"I'm just like, oh my god, time and place"
Hahahaha, indeed. My favourite is how I don't know this meme from the source, but rather because a YouTuber I follow is obsessed with it and uses it as often as is practical.
Iāve watched so many commentaries about the drama but I was not at all aware of it when it was happening in real time š itās become a ācomfort topicā and Iāll watch almost anyoneās video if theyāre talking about it š
Oh that is wonderful
Oh this is hilarious. š If you are looking for recommendations New Moon by Stephanie Meyer would be a good fit for this.
I just looked up the synopsis and you are correct!
Hahaha love the name so much!
Me, toooooo. Silly sentence plays on a loop in my head sometimes.
I had no idea there were this many books with that premise
I am sure there are more, so if anyone has to add, let me know!
All of my daughterās birthday parties when she was little. Always one child who blew a hole in the party and made my daughter cry. Of course, her high expectations made things worse. She always wanted the party to be absolutely perfect. š š¢
A nice little list.
Oh nooooo, sorry to hear she had a bad string of them.
I love that New Moon is on hereš¤£š¤£
Credit for that goes to masen!
This list is so cool!! Bookmarked immediately. Where did you get the idea? I'd recommend adding 16 Forever to the list. It's about a boy who can't age past 16 and every time it's supposed to be his 17th birthday, he goes back a year and turns 16 again.
I was watching a fellow BookTuber who is obsessed with the meme of the first name and eventually my brain was like "we could probably make a book list out of this!"
I added 16 Forever - definitely fits this chaos.
Ooo another good book to add would be remember me by Christopher Pike it is amazing!
I definitely forgot that one was at a birthday dinner! Thank you!!!!
I had to double check and Google to make sure for myself. But it was such a good series and that twist still got me
I mean, we just have to forget the third book happened lol
No seriously I couldn't get through the third book š
