I started Furia, but it didn't work for me. I'm excited that my library has copies of Halal Hot Dogs! I just have to wait for it.

(A lot of the YA I read ends up being graphic novels, I think just because so many YA books are a bit longer than I prefer.) And I have a copy of Kiyoshi's Walk waiting to be read!<br /><br />I'm sorry you had a bad time with The Plot—I've heard good things about it too, but I really do get the sense that, with adult books, there's a sizable amount of them that just don't have much going on, and it's a lot harder to track down the ones that are really well-written and interesting! I feel like, with kidlit, I can often pick up whatever and be utterly blown away (or at least interested).<br /><br />Don't stress about commenting! I wish your daughter well at the Paralympics, and I am excited to hear how things go for her! And I wish you well in getting your daughter ready to head off to the Paralympics as well! Thanks so much for the great post!Max @ Completely Full Bookshelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466405075405012116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-23394290372909580482021-08-09T10:46:04.477-07:002021-08-09T10:46:04.477-07:00I feel the same way about adult fiction.

Just ordered Halal Hot Dogs.

I got it from the library and tried starting it a few times - I couldn't get into it so I just abandoned it. How exciting for your daughter - best of luck to her!Lisa Maucionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17391834262945101696noreply@blogger.com
