This was such a delightful and heartwarming read. A must for music lovers and I discovered at the end that there‘s a playlist to go along with it on Spotify, so don‘t miss that! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Starting out with this for the #TBCreadathon2018. So far pretty good but reminding me a lot of The Tiger in the House. Hoping the twist I‘ve heard so much about is a good one!

My stack for Dewey's #readathon tomorrow. Planning to start with Out of my Mind, recommended by my 11 yr old daughter. I have a bunch of middle grade/YA in my stack...thought those would be good for the Readathon. Any other suggestions from this stack? I'm looking for quick, unputdownable reads.
