The Beginning of Everything, Written by Robyn Schneider is a book about Ezra Faulkner, former Tennis turned cripple after a car accident with a drunk driver. I am currently a little more than halfway through and thoroughly enjoying it. However I do have some complaints. Often times Schnieder's depiction of high school seems unrealistic. She describes high school as a hierarchy and while there groups of people, there is no one popular person.
11moVarsity tennis captain Ezra Faulkner was supposed to be homecoming king, but that was before—before his girlfriend cheated on him, before a car accident shattered his leg, and before he fell in love with unpredictable new girl Cassidy Thorpe.
As Kirkus said in a starred review, “Schneider takes familiar stereotypes and infuses them with plenty of depth. Here are teens who could easily trade barbs and double entendres with the characters.
pickI really like this book. This book had me wondering what was going to happen next. This book is about a boy who overcomes challenges. it‘s a great read.
Anyone else find random books they don‘t remember buying on their Kindle.....

More #LitsyMagic ✨. Just read the review @Tracey3 wrote – and she really got me curious by mentioning that it‘s not quite John-Green-like, for as far as many of his books are concerned, I definitely can‘t understand the praise they get. His “quirky” characters are most of the time a bit too much, a bit forced for me …
But Tracey definitely caught my interest with this and so I‘m especially happy to have found it in my online library‼️🙌🏼
so-soHi everyone! This book is about Ezra finding himself after his girlfriend cheated on him and he got in a car accident that shattered his leg. This book is mainly about how he grew through everything he went through. It was okay. #litsy #kindle #kindlefire #paperwhite #library
pickThis book was reminiscent of a John Green novel. It contained a male narrator, a mysterious female love interest, a tightly bonded group of friends, and witty banter. Not as witty as Green 😉. I was quickly invested in the characters and needed to know what would happen to them. The conclusion was meh, but the journey was enjoyable.
“I pictured her tragically; it never once occurred to me to picture her as the tragedy.”
I'm currently reading this book. The hardcover is ugly as hell but the book is so damn funny! Only on chapture 8 but I can tell this is gonna be one of those worth re-reading.
so-soI was liking this until the ending. Wtf?! I‘m sorry for the short vague review, but I‘m at a loss for words and mildly traumatized.
I decided to paint around the TV bracket on the wall instead of taking it off, and it was both more and less of a pain in the ass than I thought it would be. But I‘m finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! 👍 #AudioPainting
So, I might have gone a little crazy today with the Audible sale... 😆💸

pick#QuotsyMay18 • May 8|Everything • I loved the Beginning of Everything. Schneider really nails the mental side of life changing injury, especially in a young athlete.
Husband gave me an Amazon card to buy some books for my classroom.
I truly loved that book. It made me think about how a single moment can turn our whole lives around. But instead of giving up after a tragedy we can use it as a stepping stone to start over and discover who we really are. 😊
This book was so good that I devoured it in a couple of hours. 💖
Got these four books for 50 cents each! Have you guys heard of or read any of these before? I haven't heard of any of them, but they sound great! #stealofadeal #thriftstorefinds
pickFilled with sharp wit and endearing sarcasm, this contemporary YA novel appeals to fans of John Green and Ned Vizzini. The narrator was brilliant and a great character overall. Interesting story and surprising ending.

The Beginning of Everything was originally titled Severed Heads, Broken Hearts. It also had a different cover. I really liked the original title, so I was a little torn that it was changed. I do love the cover with the rollercoaster. ?

I'm currently working on my homework assignments, since I'm trying to get everything done or as many things as possible done before I start working again. I also want to try to read a little bit more of Fangirl because I have been reading this book for like a month.
Have an ALMIGHTY Day!

pickThis is one of the best books I've ever read. There were many plot twists, and I loved the story line between Ezra and Cassidy. I love how the characters develop over the course of the book, and overall it was really great. One of my absolute favorites!
The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places. -Ernest Hemingway
The #libraryhaul I just did had NONE of the books I originally wanted. All of those #tbr books were checked out, so I placed a hold for each one. Then, I got some other ones, cause what else should I have done? :)
The Beginning of Everything is my second Robyn Scheinder and I'm super excited. I loved Extraordinary Means.
so-so"It all got tangled together, her appearance and Toby coming back into my life and the first time I ever read a book that spoke to me, and the question of who I wanted to be in the aftermath of my personal tragedy."
Just a few of the debuts I own, a few of my favourites! #booktober
pickLike Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska, this YA novel features a stuck-in-rut upper middle class boy whose life is turned upside down when he mets a mysterious, wild, beautiful but troubled girl. I had some mixed feelings about that. But, also like Green's stories, this one is full of philosophical musings, clever humor and a search for larger truths. The concluding message is solid and timeless. Thumbs up for those bits!
Day 11 - shades of blue - Wow I have a lot of blue books! Here are a few. #septphotochallenge #somethingforsept
I love my kids, but it's been 15 years now since I've been able to read a book uninterrupted. 😫 This book looks promising, but at this rate, it may take weeks to find out.
pickNot a typical ending 😉 But with debate and other references, it's good enough ✨
