"When I write, I write for two people: myself, age twelve, and myself, now, and the book has to satisfy two distinct but connected appetites."

At long last! I've found an actual edition of this book! Youse can tell me "Sirah, it's Halloween season, not Christmas and snow season" but I'm prioritizing this one anyway. You don't know how many people I had to kill to get my hands on this book, and it has to go back to the library in a week. I'm so high on adrenaline right now. If this book isn't a 5 star, I may give up on reading forever.

Guys, this author just spent the first third of this book … persuading me to read this book.

I'm irrationally irritated that the cookies featured on the cover are macarons, not macaroons.

I know I’ve barely started this book, but I love these boys with my whole heart.
Clearly, nothing can possibly go wrong …

Oh good, there's already a dead body. My favorite kind of mystery.

Wow, did these poems actually get ... worse? I really liked the first few chapters, but what is this stuff in the middle?

Most books start with some sort of unhappiness. That's how plots work. The unhappiness so far in this book is crushing me.
Also, this is definitely not a graphic novel, so ignore that tag.

I'm ready to weep again.

I was a lil skeptical about this one, so I read a few reviews. Now I'm sticking around because I want to see if it's actually as bad as everyone says. So far, it's pretty ok tho, dare I even say ... enjoyable?

It was so cute, but then I was ambushed by a wild miscommunication trope! Literally still cringing hours later.
You could say romantic comedy doesn’t really work for me.

Yes! I got the ARC for this. I've been wanting it for forever, and friends, with a cover like this, I can't imagine being disappointed ♥

"I wonder how adults learn to live with this feeling that the past is always growing bigger, that you're always losing more of yourself to it."

"Wherever we go," I said, "we'll all have things waiting for us elsewhere."

Still so good :')

Principal: I see that these 20-some children are bullying and fighting one another. I know how to fix it. I'll send them on a quest, and along the way they'll be exposed to an extremely addictive substance that causes them to turn on each other when they don't have it. That'll teach 'em teamwork and hope.

I loved the beginning of Wicked Waterpark, but the ending dropped off a bit. So far, the beginning of Vampiric Vacation isn’t super strong, but I’m hoping that means the ending will have me in stitches

This book is going to be over way too soon. I have no idea what’s going on, but I love every second of it

No! Not another “I can’t breathe in a corset” scene! I was enjoying this book so much :(
