I really didn‘t expect to like this book as much as I did! True, it was serious and pretty heavy- handed, but the characters leapt off the page. They were vivid and sympathetic- this really is essential reading for teens.

Happy Mother‘s Day, Mamas. ❤️
Last book for this week's homework! I really should've done some of this over spring break, yeesh. 😮💨
I always am hesitant when a book is a memoir and there‘s full conversations. Yes, the author probably didn‘t have a great childhood but I feel like there are worse childhoods. Sometimes I felt like it was all look at my ancestors and look how I have to live. I couldn‘t relate to the author. I was expecting more from this book and really disappointed.
Oh lort. Just got the message from Libby that this is due in 3 days and there are people waiting, which means I have to cram 5 hours of this into 3 days which, let me tell you, I am not looking forward to. This is f*n GRIM and is affecting my day-to-day mood (#privilege, I know). I hate reading books like this (it‘s a book club pick). The Grueling Saga of Torments has to be one of my least favorite genres.
(It‘s well-written and all that)
This is by far the WORST of the 301 books I‘ve read so far this year. Just a hot mess! I like memoirs to have a plot or purpose. This is just a bunch of strewn together stories about eccentric descendants of John Jacob Astor who are living in a run-down mansion. No author, I really don‘t need to know the seating arrangements at EVERY MEAL!! Ugh! Even Tavia Gilbert‘s excellent narration couldn‘t save this pile of 💩. #audiobook

This book was such a great read. I love this cocer too 😍 The main character is an artist who makes collages, so this cover is very fitting. #LittenListen @aperfectmjk
