I am late for #hyggehourReadathon. I‘m reading my #bookspin book and listening to folks in the neighborhood still setting off firecrackers. 🙄

LeafingThroughLife
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) 9h

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.

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.

As a member of the mixtape generation, I am compelled to say that this playlist is a work in progress. There's some "transitions" I need to fill in yet. ?

“I didn't used to overthink my choices quite so much. Then someone made what I've always been told is a very important choice for me, and now I tend to overthink everything else.”

#JuneSpecials Day 30: from Fats‘ review: If the story of Firegirl were to be divided into sections, there would be a Before, During, and After Jessica Feeney—mostly applicable to Tom. Prior to her arrival, Tom Bender liked to daydream about the beautiful Courtney Zisky, and had high hopes of riding a Cobra, a 1960s #SportsCar, someday.“ Full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7yY

Just me reliving my childhood thanks to Dollar Tree. My best friend and I were obsessed with Judy Blume in the fourth and fifth grade. Judy was the messiah to Gen X. I have been feeling down lately so I guess the nostalgia is hitting me hard. I wonder if I can find a tree to climb so I can sit and read. ☺️ #judyblume #genxreader
