^Oh my days, just about to start listening to that very book!!

I hope you like Sorry You Feel That Way- let me know what you think of it!

Also just finished The View On The Way Down also by Rebecca Wait. Another five stars but a difficult read because of the content.

That is very strange! Hope you like it.

I have no idea when i’ll get round to reading that book, i have such a huge to read list.

Started reading a novella to try and get my focus back - When I Awake - Dani Atkins.

Have you ever tried reading YA fiction Lindsay? I find them so easy to read and could be helpful for focus?

Also I got a goodreads email about this and thought it looked very interesting! Alas, I’m on the edge of a rabbit hole of another specific genre to read in a short space of time so other reading may have to wait!

I think i have read some YA fiction. Do you have any recommendations? What book are you quoting in your second post?

Abby’s Story - Louise Allen.

whoops, sorry I forgot the title won't be there when I quote! It was What Lies Buried.

So I've only read two and they were both in my stint of reading books about body acceptance for my workshop and I loved them both. If I were to choose one, I'd go for Toxic by Natasha Devon. My next project is reading a bunch of YA novels for my Pride group so will have a bunch of queer recommendations soon!

[one_step_closer]

Do you ever get to just choose a book without a reason for reading it?! The author of What Lies Buried has also written another similar book.

[Pi.R^2]

Sometimes! But I'm so incredibly hyped for the queer YA books, it won't be a chore at all.

I spotted that Jacqueline Wilson has written a sequel to Sleepovers and downloaded that to listen to - have you read the original? She's written this sequel 20+ years later, set just after the original, as if that's reasonable :P

[one_step_closer]

Haha! I think i read some Jacqueline Wilson growing up but remember nothing about the books.

Just finished this! Fives stars but I think I might be a bit more generous with my stars than Lindsay :P

Now listening to Jamie by L.D.Lapinski. Also have it on the pile to physically read but will get through them faster if I listen to some of them too, especially because I listen at x2.2 speed...

[one_step_closer]

You are definitely more generous with your stars! I rarely give anything 5 stars. Plus I feel weird giving foster carer memoirs high stars because of the content.

Find Her - Lisa Gardner.

[Pi.R^2]

Assume we all want an update on my recent reads!

If It Makes You Happy - Claire Kann - 4 stars
Jamie - L.D.Lapinski - 5 stars
Nothing Ever Happens Here - Sarah Hagger-Holt - 4 stars
Melissa - Alex Gino - 4 stars

[one_step_closer]

Of course updates are required! Although I see your updates on Goodreads anyway.
