So…if you’re wondering why I haven’t said, “Oh My God! You have got to read this book!” lately it’s because I haven’t been reading. Really! Seriously. Hard to believe, isn’t it? I just haven’t felt like it. Three weekends in a row, I listened to audio books and in between I read nothing! See the post below to read about the first audio book, GODS BEHAVING BADLY.

aimee.jpgI have a few library books on my shelf that look good, but I was waiting for something to really make me say, “I gotta read this right now!” and so when THE YEAR MY SISTER GOT LUCKY arrived (I’d had it on hold) at the library for me, I knew I’d found the book I wanted to read. This is such a great read. It’s everything a YA should be. And it got me with the first sentence. “I’m an insomniac.” Now that might not hook everyone, but I can sleep like I’m a pro, so the idea of someone being an insomniac is interesting to me. I can’t help but wonder what that might be like! Actually, if I’m totally honest, I think this book actually hooked me with its title. Can you think of a title that makes you want to know what happens more than this one? Great title! Oh, by the way, the author is Aimee Friedman and she has other books out that I’ll be sure to get my hands on.

What about y’all? Are you reading?
