Great to see the beginning story of some of the characters from THUG but this one didn't resonate quite as much with me. There were some notable lines but the themes just weren't as pronounced or thought provoking.

Loved the lyrical nature of Bennett's writing and the themes found throughout the book related to racial identity and passage of time. Definitely adding more from the author to my TBR.

A book that really brought me back to my teen years and perfectly fills the ATY prompt: a book that reminded me of summer. Loved the ending and the relationships developed.

Lighthearted, entertaining read with some deeper elements. I loved the notes between Tiffy and Leon but his language was a bit inconsistent and prevented me from getting into the flow of his voice.

Oh, Sadie. Surprisingly deep for a YA read that got me pensive by the end. This ending is a bit controversial but I think it‘s fitting for the final themes, as much as I hate to admit it.

Ready with my #BookSpinBingo card for January. Starting with the tagged book for “A book that fits a prompt suggestion that didn't make the final list (#ATY2021)“, using “A book with an illustrated cover“. I tried the audio of it in 2020 and while the format fit the book well, I can never seem to get into audiobooks. So I'm re-attempting with an ebook version.

BarbaraBB I‘m doing #ATY21 too - from 1 til 52. I love that challenge and am now reading ‘a book related to in the beginning‘. 3y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3y

Excited to get started with my 2021 Goals!

My husband gifted me a very fun poster for Christmas, with 100 epic books to read. I'm hoping to check off some of those this year and also complete the Around the Year 2021 challenge. And of course, I want to finally score a bingo for #BookSpinBingo

For fitness, I am participating in Adriene's 30 Day Yoga Journey and my Noom goal is to be down to about 170 pounds.

I always am motivated and inspired when a year comes to end, with excitement at setting intentions and reflecting on growth. This is at a whole new level now and I cannot wait to leave 2020 behind.

This year, I will be focusing on getting as caught up as possible with Around the Year, completing some of the books on the “Been There Done That“ Novelogue that my husband gifted me, and staying ahead of the Rainbow Covers.

And.... take two. I had to redo my board this time since a lot of the holds from the library are coming through slower than I anticipated. But it's a nice refresh in time for the #ATY2020 read-a-thon this week!

BarbaraBB I‘m busy planning #ATY2021. Love it! 3y
