1. I was the student that actually liked doing homework…and then I decided I liked school so much I went to graduate school. So yeah, a pretty good student.

2. The tagged book is one of my all time favorite YA books by one of my all time favorite authors with one of my all time favorite covers (which I once had a very memorable conversation about with Dan Santat).

For the movie buffs:
My brother and I were watching some action movie and there was a huge gun fight with dust and gun powder everywhere, and we were wondering why no one was sneezing. I said that would be a great scene for the next Boondock Saints. My brother says, without missing a beat, says “Boondock Saints 3: God Bless You“

I adore this book! The art struck me immediately and was what got me to check it out. A group of friends has a curious mission to fulfill, that involves the mysterious destination of the moon lanterns dropped into the river each year on the Autumn Equinox. This graphic novel is full of stunning illustrations—I found myself taking pictures of several pages. There is humor and a lot of science, but this book is all about friendship, discovery,⬇️

1. There was little good about me at a young age but this would be one. It started when I think a Second or Third Grade teacher pulled me aside; told me I shouldn‘t be getting B-s in school. And I never did again save for Math & Mathish Hard Science.

2. Characters in book, PonyBoy & SodaPop Curtis. I adored this book as a child. Less so when I had to read it twice in different schools. I‘d told my family (in jest!) I was set to marry Rob Lowe.

1) I was until junior high when my family moved, and I went from a school where trying hard and doing well were cool to a school where doing those things got you targeted by bullies. So I hid out for a few years, then when we moved again in high school to another high-caliber school district, it took me a while to rebuild my skills. I still did decently through high school and college.
2) A classic.

Considering how long I had this book on my digital shelf, I feel it was ok.
Admitting it's ok is a hard thing to say considering how the book starts which has a very emotional and hard scene to read which can be triggering to some as it involves a tragic car accident but it feels like the rest of the book is at odds and anticlimactic not to mention has more flashbacks then present tense moments so it can feel abrupt at different times.

This was an emotional story of a music loving family who were involved in a horrific accident. In the literal spur of the moment life changes drastically for Mia. Mia is 17 years old with exciting possibilities for life. Heart wrenching and tragic and still full of love. 4/5⭐️
