Hell Bent
“Alex approached Black Elm as if she were sidling up to a wild animal, cautious in her walk up the long, curving driveway, careful not to show her fear. How many times had she made this walk? But today was different.”
from Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo

Quarantine Read-Along Time + First Pages: To All the Boys
“I like to save things. Not important things like whales or people or the environment. Silly things. Porcelain bells, the kind you get at souvenir ships.

Of all the things I save, I guess you could say my love letters are my most prize possession.”
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han

My plan for escape? Books, of course.
