Twelve-year-old Kat woos the boy next door on behalf of her best friend, and in the process realizes that true beautyand true confidencecomes from the inside in this hilarious M!X novel from the author of Small Medium at Large. Kat is already so over seventh grade. It doesnt help that her best friend and cousin, Olivia, grew a foot over the summer and won a spot on the schools dance team, shooting her up on the popularity scale. In the jungle that is middle school, Olivia is a gazelle. Braces-wearing, manga-loving, uncoordinated Kat is a warthog. Plus, Tyler, Kats next-door neighbor and buddy since birth, morphed into a really cute boy over the summer. Suddenly the person Kats used to playing Xbox with is causing her stomach to do cartwheels. When Olivia confesses that she has a crush on Tyler and wants to ask him to the Fall Ball dance, Kat knows theres going to be a problem: Tyler thinks Olivia is just another ditsy girl who only cares about lip gloss and boy bands. But since Kats one of Tylers oldest friends, Olivias sure shell know how to get his attention. Trying to be a good friend and squash her own feelings, Kat makes it her mission to get the two of them together. From writing Tyler cheat sheets listing his favorite things, to feeding Olivia lines through her headphones during Tyler-focused study sessions, Kat devises schemes by which Tyler will fall for Olivia. And to her delightor maybe horrorher plan begins to work. Now that Olivias caught Tylers attention, Kat has to wonder if shes fooled Tyler into falling for the wrong girl. But what boy would ever choose a warthog over a gazelle?

Hey #CrushTheRush -ers,

I'll be honest...I might not crush it, but I'll continue to try and be hopeful.

For those of you who joined for December, you've got a month to work your bookly magic. I believe in you! Now get after those goals!

Bookwormjillk Maybe not crush them but I‘m at least going to squeeze them a little bit 4y
j9brown Excited to be on board! 😄 4y
kezzlou85 Gotta love this song. My daughter and her friend were all singing this midway through their sats exams. Thanks for the warm welcome. 4y
TheBookHippie Oh I‘m in!!! 4y
TheBookHippie I‘ve seen this in concert 🤣✌🏻 4y
LibrarianRyan I'm joining the crush and not just because this song is in my head!@!! 4y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Omg, I totally have this song playing in my head now! ❤️😂🤣❤️ My goal has changed from 3-5 books to just getting through the chunkster I‘m currently on. 😅 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣Put the squeeze on them is so right. Maybe my next check in should be mafia themed. 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @TheBookHippie That's awesome! I saw them in concert with Goo Goo Dolls around 2000. I won front row tickets from a radio station. It was pretty awesome, being a Jersey girl and all. 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @LibrarianRyan I make no apologies for a good earworm, but I'm glad to have you along for the ride. 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Good luck with the chunkster! I've got one or two longer ones on my list, but I'll likely balance with a few novellas. Did I mention I'm making two Bookspin boards this month?! I can't clear one and I'm making two to help me decide. 🤦‍♀️ 4y
JessClark78 Didn‘t do too good in November. Only finished a couple books. Hoping to do better this month. 4y
Andrew65 Living on a prayer 🎶 Definitely in! 😁 (edited) 4y
wanderinglynn November was a slow reading month for me. But I plan to make up for it this month! 🎉 4y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Lol! I‘m skipping bookspin this month since it‘d be futile. But I‘ve already got quite a list for January. 4y
bthegood @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick finished a few books and it has kept me motivated, will actually count hours this month for #WinterGames2020, thx⛄🌲 4y
ads0123 I‘m jumping on board the crush for this month! 4y
Erinsuereads I'm so excited I'm back on reading again finally!!! Thanks for still including me! 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @JessClark78 A new month = A new start! You got this! 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @wanderinglynn I didn't push myself last month since I knew I would in December. May this be a better reading month! 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @bthegood That's awesome! I'm trying to keep motivated to finish my planned goals and not just drown myself in holiday romances all month. 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @ads0123 Great! I'm happy to have you with us. You're going to crush it! 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @ErinSueMreads YAY! I assume that means you're feeling better? 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Andrew65 Happy to have join me for another month. Happy reading! 4y
Erinsuereads @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick sooooooooo much. It was horrible. But I'm back to feeling like 70% better 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @ErinSueMreads Happy to hear it! After just a head cold I'm happy to be back to 70% better so I'm sure you're feeling relieved. 4y
Schnoebs Things are going decent. I don‘t see myself finishing my tbr but I think I can make at least half way through which id be happy about. I‘m posting another review from my tbr today! 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Schnoebs If you don't finish them off, you'll have something to read next year. 😁 4y
NeedsMoreBooks I just counted. 20 books in November 😊 4y

I thought I was hopelessly behind, but waiting out my Covid results have me time to play catch up. I've read 7 of 21 books plus I did a NG review and added a chunk of my missing 2019 books to Goodreads. There's more missing than I thought, but I'm proud of myself for getting this far after the first 2 weeks.

#CrushTheRush #CrushingIt #TheWesleyCrushers

Traci1 Good luck with the results. Hopefully you won't have to wait much longer. So, do you pronounce that "the Wesley CRUSHERS" or "the WESLEY crushers"? Bazinga! ? 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Traci1 Exactly! 🤣I couldn't resist adding that tag in there after the first two. ⚡Bazinga!⚡ 4y
Megabooks I hope it comes back negative. Covid sucks! 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Megabooks Thanks Meg! I rarely get more than a cold and was exposed a week ago, so if I'm positive, my body is doing a good job fighting it off. The BF is higher risk so we're being cautious. 4y

So I‘ve passed my Goodreads goal for the year (almost doubled!) but I‘ve drifted away from my 2020 Motley Reading Challenge. Here‘s the list of prompts I‘m missing and how I‘m planning to fill them over the next 2 months for #crushtherush

Author From my home province - The Just City
Second-Hand - Next month‘s LMPBC?
Been on my TBR the longest
Non-fiction
True Crime
Won a literary prize
A classic - Moby Dick

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick That's about a book a week. Sounds totally crushable! Good luck & happy to have you join in. 4y
Read-y_Picker @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick when you put it that way it seems wayyyy scarier to me lol 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Remember...Graphic novels and middle grade novels are legitimate book choices. 4y

My biggest goal is to finish the last 23 books I need to reach my goodreads goal of 250. I'd also like at least 12 of those to be books I own. #crushtherush

@Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Aiming for 250...I like it! If you believe, you can achieve! I think you'll crush it! 4y
Traci1 @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick thanks! I started the year with a goal of 150, and I've upped it twice. The covid situation and audiobooks have definitely had an impact on how much I got done. 4y
Q84 Thanks I need to finish so many still 4y

I don't have a current #literarycrush Honestly, usually when I read I ignore the character descriptions and just picture an actor. On that note, here's another picture of Tom Hardy! #literarylove

SailorMoon I do that too! It doesn't matter if the author describes a male lead as tall, blond and American... if I decide that in my mind his characteristics are more suited for another face, I'll make the swap and here he is looking like Idk Michiel Huisman maybe! 6y
SailorMoon BTW please keep posting Tom Hardy's pictures! They're always welcome!!! 6y
MallenNC @SailorMoon I am glad I'm not the only one who does this. I switch up based on what tv or movie I'm into at the time. Michiel Huisman is a great one for this bc he's so versatile as an actor! And I'll definitely keep posting Tom Hardy. He fits a lot of prompts for me! 6y

OriginalCyn620 😂 just like the time I posted a pic of Chris Evans and you knew right off it was me, I also knew this was you before I saw your name! And please do keep posting pics of attractive actors! 6y
