This was a book that stayed with me in ways I didn't expect. "I was here" has always been a tough concept for me, do we matter, do we ever do "enough"? But the bottom line is that everyone leaves a mark in some way or another, everyone was, in fact, here.

3 subway stops • 2 bookstores • 1 new book from an author who hasn't been on this Earth for 77 years • unlimited excitement
I like to picture what Fitzgerald would be like with a new book release in the way we've come to know him- drunk and impatiently awaiting the reviews and sales of his new release.
Don't worry Scott- the world finally realized you're one of the best

A few months ago I got this book through #kindlefirst . It wasn't what I normally read but I put it onto my kindle and forgot about it. A few days ago I found myself on the subway with nothing to read and rediscovered this book. The past few days I have followed the beautiful story of a 16 year old Japanese American doing her best to survive alone in WWII Japan. Today I finished as we remember Pearl Harbor. The timing could not have been better.

I was worried about setting the fire alarm off with this picture- but I'm super excited to read the book!

Finally finding time in this super busy month to start reading It Ends With Us and I couldn't be more excited. I've read a few other books by Colleen Hoover and I've always enjoyed them, so I have high hopes for this one

Finally closing the cover on this book (after reading the last page and a half about 15 times) and I am in awe of this novel. It took me along on an adventure I didn't know I needed. Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour bookstore was the right book exactly, at exactly the right time.

"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."

I've always loved the fall, it reminds me of my favorite book! (^^) This year I'm extra sad to see it slip away to colder weather.
