#LittensLoveRomance Ch.13-14: I love me some spice in a book - but dare I say it - the past few chapters there hasn‘t been a whole lot else. It‘s a bit difficult to find things to talk about other than Violet‘s obsession with the MC. Except - we called it in that she‘s very insecure and got twisted over an innocent picture. It‘s a good thing Alex is willing to put up with her crazy. ⬇️
This reveal shocked me!! I‘m reading this on a road trip and have been curious how the three perspectives were connected, it is so fun that Mr. Howe is the nerdy turtle lover in the third POV. It reveals a lot about his background and nature. This reminds me of a book I recently read named “Death of the Author” by Nnedi Okorafor. She had a similar POV reveal, although it was slightly more dramatic.
“They were a pair in the same way a pair of headphones was a pair — connected and sharing a music only they possessed.”
I love this quote. There are several types of love and relationships (e.g. platonic, romantic, familial, etc.) and I feel like this quote could encompass several meanings depending on the context.
I love this definition of meaning. As a pre-ELA teacher, it is cool to see authors teach readers via their characters. I‘d be interested to see if my students would care or pick up on this definition while reading independently.
I like how Mr. Howe is portrayed so far. He is showing restraint in how he talks to, displaying how teachers often feel as though they are voiceless due to the pressure from society. He seems invested in his students.
I literally just started this book and wanted to comment on the phrase “It would be a good idea to stop and consider what you think about this sentence” (pg. 2). I love that the author instructs the reader to pause while reading and muse over what the sentence above means to them. The repetition indicates it is an important sentence, but as a teacher it is cool to have more explicit instruction for students within the text, from the author.
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.11-12: this meme works for a couple reasons - 1st - sorry for tagging you in my other readalong the past couple nights - totally my bad 🤦♀️ 2nd - violet just said I love you…during sex. Whoops. And they did it without proper protection - double whoops. They really lose their minds when they get together it seems. They have some insane chemistry but otherwise can be so awkward. ⬇️
pickThis was a fun little novella that acts as a prequel to A Good Girls Guide to Murder. Connor invites the gang over for a murder mystery party and sparks the idea for Pip‘s senior Capstone project.
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.9-10: so their coffee date went really well (how cute is it that Alex ordered hot chocolate?) and their dinner date went really well (aside from Alex being exposed to Violet‘s mom for a couple minutes at the beginning there) - why do I get the feeling something bad is going to happen to derail things? I mean, even if they started seeing each other, Violet will still be jealous or insecure about what‘s happening on the road.
