This is a picture of Andrew Smith, my all time favorite author. Over the past weekend, I got to meet him, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Now, you may be wondering why this guy is not just my all time favorite author, but also one of my favorite people, and I am going to tell you all about it. Two and a half years ago, I didn’t even know who this guy was, let alone that he wrote books. I was really big into BookTube, and even though I didn’t make videos, I loved being a part of the community. One day, I heard about Winger , and honestly I wasn’t really interested in the book. I had heard so many good things about it though that I had to read it, and I am so glad I did. Within five pages, I kid you not, it was my favorite book, and it still is today. Over the span of my life, I have read over 300 books, and I have never been more attached to a set of characters. Ryan Dean stole my heart from the minute I met him, and his story then shattered my heart into a...
Mateo is going to die. Of course, he has to die sometime but he’s going to specifically die today. He knows because DeathCast called him at midnight letting him know. Mateo is eighteen. Rufus is seventeen and he is also going to die today. Neither of them are ready to go out. Mateo’s anxiety has made it so that he’s barely lived and Rufus is just rebuilding his life after his family died three months ago. Through the Last Friend app, Mateo and Rufus are able to connect and attempt to live their last day to the fullest, literally. Oh, and they might fall in love along the way. So my love for Adam Silvera is at full capacity right now. Not only is he basically the coolest person ever, he released two books this year. The first one, History Is All You Left Me was an automatic all time favorite of mine. Also, exciting news, he’s coming to my library in December (AHHHH)! Basically, my life is made. Of course, I had to read They Both Die at the End as soon as it came out and I feel like...
I'll be honest, the month of November was a hard month here in the U.S. In my opinion, we elected someone that is really not fit to be president, and we'll have to deal with the consequences for many years to come. I didn't really feel like reading this month, but I got to seven books. The first book I read in November was the incredible Still Life With Tornado by A.S. King. I actually wasn’t even anticipating of reading this book this year, but on a whim I bought it with a Barnes & Noble gift card. I started reading it soon after it arrived at my house, and my mind was blown. It was incredible, and I really liked that it didn’t have a romance in it, but purely focused on our main character, Sarah. 5 stars. See my review here . Next I read Lily and Dunkin , the first middle grade novel I’ve read in years. Donna Gephart, the author, actually reached out to me and sent me this book with no strings attached. She didn’t even expect a review. For the mo...
