Out of Place | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne
post image

Born in the wrong decade —
awkward, out of place — ready
to travel through time.

Been feeling this way since high school. Where‘s my time machine? 🤔

#haikuhive #haikuaday #poetry #retroart

AnnCrystal A time machine would be lovely. I've been obsessed with time machines since I was a kid. I even wrote one into my duology. When a teenager, I once worked on dollar store clocks until I figured out how to make them tick backwards 😂. 👏🏼🐝👍🏼☺️🐝💝. 13h
JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal that is so cool!! I‘ve been obsessed with time traveling since watching Back To The Future when I was a kid (over and over and over again 😵‍💫) — that and when Steve Urkel made a time machine and became Stefan Urkelle 😆😅😅 And now I get my fix with Outlander and Kelley Armstrong books. Nerds unite!! 🤓📚🤓🤗♥️♥️♥️ 13h

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🤩 love the “Back to the Future“ movies 💝💝💝... love almost any time travel movie and story.

Some time ago, I was excited about the Outlander series showing reruns on TV. When I started watching it...it took way too long to figure out that I was actually watching Highlander 😂 which I used to watch as a kid, so don't ask me why i was so easily fooled 😂🎬💝...

AnnCrystal I will catch Outlander one day...😂...or I will stumble across a book. 12h
JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal lol you just made me snort!! 😅😅😅 I can so see myself doing something like that. Outlander will scratch all of your time traveling itches. I love Diana Gabaldon‘s spin on time travel. Very clever and high stakes, smack dab in the middle of all of these major historical events. Very spicy if you don‘t mind such things! 12h
AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 😂👌🏼 I can't wait to be able to watch Outlander 🤩👍🏼🎬💝...I searched clips in the past, and it seem oh too good indeed ☺️💝. 12h
dabbe I feel the same way! Oh, and OUTLANDER. I have all of the (ahem) interesting sections marked for rereading purposes. 🤩😍🤩 3h

Yesterday‘s book swap scores while out and about. My sister and her crazy little family are visiting at the moment. We went across to Stockton on the ferry to a monster jumping castle, then to the park, lunch was at Betty‘s Burgers before heading out to do some shopping for my nephew‘s birthday. Home for a wine and a stretch before packing to leave at this ungodly hour, 4am to watch the full dress rehearsal of Frozen That my niece is performing in

Lock and Key | Sarah Dessen

Sarah Dessen has a formula: lost, vulnerable female narrators learning how to love and be loved. The formula works so well on me. When Ruby‘s mom disappears, she finds herself living with the sister she thought had abandoned her. As she tries to settle into private school, new friendships, and an idyllic life with her sister and brother-in-law, she can‘t help but feel out of place and as if her new life is only temporary. (1/2)

LeafingThroughLife As her walls start to come down, she begins to realize that she‘s not the only one who needs some help and for at least one of her new friends, she is the only one equipped to give it. As always, Dessen‘s full cast of characters is well-drawn and relatable, and Ruby‘s journey from abandonment to belonging has the perfectly satisfying emotional arc I‘ve come to expect from Sarah Dessen at her best. ❤️ (2/2) 4d

This was by far the best book in the trilogy!

Having read this before season 3 came out, I had limited knowledge on the plot line and went into this with few expectations.

Everything worked so well in this one. The book had the perfect amount of drama and suspense that the conclusion to the series needed.

In the Key of Us | Mariama J. Lockington

Read this book since it was Pride month & it‘s about a summer camp (I was at mine during early June for a few days). This is a great book for middle school/high school age, but the MCs have some heavy problems, including the death of one‘s mother & self-harm. Two girls go to a month-long music camp, meet new people, navigate friendships, crushes, & first romance, & try to improve their musical abilities. I enjoyed this.
