History is all you left me by Adam Silvera
People are complicated puzzles, always trying to piece together a complete picture, but sometimes we get it wrong and sometimes weâre left unfinished. Sometimes thatâs for the best. Some pieces canât be forced into a puzzle, or at least they shouldnât be, because they wonât make sense.

Did I buy another subscription box even though the mailing system in my country is a travesty? Yes. Was it worth it?? Absolutely
Wildest Dreams Box was the only one I knew that was actually doing a Pride theme during the Pride Month, so it was an obvious choice.
The theme for June was: Love, YA (yes, because of Love, Simon. It’s perfect)

I saw this challenge back at The Bookish Chick and decided to give it a try (here’s to hoping I don’t forget in a couple of days)
The challenge goes like this:
- I’ll do it once a week
- Each post is dedicated to a letter and so I have to name memorable books Iâve read containing the letter
- I’ll take a page of thebookishchick and also add books from my TBR
WEEK 2
Memorable books with the letter B

The challenge was created by Kristin Kraves Books
How to do this tag:Â Find a book that contains (either on the cover or in the title) an example for each category. You must have a separate book for all 20, get as creative as you want and do it within five minutes!
