Favorite Thing: The descriptions of the set design. This book has made me look at movies and tv shows with a whole new eye, sometimes pausing to take it all in, because the character’s love just shines through in a contagious way.
Least Favorite Thing: I mean… I kinda hate the cover art on this version…
Honestly, everyone should read a book by Nina LaCour, she’s really becoming a real favorite of mine.

Favorite Thing: Biracial family in a picture book!
Least Favorite Thing: No one has managed to bottle the smell of a picture book for me yet so I had to pause after every page to sniff the book.
I don’t know what inspired me to read a picture book, of all things, but I really enjoyed this cute little book. If you are looking for children’s books this would be a great one.

Favorite Thing: The descriptions of all the tall girls in the book.
Least Favorite Thing: The use of the r-slur that one time.
I am working on a Sarah Dessen reread and I prefer to read them in published order, so obviously this one is first. I liked it a little less this time around, but I’m not sure if that’s due to my outgrowing the books or something else. I suppose I’ll figure it out soon enough.

Favorite Thing: SO PUNNY
Least Favorite Thing: The Humbug annoys me, but only vaguely.
I haven’t read this since I was a kid and I remembered loving it, so I read it again. And I loved it again! Honestly, I know I’ve said this over and over, but everyone should read this book.
