If Dylan was involved in hurting or killing other people, he had to be stopped. As a mother, this was the most difficult prayer I had ever spoken in the silence of my thoughts, but in that instant, I knew the greatest mercy I could pray for was not my son‘s safety, but for his death.

While I was in Chester, I popped into Waterstones and got the top two books, then found a lovely little indie, Books on the Walls, where I got the bottom two.
On Agoraphobia: the author's bibliotherapy led him to discover that the literary world is full of agoraphobics, and this book is about them 😰
Medusa: A 1920s weird novel set at sea 🦑
Alien Gods: Only 97 pages, but they are translations of Korean reimaginings of H.P. Lovecraft ⬇️
pickA feel good romance that is part of series, but reads excellent as a stand alone. Traveling nurse Emma and Justin share a curse - everyone meets the one right after dating them. Thanks to Reddit, they jokingly give dating each other a try. Neither one expected to fall so fast and furiously though. Each of them have parent drama to deal with that causes turmoil, so can they navigate their families while forming their own relationship?
