I only knew some very basics about LDS when I read Autoboyography and it was interesting to learn more. I thought Christina Lauren handled it really well - presented both the good and the not so good aspects of the Church without being judgmental or painting them in an all-negative light. I can't wait to read your thoughts about The Problem with Forever! I'm slowly making my way through my inbox - there are a lot of posts I missed over the last two weeks or so.Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-25685362466247742372018-09-01T05:57:04.230-04:002018-09-01T05:57:04.230-04:00That's excellent news, Nic!

I have no idea why that has stuck with me! I'm currently reading Rainbow Rowell's Runaways comic -- sooo good. Autoboyography I loved -- I wasn't familiar with the LDS community, so it was nice to see that aspect of the story. I also recently finished The Problem With Forever and reviewed it on my blog! It was such a heartbreaking and heartwarming story. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.doyoudog-ear.com/" rel="nofollow">Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear?</a>Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-6780976719366369592018-08-30T09:36:02.938-04:002018-08-30T09:36:02.938-04:00*sigh* Don’t we all... :)*sigh* Don’t we all... :)Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-76213093542194288112018-08-29T18:29:27.784-04:002018-08-29T18:29:27.784-04:00I haven't read a single one of these but 6 of ...I haven't read a single one of these but 6 of them are on my physical shelves. *hangs head* I need more reading time!
