My friend who is an elementary school teacher has been shoving it in my face to read since I started my Newbery Award Challenge.📗✨<br /><br />I have to finish The Goldfinch. I had to set it aside when I was first reading it because I had around ten ARCs to read one month (I know better now, ha ha) and although I was loving it, I never got back to it. Have you read The Goldfinch? The Secret History sounds like something I would love.<br />👍✨<br /><br />I have not read The Book Thief or Code Verity, yet. The Book Thief is a definite read on my list for next year. 📚<br /><br />La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-50609652284329298742018-11-29T19:54:04.346-07:002018-11-29T19:54:04.346-07:00Ahh I forgot about The Book Thief and Perks!
