pickThis book was a hard one to listen to, mainly because of the subject matter. I really enjoyed the fact that Juska used different point of views to help show how a shooting effects people's lives other than just the families who lose a loved one. I also loved that although the shooting is what ties the book together, so much more is happening. #summerreads #audible #audiobooms
panA bit disappointed in this one. It held my interest well enough, but it‘s such a long book & not much happens after the mall shooting in the beginning. There‘s a lot of blame being thrown around to his teacher from four years ago for not speaking up about a weird essay the shooter wrote. Blame thrown to the mother who wants to throw it elsewhere. It‘s more a side story about Anna‘s anxiety and eating disorder. However there‘s a lot of character⬇️
Decided to do some digital puzzles and read. Scary how relevant this book is at the moment with another school shooting happening on Friday. I'm now at 5 hours for the weekend and I'm sure I'll get in 3 more before midnight. Hope everyone had a great weekend and had a great #8intwo #readathon
panWhat a disappointment. This book started out great. Compelling characters interacting after a tragedy... I really related to the professor and her feelings of responsibility. Couldn‘t wait to see what would happen... and then... nothing happens. There isn‘t even a plot really.
1. I saw an ad for it on fb probably 2 years ago, and I‘ve been a member since but I have only gotten really active lately
2. I try to record what I read either on Litsy and/or good reads so I can try to count. This is the first year I have a running tally
3. Buying, no. Reading, yes.
4. Tagged book. If We Had Known
“Syllabi bloated with policies that made students glaze over on the very first day of class”
Yes! As a professor, this makes me bonkers!

My TBR pile from the library is getting bigger, not smaller. I really want to read Drama High next, but those 7 day stickers are pressuring me, so it will likely be If We Had Known.
"This, she thought, was the most terrifying part: that Nathan Dugan had been plotting, roaming around the periphery of their lives— the mall, the campus— just waiting for the moment to explode, and nobody had seen it coming. That these killers walked the world, invisible and unstoppable, and your only hope was that you didn‘t cross their paths. . . . He could just as easily have snapped in her [mother's] class— shot his classmates. Shot her."
