Autoboyography | Christina Lauren
post image
Pickpick

I absolutely adored this book. The cover is stunning. Tanner, the protagonist, is charming, creative, loving, vulnerable and everything you want in a main character. And what makes this book different than a lot of YA books I read, is that the parents are realistic and present and not tragic or oblivious. I give Autoboyography two very enthusiastic thumbs up!

I've decided to do a Serial Read (well, 2 actually) and have chosen both Jane Eyre and Anne of Green Gables: two books I have always wanted to read, but never did. I didn't purposely set out to read two books about orphans, it just happened that way. #24in48

Read4life I was at his first game at Yankee Stadium. Saw many games. Moved out of the area, but made sure my kids saw him play. Took them to two games at the Stadium the year he retired. #derekjeter 📚⚾️ 8y
SeeJanRead @Read4life I didn't get to see his first (that's awesome that you did!!!). Although, I did see one of his last games at Yankee Stadium. Tonight was truly special. He is just a stand up guy and someone to admire (even for non-Yankees fans). 8y

Another fantastic read from Becky Albertalli. I loved the relationships between the characters, many of whom are strong, independent females. Would definitely recommend this to YA fans of all ages.

The family we choose shapes us as much as the family into which we are born. Benjamin Alire Saenz beautifully displays the relationships between father and son, mothers and children, and friends. I loved this book.

I no longer have a heart because it is lying broken on the pages of this beautiful book. I feel sorry for people who dismiss YA as fluff or superficial, because they have robbed themselves of experiencing books like this one, that are raw and emotional and life changing. #ya #librarian #uglycrying.

SeeJanRead I actually have two. I received one in a subscription box and I won the other as a summer reading prize. The only place I've seen that sells them is Demco (library supplies -website). I would be happy to send you my duplicate mug- I don't need two. 8y
