Read an Excerpt: I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman!

From the bestselling creator of HEARTSTOPPER and LOVELESS, a deeply funny and deeply moving exploration of identity, friendship, and fame.

For Angel Rahimi life is about one thing: The Ark – a boy band that’s taking the world by storm. Being part of The Ark’s fandom has given her everything she loves – her friend Juliet, her dreams, her place in the world. Her Muslim family doesn’t understand the band’s allure – but Angel feels there are things about her they’ll never understand.

Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark. He’s their frontman – and playing in a band with his mates is all he ever dreamed of doing, even it only amplifies his anxiety. The fans are very accepting that he’s trans – but they also keep shipping with him with his longtime friend and bandmate, Rowan. But Jimmy and Rowan are just friends – and Rowan has a secret girlfriend the fans can never know about. Dreams don’t always turn out the way you think and when Jimmy and Angel are unexpectedly thrust together, they find out how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be.

A funny, wise, and heartbreakingly true coming of age novel. I Was Born for This is a stunning reflection of modern teenage life, and the power of believing in something – especially yourself.

“Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It’s disgusting, and I can’t stop” Holly Black

A latte and macaron to start my Sunday morning!! Lots of homework though :(

A few days ago, Michigan’s first Goodwill Bookstore opened its doors in Bedford. I was shocked at how well the building was designed and decorated (you couldn’t tell it was a Goodwill store). I enjoyed the selection, especially the large fiction section. Most books were only $1 or $2, so people were clearing out the place. Being the first day, it was a little busy, but a cute place to sit and read in the future.

This week is the official start of spring break at the University of Michigan, so I had to say goodbye to Ann Arbor in the only way I knew how - a coffee, macaron, and study sesh. Next week, there will be a lot more book content; I cannot way to sit down with some hot chocolate or latte and read.
