Booktok & Bookstagram ✿ discussion

Lucas’s journey is relatable and inspiring. I didn’t love every side plot, but the core story kept me reading, this book gave me a lot to think about regarding prejudice and family.

Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson! I'll never forget that book

For me, it was Divine Rivals/Ruthless Vows from Rebecca Ross. There was so much hope mixed with desperation and it was just so beautifully written.

A thousand boy kisses 🥲

Fabric of Our Souls by K.M Moronova 🥹

Yes.

The Words by Ashley Jade
The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros
The Plated Prisoner Series by Raven Kennedy

Yeah, The Cat That Went to Heaven.

Sunrise On the Reaping by Suzzane Collins, cried three times (hard)

I just finished the audiobook of "Grim" by Joe Arden and D.J. Krimmer last night (I started and finished it all yesterday), and the combination of the voice actors, the material being discussed in the book as a whole, and how well the scenes had been so carefully created by the authors resulted in two pretty intense sobbing events before I was even half way through the book, and I found myself bursting into ugly crying levels of tears off and on during the last 4-5 chapters. (In the authors' defense, I've become drastically more sensitive/empathetic to things like death/grief, heartbreak, etc over the last 10 years, so it all hit me VERY hard.)

There's been a few that made me cry, but the two that stand out the most for me are:

A Little Life and A Thousand Boy Kisses.

A thousand boy kisses had me in tears by Tillie Cole, heartbreaking 💔
