I read Remember This Titan a while back and was struck by the real life coach of this team and everything he went through during that year and since! He is quite the guy and I highly recommend his book. I have not read November Ever After yet, but it is high on my TBR!

That's a wrap on October! A real mixed bag this time - a historical fantasy romance novel, a YA sports graphic novel, a novel about WWII Navajo code talkers, a memoir of a 1980s nurse, and essays on crafting.

Less than halfway through the month and that's a wrap on September for me! Two romances, a YA, an art fraud mystery, and a YA sports graphic novel.

Pick of the month: it's the old one! Getting Rid of Bradley was a hoot.

Have you ever read a book where the songs from the movie are turned into dialogue? The book follows the movie pretty closely, but there are moments added & some parts have been changed completely. I loved this book, it is on the top of my list for rereads. Plus Grease 2 is way better than Grease (yes, I said it and I stand by it!!)

This was a reread for me and I loved it just as much as I did originally! I have always thought this was a super cool way of introducing Shakespeare to teens and young adults. Some parts are different from the movie (not sure why) and other parts are screen captured goodness!

@AsYouWish #WickedWords
A good mix of books for Wicked Words this month! A graphic novel, a LGBTQIA+ SF YA anthology, a historical romance, a contemporary romance, and a prequel.

Pick of the crop: I think An Unexpected Party, though if you're not in Australia it might be hard to get your hands on. It's a homegrown Western Australian book.
