"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.

1

I’ve watched so many commentaries about the drama but I was not at all aware of it when it was happening in real time 😂 it’s become a “comfort topic” and I’ll watch almost anyone’s video if they’re talking about it 😂

2

Oh that is wonderful

1

Oh I LOVE the name of this list

3

I can't get that meme out of my head

2

Oh this is hilarious. 😂 If you are looking for recommendations New Moon by Stephanie Meyer would be a good fit for this.

2

I just looked up the synopsis and you are correct!

2

Hahaha love the name so much!

2

Me, toooooo. Silly sentence plays on a loop in my head sometimes.

2

This is INCREDIBLE🙂‍↕️

thank you, thank you

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 daughter’s 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. 💔 😢

A nice little list.

1

Oh nooooo, sorry to hear she had a bad string of them.

2

I love that New Moon is on here🤣🤣

1

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.

1

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.

2

oh obsessed with the title of this list

1

Why thank you

2

Ooo another good book to add would be remember me by Christopher Pike it is amazing!

1

I definitely forgot that one was at a birthday dinner! Thank you!!!!

1

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

1

I mean, we just have to forget the third book happened lol

2

No seriously I couldn't get through the third book 😂
