My June pick for #12booksof2024 with @Andrew65 I actually listened to the audiobook with a friend. Her class was reading it and she wanted to read it ahead of time. Long car ride from Florida to SC meant we listened to most of it, and I finished it at home. So so good!
pickI‘m annoyed by this movie-tie-in cover—especially since the title was changed to match the movie 🙄But I‘m pretty sure I picked it up at a library sale for 50 cents, so I shouldn‘t complain too much 😆
I LOVED this so much! It‘s the story of a friendship between two vastly different kids, each struggling with their own unique pain and escaping into stories. There‘s such good characterization, and it‘s paced just right. ⤵️
He hugs me tight while I look behind him, scanning faces like I did a few seconds ago. And like I will do for the rest of my life.

pickGood addition of Gary Paulsen of survivor stories. Great story about tragedy and resilience.
pickI got to meet Nic Stone for about 5 min at the book fair in my area. This story is about 2 teens, both dealing with trauma & mental health issues. They become bffs & eventually there‘s some romance. I‘m in the MH field & think Stone portrayed substance abuse & mental health accurately. She wrote that this is her most personal book. Also, I had a bad day, then re-read what she signed, & it made me feel better. Story is hopeful, not a downer.
I went to a wreath-making event with some friends from work last night. Mine turned out a little wonky, and there isn't a discernable hole, but it still looks ok above the fireplace!
