1) My most active current reads are: #ayeshaatlast, #theglasshotel, and #thestarlesssea.
2) I struggle with favorites but still say #tokillamockingbird, which I've loved for sixteen years and which is where my handle comes from.

We all are, or have once been wallflowers. The shy creatures of the universe, strangled in a problematic world where everything is so confusing and hard.
It is an emotional, but very realistic story, about one kid, and all the things he learns while growing up. By learning things the hard way, by listening, by watching things happen to his friends and family, by just being a wallflower.

I've never read TFIOS, and probably never will (I sometimes staunchly oppose reading super popular books ?♀️), but Looking for Alaska holds a bit of my soul, so I gave TATWD a shot. Glad I did. Before I knew it, I was down to the last page and half and had tears in my eyes. If you appreciate LFA or The Perks of Being a Wallflower, I recommend TATWD. ???
pickI read this book when I was 15 years old, which was right around the time it was published (1999). At the time, I probably only chose to read it because it was published by MTV, lol. Regardless, I ended up loving it and thinking it was my generation‘s Catcher in the Rye. I‘ve not seen the film, nor have I re-read the book since, but I‘m thinking next year I will re-read for the 20th anniversary.

I don't think I can truly convey how much I loved this book other than to say it was a life changing experience for me. It felt so good to read. It's one of those books where you really want to finish it, but at the same time you really don't want to finish it, because then it'll be over.

9) Make more time for reading, put less pressure on myself to finish books quickly, read more books that I'm super excited to read, fully fall into the world of a book more often.
10) In a coffeeshop with a lot of wood and windows, or outside surrounded by trees or by a body of water.
11) SO MANY, but I'll go with #charlieanderson. 5y
