panSo many issues with this book. Transphobia, homophobia, fat-shaming... And that's just to start. I hated this one.
If you have time for it, I posted a longer, more detailed review here: https://bennilovesbooks.wordpress.com/2017/08/11/review-almost-perfect-by-brian-...
I recommend reading If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo instead. It handles this topic MUCH better.

pickTHIS BOOK IS THE CUTEST. It follows a cat named Misty going about her day, and I've been sending pictures of pages to my younger brother because this cat resembles OUR cat Misty to a very scary degree. It's incredibly charming, and anyone who loves cats and comics and wants a quick read will really enjoy this one. I'm going to be buying a copy for myself, as this was a library copy. Super happy with this one! #catsandbooks
Time for some light, post #24in48 reading!
I've read roughly 24 hours and 2 minutes in the last 48 hours! Apparently my last book was exactly the length I needed it to be. #challengecompleted #24in48
Coco says I have enough #24in48 readathon time left for one more book. :) #amreading
There we go -- finally got Coco to sit still for a photo with my TBR pile! She hasn't wanted to pose much today.
Literary dinner party challenge: I would want the Weasley twins (Harry Potter) and the three Baudelaire siblings (A Series of Unfortunate Events) at my dinner party. So many cunning, creative minds in one place!

I won a thing! 😊 Thank you to the lovely hosts and donors!
I still have roughly five more hours of reading to do with seven hours left to do it in and I just finished a book, so I'm taking a quick break to brew some iced tea before deciding what to read next!

Coco isn't in the mood for photos today, but how can you resist the #swagrid challenge? That's a good pun!

It's the PST halfway point and I'm behind. It's okay. I can still do this!

10:30 PM snack time! I have crescent rolls with minced garlic, a peanut butter protein bar, and dark chocolate almond milk. After a quick bite to eat, I'll be getting back to Half-Blood Prince! I'm about a third of the way through.

Time for another book? Coco thinks so!

McGonagall is my favorite.

Came home from the library reading group with more books! Now I'll definitely have enough reading material for the weekend. I think.

Someone's sleepy...
Time for the #24in48 #hour12challenge!
I don't read audio books often, so I'll be doing the three bookish destinations.
1.) Hogwarts. That's a given.
2.) Castle Rock. Gotta get Stephen King in there.
3.) Shakespeare and Company, Paris. I would just love to go back. Best bookshop ever.
I'll be going back to my Harry Potter reread shortly, and then I'll be hopping over to the library for book group!
It's a #shelfie with a kitty!
I'm just waking up so I haven't started my reading yet, but I'll be diving right in shortly!

So I'm kind of winging it for the #24in48 Readathon, and my reading selections are either 1.) what I checked out from my library already, or 2.) part of the Harry Potter reread I'd already started. Not sure if I'll need more books, but if I do then I'm sure I can find something!

New to Litsy! I'm giving it a try because I decided to participate in the 24 in 48 Readathon on a whim. 😬 Starts in just a few hours!
So, hi. I'm Benni, and this fluffy cutie posing with I Am Malala is my tuxedo cat Coco, and she adores books and pestering me while I'm trying to read. She's my little library cat.
