“For some people, silence is a weapon. For Mallory “Mouse” Dodge, it’s a shield. Growing up, she learned that the best way to survive was to say nothing. And even though it’s been four years since her nightmare ended, she’s beginning to worry that the fear that holds her back will last a lifetime.

Now, after years of homeschooling with loving adoptive parents, Mallory must face a new milestone—spending her senior year at public high school. But of all the terrifying and exhilarating scenarios she’s imagined, there’s one she never dreamed of—that she’d run into Rider Stark, the friend and protector she hasn’t seen since childhood, on her very first day.

It doesn’t take long for Mallory to realize that the connection she shared with Rider never really faded. Yet the deeper their bond grows, the more it becomes apparent that she’s not the only one grappling with the lingering scars from the past. And as she watches Rider’s life spiral out of control, Mallory faces a choice between staying silent and speaking out—for the people she loves, the life she wants, and the truths that need to be heard.” -Goodreads

October Wrap-Up & September TBR

Hey. So it looks like I only finished two books this month. Oops, I did it again…

I am reading the last two books and I would have finished my goal if I had not taken so long on the Great Gatsby. I thought maybe I could finish the books by today a few days after the October but it didn’t work out so here I am posting another wrap-up of shame.

Books I read in October:

I am very ashamed but I will try harder this month. I will be finishing two books soon so hopefully that puts me in good standing with my reading.

Book to be read in November:

  • Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
  • Shadows of Doon by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon
  • A Separate Peace by John Knowles
  • Its Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini

I am already reading the first three book. A Separate Peace is a book we are reading for class so it will take me longer and I don’t know if we are scheduled to finish  it before the month ends. I will hope to actually finish and maybe read another book. I hope you all like this post. Thank for reading!
