I have not been able to get our April book from my town's library as it has been checked out for the entire month. But I would like to know our May book.

April book??

So I certainly didn't expect to finish this book so quickly. I got a digital copy because it's currently on hold at the library and within a day and a half I've finished it.

I accidentally ended up reading a spoiler review about this book before it was chosen as the March book and I thought that was going to deter me from reading it but surprisingly that didn't happen.

I've found that reading digital copies tend to make me read faster which I don't necessarily enjoy so I think I'll probably get my own physical copy of this book to have.

I definitely think it's worth having. All of the drawings were so simple but added SO much to the story!! And I absolutely loved the Spoiler Reviews by Madeline!!

I've read some really critical reviews about this book and I don't agree with them at all. I was really taken with the story and even though I knew what was going to happen I think that it was written so cleverly and thoughtfully that it was believable.

I am soooo stoked for the movie (WITH AMANDLA STENBERG AS MADDY

Thanks!!

What book is it? I don't see it attached. Sorry!

No worries!!

Do we have a book for march?!

This book took me awhile to get into but once I got a third of the way in I couldn't put it down. The amount of character development that Sam goes through in the span of five days is astounding but also believable.

There are heart-wrenching themes in this book but they're addressed in a way that isn't overwhelming.

I think the book is really well written and has good characterization.

I wish we had more lead up into San and Kent's relationship but with the time span I understand why that wasn't possible.

I think this book is very thought provoking and smart and I'm really glad I read it!

Oh it's no problem!! Thanks!!

For some reason the title of the book isn't showing on mobile? Could you tell me what the February book is?

Hi! I just finished this book and overall I think it was good! At times it honestly felt like a glorified version of "Beauty and the Beast" and there were some themes that I didn't quite enjoy. But the positives of the book outweigh the negatives and I would say it's definitely worth reading!

I just saved this book from the library so I hope to get it soon!
