Booked with Abby

 It's the last month of 2021 and I'm ready for this year to be over. I've almost completed my Goodread's challenge for the year and there are a few more books I want to finish before January 1. All I Want for Christmas is the Girl is the Girl Who Can't Love by Chelsea Bobluski As part of my 12 months, 12 series challenge, I want to finish the All I Want for Christmas series by Chelsea Bobluski. One of my favorite parts of this series is the books can be read in any order. Goodreads synopsis: College freshman Savannah Mason doesn't believe in magic or true love. She believes in science, and science tells her that love is nothing more than a biological impulse to breed- an impulse that can, thankfully, be ignored. Which is a good thing because no woman in her family has ever been lucky in love. In fact, all of them have ended up broken-hearted and insist on blaming a mysterious vengeful curse. But Savannah is determined to rewrite her story, and as far as she...

 Summers ending soon! At the end of August, I go back to school. Before then though, I go on vacation to Rhode Island where hopefully, I'll get to do lots of beach reading. So, here are five books I want to read in August. The Toll  by Neal Shusterman The Toll is the final book in the Arc of a Scythe  trilogy. I'm so excited to read it, especially since Thunderhead off on a bit of a cliffhanger.

The Sky Blues  by Robbie Couch I'll be starting off pride month with The Sky Blues . I'm sure that I'll love Sky.

Determined not to let anything ruin his senior year, Sky decides to make a splash at his high school's annual beach bum part by asking his crush, Ali, to prom- and he has thirty days to do it.

Well, we’ve officially survived one year in lockdown here in the US. Last March, we all left school, excited for two weeks off. What we weren’t expecting was for those two weeks to become a year full of masks, hand sanitizer, and distance learning.     I agree that this whole thing sucks. Luckily, I’ve found ways to keep in touch with my friends such as movie nights over Zoom. We watched Grease Live the other night.     Another thing I’ve been doing to keep my sanity is reading. And I’ve done a lot of reading. I started out picking just five books a month for my TBR but based on how fast I’ve been going through these books, I have six books on my TBR this month. The Henna Wars  by Adiba Jaigirdar The Henna Wars is a book that I’m really excited to read! It’s diverse, it has LGBTQ representation- what’s not to love? I am fully confident that this will be a 5 star reads.  Synopsis: Wh en Nishat comes out to her parents, they say she can be anyone she wants- ...
