Into The Water by Paula Hawkins
I was going to do my fiction post on The Girl Before by J.P. Delaney since that one has been extremely popular at the library, but I got halfway through it and had to skim the rest.

6 Things that Made Me Happy this Week (#ThankfulThursday)
On Father’s Day I thought I’d give my dad a gift he’d actually appreciate (and I had no money or idea what to get him and I even forgot to buy a card) and I started cleaning all of my crap out of my parents’ attic. Now, you can maybe only appreciate the true significance…

Reader’s Advisory: The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck
Yes, we Millenials suck sometimes. But you know what we are good at? Not giving a shit about things that don’t actually matter. Especially things that don’t actually matter in our own specific lives (I’m looking at you AP Calculus. And you, insert basically any celebrity name here who is famous for nothing). Elderly people…
