I'm always so busy at the beginning of the week but then I try to make more time for myself as the week progresses. That's my excuse for me procrastinating on work at least!
Anyway, I went to the library recently and got some books that I'm super excited about. I also got the "Good Reads" app, where you can log all the books you've read and create lists of books you want to read. You can also search for recommended books, based off what you've read before and your interests. Nerdy, I know, but I love the app so much and I've already read 9 books this year!!
A few weeks ago I finished reading the Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson. It's a pretty new book and I absolutely loved it.
This weekend I finished Something Like Normal by Trish Doller and You Against Me by Jenny Downham. I would say that I liked Something Like Normal better just because it was something different. You Against Me had a great concept but it just didn't pull me in as much as Something Like Normal.
Where the Stars Still Shine by Trish Doller is the book I finished today. It's about a girl named Callie who's been living her life with her mom, however her mom kidnapped her as a toddler. Callie's mom gets caught and Callie is sent to her dad. Now she has to learn to live a normal life but of course that comes with some challenges. I really liked this book because kidnapping is such a crazy thing and it was written very well. You are able to see what being kidnapped can do to a child and also how it affects not just the child but a multitude of people after the fact.
I also got Breaking Beautiful by Jennifer Shaw Wolf, Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins, and Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry (who is friends with me on Good Reads). Pushing the Limits is a series which I want to read over spring break (I'm going to Key West, Florida, in two weeks!!)
Finally, what I'm reading now is Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. The name pretty much describes my life perfectly and I'm really excited to see what happens throughout the novel.
Hopefully you all are having a great week and I'll see you tomorrow for my next "Grateful Thursday".
