The Museum of Intangible Things - Wendy Wunder
I bought this copy!
Loyalty. Envy. Obligation. Dreams. Disappointment. Fear. Negligence. Coping. Elation. Lust. Nature. Freedom. Heartbreak. Insouciance. Audacity. Gluttony. Belief. God. Karma. Knowing what you want (there is probably a French word for it). Saying Yes. Destiny. Truth. Devotion. Forgiveness. Life. Happiness (ever after).
Hannah and Zoe haven’t had much in their lives, but they’ve always had each other. So when Zoe tells Hannah she needs to get out of their down-and-out New Jersey town, they pile into Hannah’s beat-up old Le Mans and head west, putting everything—their deadbeat parents, their disappointing love lives, their inevitable enrollment at community college—behind them.
As they chase storms and make new friends, Zoe tells Hannah she wants more for her. She wants her to live bigger, dream grander, aim higher. And so Zoe begins teaching Hannah all about life’s intangible things, concepts sadly missing from her existence—things like audacity,insouciance, karma, and even happiness.
An unforgettable read from the acclaimed author of The Probability of Miracles, The Museum of Intangible Things sparkles with the humor and heartbreak of true friendship and first love.
To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before (To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before #1) - Jenny Han
Also bought this copy!
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is the story of Lara Jean, who has never openly admitted her crushes, but instead wrote each boy a letter about how she felt, sealed it, and hid it in a box under her bed. But one day Lara Jean discovers that somehow her secret box of letters has been mailed, causing all her crushes from her past to confront her about the letters: her first kiss, the boy from summer camp, even her sister’s ex-boyfriend, Josh. As she learns to deal with her past loves face to face, Lara Jean discovers that something good may come out of these letters after all.
What do you think?
I want to read both of these! I really hope you enjoy it. I really love the premise of the Jenny Han book especially - sounds like something I’d do back in my teen years!
haha Me too!!! Jenny Han is a great writer as well, I have enjoyed her Burn for Burn series!

So many people have bought a copy of To All the Boys and are loving it, so I hope you do too. My friends just gotten back form Prague, so I hope Kristy has enjoyed herself!
Oh I love hearing that other people have enjoyed it! I can’t wait to get around to it. :D
She’s still there now, but from all accounts is having a wonderful trip! She’s off to London tomorrow!

I was gifted a copy of The Museum of Intangible Things this week as well - I really hope you enjoy it! The cover is putting me in the mood for the beach and spring :D

I’ve always been curious of what The Museum of Intangible Things is about. Titles that are complex like that one always intrigues me. I’m most likely going to buy it, too. To All the Boys sounds really interesting. I feel like the girl on the cover will plot like revenge on the guys that she previously liked (btw I didn’t read the summary yet).
Same here - it actually doesn’t tell you much about the story itself, it’s a bit of a mystery. The plot sounds great though - maybe a little sad.
haha Sounds like you’re on the money with To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before!

Ooh, can’t wait to see what you think of To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. Across a few blogs, there seems to be a bit of agro towards the MC and her sister’s ex boyfriend. It sounds like a super entertaining read though, might nab a copy myself. Enjoy your new reads and loves seeing Kristy’s Twitter pics while she’s away :)
Ooooooh I cannot wait!! I am hoping to start this really soon!!!
I know, she’s posted some absolutely stunning pics, I am so jealous of her, but it looks like she’s having a fantastic time!
