came to hunt for this comment! Not even a GenXer but I was like Molly Ringwald... the 80s icon of Sixteen Candles and Breakfast Club fame!!! And then she said Secret Life and I cracked up.

Would you consider doing a tour of your bookshelf? I always love peeking at the spines behind you and would love to see your full collection

I hope you enjoy them! If you are looking for something like Normal People I recommend Talking At Night by Claire Daverley

This was a great video! I would love to see recs specifically for fantasy, romance, and thriller readers wanting to try out some literary fiction!

normal people is the absolute best recommendation!! one of my favorites. definitely adding these to my TBR, great list!

Thank you! I hope you find some recs that you enjoy!

Mary Jane was *so* good! I loved the audiobook, you actually get to listen at the end to the song they wrote for Mary Jane, it was so precious and unique!!

Ahh thank you! Whenever I go a little overboard with the book shopping i start looking in my public library to find the balance 😅

I realized I’m old when the first connection to Molly Ringwald was The Secret Life and not Breakfast Club…16 Candles etc 🥲
