11 posts | 8 read | 16 to read
Twelve-year-old Sunny St. James navigates heart surgery, reconnecting with her lost mother, first kisses, and emerging feelings for another girl in this stunning, heartfelt novel--perfect for fans of Ali Benjamin and Erin Entrada Kelly. When Sunny St. James receives a new heart, she decides to set off on a "New Life Plan": 1) do awesome amazing things she could never do before; 2) find a new best friend; and 3) kiss a boy for the first time. Her "New Life Plan" seems to be racing forward, but when she meets her new best friend Quinn, Sunny questions whether she really wants to kiss a boy at all. With the reemergence of her mother, Sunny begins a journey to becoming the new Sunny St. James. This sweet, tender novel dares readers to find the might in their own hearts.

A cute little middle grade read for a special teacher course I am taking on LGBT+ 🏳️‍🌈 books! This has more than just LGBT 🏳️‍🌈 characters: it has heart 💜 ! Sorry...that was a terrible joke about the main character — but this this was a cute little read. And I get to count it towards #ReadYourSign #Sagittarius ♐️ for the following:
1. Spirit Color: Light Blue ✔️
2. Love Match: Aries Author Prompt ✔️

Oh. My. Goodness! This book was marvelous!
I got to a point in the story Friday night that kept me up until 3:10 Saturday morning to finish this book.

Sunny is such a lovable character — she is written very real.

This book needs to be in every elementary school.

Winding up week one and I think I‘m going to be rethinking some goals.

The tagged book is so wonderful! It could totally be a one sitting read if the rest of life didn‘t get in the way!

sudi Great job 😊👍 5y

Squeezing in one more for #2019mglgbtq PRIDE month.

Hoping this will be book 2 completed for my #bfcr2

#Fitwizards I made my step goal; not sure about the sleep goal — forgot to put my Fitbit back on after my shower.

wanderinglynn Great job! 🙌🏻 5y
Clwojick 😂😂😂 there‘s been so many comments on Fitbit about people forgetting to put theirs back on after the shower 😂 I always throw it on my pile of clothes, so I don‘t forget. Or I put my phone and keys by the charger, so I can‘t leave the house without it. 5y
Clwojick Way to go on your step goal! 💪🏻🙌🏻 5y

Here‘s what I‘m thinking for possible titles... please let me know if there‘s anything here you‘re already read, really want to read, absolutely do not want to read, etc. They‘re all on my TBR so I‘m happy with any of them!

LibrarianRyan Ohhhhhh. Nice choices. I own Monstrous Devices and it was on my first cut list. I‘m thinking either rain or coyote. Things I would not automatically gravitate to. 5y
IndoorDame @LibrarianRyan @Johanna414 I‘m up for either of those. Haven‘t read anything on this list yet, a few were on my radar and I‘m adding a few of the others to my tbr 5y
merelybookish Really any of them are good with me. But Coyote and Monstrous Devices stick out the most. 🙂 5y
Johanna414 @LibrarianRyan @IndoorDame @merelybookish Looks like the common book in each of your comments is Coyote Sunrise! Can‘t wait! (edited) 5y

If Ashley Herring Blake could stop hitting me in the god damn feels with each book, thatd be great!

Ugh, so cute and sweet. I got so attached to Sunny. Her crush, figuring out what she frels for girls vs boys, survivkng a heart transplant, dealing with her mom coming back. Ugh *clenches heart* too many feels

SaturnDoo I should've got this at the library the other day when I saw it 😢 stack add s 5y
