First loves, first songs, and the drugs and reckless high school exploits that fueled them—meet music icons Tegan and Sara as you’ve never known them before in this intimate and raw account of their formative years.
High School is the revelatory and unique coming-of-age story of Sara and Tegan Quin, identical twins from Calgary, Alberta, growing up in the height of grunge and rave culture in the 90s, well before they became the celebrated musicians and global LGBTQ icons we know today. While grappling with their identity and sexuality, often alone, they also faced academic meltdown, their parents’ divorce, and the looming pressure of what might come after high school. Written in alternating chapters from both Tegan’s point of view and Sara’s, the book is a raw account of the drugs, alcohol, love, music, and friendships they explored in their formative years. A transcendent story of first loves and first songs, it captures the tangle of discordant and parallel memories of two sisters who grew up in distinct ways even as they lived just down the hall from one another. This is the origin story of Tegan and Sara.
They’re from Calgary, Alberta, where I currently live, so I got interested to learn more about them.
The Quotes
“I had never considered what it would be like to be in love until I was in it.”
“I could think of nothing but her. I half listened in school, half studied for my tests, half completed my assignments, half lived when I wasn’t next to her.”
“I wasn’t a quitter, I just finally knew who I wanted to be.”
The Narrator(s)
The authors, Tegan Quin and Sara Quin. I did find it hard to tell their voices apart and often didn’t know whose chapter I was in without double checking, but I enjoyed their narration in general.
My Thoughts
I had never heard of Tegan and Sara until we moved to Calgary and while I’m still not very familiar with their music, I do enjoy a couple of their songs like Closer and Everything is Awesome. My curiosity stems mostly from the fact that they are from Calgary, and I loved that I recognized some of the places they talk about in this book.
Through my own fault, I was unprepared for all the high school drama contained within this book entitled High School. To be fair, there isn’t any more drama than what a normal high school teenager would’ve been going through, but perhaps I was more so unprepared for the stark honesty and raw emotions Tegan and Sara share in the book. I’m not sure that I would’ve been able to do the same talking about my own high school experience.
The thing that struck me most was how much it seemed that they didn’t get along at all as twin siblings, and yet were so on the same page when it came to making music together. I’m sure we don’t know the full story of their sibling experience and this book only shows us part of it, but it was quite interesting to see! Overall, I love their dedication to being open and honest about their high school experience and how they navigated being LGBTQ in a time when it wasn’t necessarily safe to be so. Some of those scenes made me well up from how emotional they were. I think this could be a great book for any teenager in high school.

Castle Rock is a small town, where word gets around quickly. That’s why Scott Carey wants to confide only in his friend Doctor Bob Ellis about his strange condition: he’s losing weight, without getting thinner, and the scales register the same when he is in his clothes or out of them, however heavy they are.
Scott also has new neighbours, who have opened a ‘fine dining experience’ in town, although it’s an experience being shunned by the locals; Deirdre McComb and her wife Missy Donaldson don’t exactly fit in with the community’s expectations. And now Scott seems trapped in a feud with the couple over their dogs dropping their business on his lawn. Missy may be friendly, but Deirdre is cold as ice.
As the town prepares for its annual Thanksgiving 12k run, Scott starts to understand the prejudices his neighbours face and he tries to help. Unlikely alliances form and the mystery of Scott’s affliction brings out the best in people who have indulged the worst in themselves and others.
From master storyteller Stephen King, our ‘most precious renewable resource, like Shakespeare in the malleability of his work’ (Guardian), comes this compelling tale about finding common ground despite differences, a story with deep resonance for our time.
For my Stephen King challenge, plus it was available immediately on Libby when I was looking for a quick read.
The Quotes
“He thought he had discovered one of life’s great truths (and one he could have done without): the only thing harder than saying goodbye to yourself, a pound at a time, was saying goodbye to your friends.”
“Why feel bad about what you couldn’t change? Why not embrace it?”
“Gravity is the anchor that pulls us down into our graves. There would be no grave for this man, and no more gravity, either. He had been given a special dispensation.”
“Sometimes he thought of a saying Nora had brought home from her AA meetings: the past is history, the future’s a mystery.”
The Narrator(s)
The author himself. Stephen King!
My Thoughts
I remember reading this one some years ago, but not paying much attention to it and not remembering much about it after. I enjoy it a lot more this time around. It’s light and whimsical, which is an interesting thing to say about a Stephen King story, but that’s what I love about King; you never know what you’re going to get but you are always going to be in for a great journey. I say journey, because honestly the story is a bit of a nothing-burger, nothing of substance really happens and it feels more like a fairytale than a serious story, but I always enjoy King’s storytelling. His easy way with words, even when you’re reading his scariest book, just keeps me going back to his books over and over again.
This book is a novella at only 146 pages; the characters are interesting but conflicts get resolved quickly and easily, and it’s more of a feel-good story which I’m perfectly happy with sometimes. I also like that there’s a race scene because I’ve been getting into running and reading a few running books recently. It was a really nice, fun read.

Peter Sagal, the host of NPR’s Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! and a popular columnist for Runner’s World , shares “commentary and reflection about running with a deeply felt personal story, this book is winning, smart, honest, and affecting. Whether you are a runner or not, it will move you” (Susan Orlean).
On the verge of turning forty, Peter Sagal—brainiac Harvard grad, short bald Jew with a disposition towards heft, and a sedentary star of public radio—started running seriously. And much to his own surprise, he kept going, faster and further, running fourteen marathons and logging tens of thousands of miles on roads, sidewalks, paths, and trails all over the United States and the world, including the 2013 Boston Marathon, where he crossed the finish line moments before the bombings.
In The Incomplete Book of Running , Sagal reflects on the trails, tracks, and routes he’s traveled, from the humorous absurdity of running charity races in his underwear—in St. Louis, in February—or attempting to “quiet his colon” on runs around his neighborhood—to the experience of running as a guide to visually impaired runners, and the triumphant post-bombing running of the Boston Marathon in 2014. With humor and humanity, Sagal also writes about the emotional experience of running, body image, the similarities between endurance sports and sadomasochism, the legacy of running as passed down from parent to child, and the odd but extraordinary bonds created between strangers and friends. The result is “a brilliant book about running…What Peter runs toward is strength, understanding, endurance, acceptance, faith, hope, and charity” (P.J. O’Rourke).
I’m a beginner runner and trying to get myself motivated by reading memoirs about running. I loved Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running and I went looking for more.
The Quotes
“Perhaps you would like to start running. You never have tried before, or you did and you hated it, and now you wonder how to begin moving in a way that will keep you going. Get up. Start. Go. Move. Take a rusty first step, like the Tin Man. You will squeak. Go.”
“We simply accept each other as we are, for in any other direction lies madness.”
“You step outside, because real running is done outside, dammit, in the open air, where the endorphins hide.”
“I had always believed that suffering was a requirement for anything worthwhile: art, educational success, professional achievement, marriage, parenthood. On this day, I had found another way, though it had taken thousands of miles to get here.”
The Narrator(s)
The author himself, Peter Sagal.
My Thoughts
I really enjoyed this book! I love the author’s humor, and the reference of this book’s title and cover to The Complete Book of Running by James Fixx. It was interesting reading about the author’s experience running at the Boston Marathon Bombing event, and I loved learning more about being a guide for blind runners. Not that I would qualify at the current level I’m at, but maybe someday.
There were parts of the book I didn’t like and couldn’t relate to. He talks about his divorce in a way that makes me feel that maybe he was the problem, which to be fair, we’re all allowed to make mistakes and grow from them, but there didn’t seem to be any self-reflection about it. However, I came for the running parts, and I enjoyed reading about the running parts. I wish there were more running parts!

“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”
It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.
Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.
His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.
But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.
For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.
For the Reading Challenge(s): N/A
The Reason
This series has been on my TBR ever since it came out years ago but I hadn’t managed to get my hands on the books until they went on sale on Audible recently.
The Quotes
“She wasn’t interested in telling other people’s futures. She was interested in going out and finding her own.”
“She recognized the strange happiness that came from loving something without knowing why you did, that strange happiness that was sometimes so big that it felt like sadness.”
“Watch for the devil. When there’s a god, there’s always a legion of devils.”
“People shout when they don’t have the vocabulary to whisper.”
The Narrator(s)
Will Patton. I love him as a narrator for Stephen King books and having him narrate this book gives it some Stephen King vibes for me.
My Thoughts
I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while because I love ravens and there’s a tarot deck based on the books, but I don’t actually know what the book is about so I went in blind. The story is a little messy and I’m struggling to follow the characters because there are so many of them and I get them mixed up sometimes. I bought the books on audio and I feel like I need to reread on print before I continue with the next books in the series.
In general, I love the vibes, maybe because of all the magic and prophecy, and also Will Patton’s narration, but I feel like I missed certain key details and I don’t know what is actually going on with the characters, and I don’t know who to root for. I haven’t connected with any of the characters either. I want to like the book and give it the benefit of the doubt, I don’t want to blame the book if my confusion is due to my poor listening skills, so I do want to try reading this book again before continuing with the next books.

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.
Today’s topic is Books with Handwriting on the Cover
This topic was harder than I expected to curate because some of these “handwriting” fonts look so neat, but then I remember that there are people in real life who have handwriting that look neater than actual typed fonts. I frequently watch art journaling videos and despair of ever getting my journal to look as good as the ones I see! I did manage to find ten books to fit the topic though, and I’ve read all but one of them. Have you read any of these?
Top Ten Books with Handwriting on the Cover
Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris – A book I really enjoyed, more than I thought I would. I’d love to read more by the author.
Falling into Place by Amy Zhang – I’ve read this book a couple of times and loved it. The language is so lyrical and it was just beautiful to read.
Room by Emma Donoghue – This was a bookclub book from a long time ago and I remember getting a lot of solid discussion out of it. It still lives rent free in my head.
She’s Come Undone by Wally Lamb – Another book that haunts me. I read this so many years ago and completely forgot all the details, but I remember that it destroyed me and that’s why I’m hesitant to reread it but I kinda still want to!
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes – Yet another haunting, heartbreaking book. So well-written though! It’s so fascinating to see Charlie’s evolution and deevolution on paper.
Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan – I love bookish books and this one was so fun to read. I can never resist titles that feature books and bookshops.
To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han – This was such a sweet love story. I love the sequels as well, and the film adaptation, although I don’t remember if I’ve watched them all.
The Girls I’ve Been by Tess Sharpe – I will always recommend this book and this author! Her books have such great female YA protagonists, and the stories are so well-written.
We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver – The only book on this list I haven’t read. I want to, but I know it’s going to be a difficult read and I haven’t been in the right headspace for that.
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.
Today’s topic is Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read
Some of these books have been on my TBR forever. Some of them are recognizable classics or pop culture books that people talk about all the time and I feel like I should read to understand. All of these are books that I can’t believe I’ve never read, but I do intend to read them eventually!
Top Ten Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read
Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison – I got it mixed up with The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells, which I read when I was a lot younger, and was very confused when people talked about it and I was like…”wait, what? When did that happen in the book?”
Watership Down by Richard Adams – There is so much praise for this book and I keep meaning to read it but I haven’t yet.
The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan – I’ve tried reading it many times but haven’t been able to get through it because it hits so close to home. I’m not sure if I should let it go or push through.
The Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R Tolkien – I actually did try listening to this on audiobook, narrated by Andy Serkis. I loved what I heard thus far, but I couldn’t finish it at the time because I listened to it to sleep and Serkis’ Gollum voice scared me awake! I intend to try it again soon!
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk – Any book by Palahniuk, to be honest. I don’t know why I haven’t read any.
The Dark Tower series by Stephen King – As a self-proclaimed King fan, I am ashamed that I haven’t read this series. In fact, there are still a whole bunch of King books I have never read! The shame!
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller – I have used the “catch-22” reference a few times in my life but I have never read the book.
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens – I know the basic story and I already love the vibes, but I’ve just never read the book. I think I might have read an abridged children’s version once though.
Beloved by Toni Morrison – One I really want to read but I read some reviews saying it was bleak and a difficult read so I’m a little hesistant.
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson – This is another story that’s been told and adapted so many times in pop culture but I’ve never read the original.

Welcome to the Monthly Wrap Up hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts At Midnight to share our monthly wrap-up posts that summarizes our month in books, our favorite books of the month, what we did on our blogs, and anything noteworthy we want to share.
May 2026 Wrap Up
I spent most of May trying my best to get ahead of deadlines so that I can get back to being more present on the blog. It feels like a constant struggle but I’m getting closer to my goals. I’m also trying to read more books on print than on audio, but it’s just easier to read more books on audio when there are chores (and other audiobook compatible activities) to do!
My May 2026 TBR Intentions
I mentioned how excited I was about Book 8 of the Dungeon Crawler Carl coming out in May and that I wanted to reread Books 1 through 7 before diving into it. Well, I couldn’t wait and dove right in the day it released without rereading the other books! I’ll probably reread the whole series again at some point because there were a lot of details I forgot while reading Book 8, but it was totally worth it!
Yesteryear was a big standout, not necessarily because I loved it but rather because it’s still sticking with me. It says a lot about our current social media culture and influencer’s public persona. The story and characters are fictional but I know there are real people like Natalie and her husband out there and that scares me deeply.
The other standout is of course, Book 8 of Dungeon Crawler Carl, A Parade of Horribles, because I loved it! I love listening to it on audio. I miss the characters, Jeff Hay’s protrayal of all of them, and it still makes me laugh and cry at all the right places. Definitely planning a reread once I have my other reading challenges squared off.
I also read a couple of nonfiction books about running; one is a guide/how-to, Start Where You Are by Sabrina Pace-Humphreys, which was actually quite informative and helpful, specially targeted to women runners, and the other is a memoir, The Incomplete Book of Running by Peter Sagal, which was really interesting because he talks about being a guide for blind runners, plus he was present at the Boston Marathon bombing.
Stephen King’s most gripping and unforgettable novel, Bag of Bones, is a story of grief and a lost love’s enduring bonds, of a new love haunted by the secrets of the past, of an innocent child caught in a terrible crossfire.
Set in the Maine territory King has made mythic, Bag of Bones recounts the plight of 40-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan, who is unable to stop grieving even four years after the sudden death of his wife, Jo, and who can no longer bear to face the blank screen of his word processor.
Now his nights are plagued by vivid nightmares of the house by the lake. Despite these dreams, or perhaps because of them, Mike finally returns to Sara Laughs, the Noonans’ isolated summer home.
He finds his beloved Yankee town familiar on its surface, but much changed underneath — held in the grip of a powerful millionaire, Max Devore, who twists the very fabric of the community to his purpose: to take his three-year-old granddaughter away from her widowed young mother. As Mike is drawn into their struggle, as he falls in love with both of them, he is also drawn into the mystery of Sara Laughs, now the site of ghostly visitations, ever-escalating nightmares, and the sudden recovery of his writing ability. What are the forces that have been unleashed here — and what do they want of Mike Noonan?
As vivid and enthralling as King’s most enduring works, Bag of Bones resonates with what Amy Tan calls ‘the witty and obsessive voice of King’s powerful imagination.’ It’s no secret that King is our most mesmerizing storyteller. In Bag of Bones — described by Gloria Naylor as ‘a love story about the dark places within us all’ — he proves to be one of our most moving.
For my Stephen King challenge. This one is a reread.
The Quotes
“I felt lonely and content at the same time. I believe that is a rare kind of happiness.”
“I see things, that’s all. Write enough stories and every shadow on the floor looks like a footprint; every line in the dirt like a secret message.”
“Grief is like a drunken house guest, always coming back for one more goodbye hug.”
“Readers have a loyalty that cannot be matched anywhere else in the creative arts, which explains why so many writers who have run out of gas can keep coasting anyway, propelled on to the bestseller lists by the magic words AUTHOR OF on the covers of their books.”
The Narrator(s)
Stephen King, the author himself. What a treat!
My Thoughts
I read this book a while ago and rated it four stars but it didn’t stand out to me at the time. As I was rereading it, I remember parts of it and why I enjoyed it the first time. My favorite part about Stephen King’s books is the way he approaches the supernatural and talks about it like it’s not something fictional or unbelievable, but just a part of the many mysteries of our world.
One of my favorite characters that we never even really meet is Jo, the MC’s late wife. She dies in the beginning of the book and we only get to know her through Mike Noonan’s memories and ghostly encounters, but she comes across so strong and passionate. I also really like Kyra. The almost-romance in the story is a bit of a turn-off for me but I understand this was written a while ago (still!).
It’s kind of why I included the quote, “Readers have a loyalty that cannot be matched anywhere else in the creative arts, which explains why so many writers who have run out of gas can keep coasting anyway, propelled on to the bestseller lists by the magic words AUTHOR OF on the covers of their books.”
I actually became a fan of the author through his more recent books (so it’s the inverse of the above quote but the sentiment applies) and am now reading his backlist for the sake of The Stephen King Constant Reader Challenge. His older books are still good but there are definitely questionable themes in them. I like that he’s self aware enough to call himself out on some of those things now that he’s older though!

Start Where You Are: The Beginner’s 5K Running Guide for Women by Sabrina Pace-Humphreys
A beginner’s guide to running for women. It challenges misconceptions and offers a positive and motivating guide to get you started.
Start Where You Are is a guide for women who are looking to run up to 5k distance. Whether you are at the start of your running journey, or resuming running after a break, Sabrina Pace-Humphreys has all the advice you need to get going.
In 2009 a GP recommended Sabrina try running to manage her post-natal depression. It transformed her life and she hasn’t stopped since. She is now a UK Athletics qualified Leader in Running Fitness, a Coach in Running Fitness and a qualified personal trainer with a passion for helping other women, wherever they are in their running journeys.
Sabrina offers motivational support, technique guidance, practical advice and strength and conditioning exercises to help complement your training. You can also find real-life runner testimonies and valuable tips about how to run during menopause, fueling and hydration, menstrual cycles, common injuries, how to run safely at night, finding the running community for you – and so much more.
Above all, this audiobook strips back the experience to the fundamentals – instilling freedom and finding joy in movement – making it the perfect starting point for all women, irrespective of age or running experience.
I came across this book while browsing in my local library and since I’ve started running, I thought I could learn something.
My Thoughts
As an ignorant beginner runner, there were a lot of things I got out of this book. I won’t be following along with the program laid out in the book because I’ve already been running for a while, but a lot of the advice in the book was still very helpful to me and in fact, I feel like I wouldn’t have understood some of the things the author shared if I hadn’t already been running and had come across some of those issues.
In my case, the advice about running techniques, cadence, gait, and nutrition were particularly helpful. I’ve switched up my posture and arm movements in my recent runs, and I’ve also been focusing more on how my body feels rather than what my smartwatch logs. Some of the warm-up exercises in the book has also been added to my previously sparser warm-up routine.
It’s notable that this book is aimed towards an audience of women runners; there are chapters that talk about running on periods, menopause, and how to keep yourself safe as a woman running on your own. All things that women need to take into account as compared to male runners. As the book states; women are not small men, and so many sporty advice and information have been based upon male bodies, capabilities, and needs, and aren’t necessarily applicable towards female bodies. We have a long way to go but I’m glad this book is available for women runners.

Would you defend your husband if he was accused of killing his mistress?
Sarah Morgan is a successful and powerful defense attorney in Washington D.C. At 33 years old, she is a named partner at her firm and life is going exactly how she planned.
The same cannot be said for her husband, Adam. He is a struggling writer who has had little success in his career. He begins to tire of his and Sarah’s relationship as she is constantly working.
Out in the secluded woods, at Adam and Sarah’s second home, Adam engages in a passionate affair with Kelly Summers.
Then, one morning everything changes. Adam is arrested for Kelly’s murder. She had been found stabbed to death in Adam and Sarah’s second home.
Sarah soon finds herself playing the defender for her own husband, a man accused of murdering his mistress.
I was looking for books starting with the letter “P” for the prompt above and had been curious about Jeneva Rose for a while. This one was immediately available on Libby so I decided to try it.
The Quotes
“Even when you have nothing left in your life, hope is the one thing that can never be taken away.”
“That’s the thing about relationships, you never really know what’s going on in them, unless you’re a part of them.”
“Two women trying to make it in a man’s world. We work twice as hard as our male counterparts to make it just an inch ahead of them.”
“I’ve learned that everyone has skeletons in their closet and that the people who appear to be good are usually the worst of them all.”
The Narrator(s)
Andrew Eiden. Mozhan Navabi. Both the narrators were fine.
My Thoughts
The first thing I’d note is that this is not a legal thriller. I thought we’d see more courtroom scenes based on the book’s description but there’s almost none, which is fine. I hoped for a better story though, because from the beginning I felt like there was a big plot hole that wouldn’t fly in real life, but I let it go for the sake of suspension of belief. When it turned out to be the actual plot point of the story though… I don’t know, it felt almost comical.
Spoiler
The wife representing her husband in a murder case where his mistress is the victim; as they were investigating possibilities, it seemed obvious to me that the wife should be a suspect as well – it’s kind of a huge motive. Early on in the book, I felt like the murderer could easily be the wife and it would’ve been a huge conflict of interest for her to defend her husband, as she could’ve just let him take the fall for the murder. It was so ridiculously obvious that I was sure the story wouldn’t go that way, but it did!
I originally chose to suspend belief because if this happened in real life, there would be ethical issues with wife representing husband in the first place, and then if he lost, he could’ve appealed by stating bad representation because of the conflict of interest. It just never would’ve worked and I’m mad the author did this to her readers!
The characters were all so unlikeable too, I wanted to like Sarah but I didn’t connect to her at all. Her husband, Adam, was an idiot through and through. The writing itself wasn’t bad though and although I’m not happy with this book, I may consider giving the author’s books another chance some time down the road.
