Reread for #AuthorAMonth August #JudyBlume TBH, I wanted to reread Are You There God, It‘s Me, Margaret, especially since this one is the #ChildrensClassicRead2025 pick for September, but I‘m cheap & this one was available from the library in Ebook or audio, so I went ahead with it. It‘s also my #Roll100 pick for August (#41 Any Reread.) It all came back to me while listening & I cringed & winced my way through, being mad & annoyed ⬇️

3.2⭐️ the author begs you to check your trigger warnings with this book, so do I. She describes it as being dark, gritty, and containing a lot of topics that will be triggering and unsettling for some people. I think that‘s water down a little bit, because damn, this got dark really quick. Definitely a horror dark romance and the content is depraved. If that‘s not anything you enjoy, don‘t pick up this book. #41 for #Roll100

Dammit, I need to read the third book immediately. Because this ending was not remotely an ending. I hate that. Good thing I don't have any real plans for the weekend. #41-2025

This was so good..I figured out the who, but still a great book

Another highly recommended, plotless book. It‘s just a story of their lives, with too much detail on the mundane and no depth into the main life events. The FMC is unlikable, and I felt nothing for her when negative things happen to her. This book was much too long and dragged on. The first half was boring, the second half picked up a little bit. Book #41 in 2025

Last year I did the 100 New-To-Me albums challenge. I listened to 100 albums I'd never heard before. You can see them listed in the link below. I'm doing the challenge again this year - any recommendations for albums to check out?

Finished belatedly for #Roll100 in September (#41 Any Book of Stories) I both read & listened to it, having been drawn to it as a #BOTM selection months ago. This is where #BOTM gets it right, selecting Diane Oliver, an author who tragically died in a motorcycle accident in 1966 at just 22 with 4 stories published + 2 more posthumously. This collection is 14 stories & while not all of them were perfect, they are amazingly good & ⬇️

Love is in the air at SVMS! Jessica crushes on Todd, totally oblivious to how he keeps bringing up Elizabeth! Soon everyone has crushes (Steven even has 2 girlfriends!), but Liz tries to stay out of the romance drama, she has a secret—she also has a crush on Todd! The Unicorns start a rumor that Liz is looking for a boyfriend & boys start throwing themselves at her, she only has eyes for Todd. At the bowling alley, Liz & Todd share a (cheek) kiss!
