my first goosebumps book ever in my whole life! ate that ish up in two days. Super fun and easy to digest!

I did get a little confused at the end because I was listening and doing other stuff at the same time, so I did miss out on some plot points.

Sarabeth is evil, I guess?

I’ll have to read a story summary lol

was kind of big bored the whole time, sorry Joan 

Also, there’s so many parts where they talk about how tall she was, “taller than all the men in my village”. I looked it up, that b was like 5’3” maybe??? Was that considered tall in the 1400s?? What was the average height ??? 

I can’t say i retained any information about what she actually did or why she died, so I will be reading the Wikipedia page 

rip to her doggie

i LOVED this. Very cute, very fun. Really having a good time reading these children’s classics that I never read as an adult. It’s really fun for me. Love the BFG. Sophie is so cute I love her. I’m so glad

they live happily ever after together :’)

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

she really was just a young girl …  with a complicated relationship with her mother and her body and her sexuality. She was so articulate and well spoken, I was nothing like that at 13. 

happy late pride month, Anne Frank
