@minakimes TY for recommending The Candy House by @Egangoonsquad! I read it this spring (and was blown away); now I've finished Goon Squad this morning (and was blown away again). They'll be my first fiction hardcover purchases in years.
@minakimes Oh, that's so legit. In eighth grade, the bus ride was 90 minutes each morning since we were an early stop. I had a CD player and owned exactly one CD, so I listened to all of "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" twice through every day for the entire year.
