I did this last year (click HERE to read the first one, or just search "30 Days of Gratitude" in the search box) so I'm going to do something a little different this year. I'm going to write about something I'm grateful for every day for 30 days, but I can't repeat anything I said the last year. :) Shouldn't be too hard.
Today I'm grateful for . . . Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. It’s such a simple, sweet, heartbreaking book that’s very
character-driven (my favorite kind). You feel so much for these
characters that you’re almost surprised to find that they’re fictional.
You get so attached to them that they’re almost like your best friends,
no, family. I finished it wishing I hadn’t, because I couldn’t ever read
that book again for the first time.

30 Days of Gratitude--Day 1
Labels:
30 Days of Gratitude,
The Magic Violinist
I am 21-year-old author, actress, daydreamer, voracious reader, introvert, klutz, fangirl, and overuser of tape. I love the impossible (which might explain my obsessions with YA novels) but I dip into the real world . . . occasionally. I’m a big fan of dogs, Broadway musicals, and bittersweet endings. When I'm not hunched over a laptop writing a new story, you can find me onstage in whatever theatrical production I've allowed to take over my life. I am a contributor to the “Fauxpocalypse” anthology and the author of “Instructions for Flight” and “Ghost Light,” both collections of poetry. You can follow me on Twitter and Instagram at @KateIFoley.

What a great book! I know Mommy keeps talking about it, but it is a fantastic book. I'm looking forward to reading Fangirl, once I can get my hands on it!
LOVE that book! ITCHING to read Fangirl, but making myself NOT pick up the book until after NaNoWriMo - what was Daddy thinking ordering that for us right now? ;)
I can't wait to read it, either! :D
I went to the library Saturday and was disappointed that this book wasn't there and that there were something like 20 holds ahead of me, so I didn't even bother. I think I'll go buy it.
@Jimmy WOW. 20 holds?! Go Rainbow Rowell! :D
It is soooooo worth owning. Let me know how you like it! :D
Ha! Look at my comment. I caved.
