Instead of watching the Vice President Debates I finished up reading Permanent Record by Edward Snowden. Seemed a fitting time to wrap this one up. Very eye opening and extremely sad at the same time. #edwardsnowden #permanentrecord #book #read #reading #debate2020 #debates2020 #vicepresident https://www.instagram.com/p/CGEH2U5n4lD/?igshid=bhqw361vvgwe
A few days ago, I read Permenant Record by Mary H. K. Choi.
Quick Summary: Pablo Rind dropped out of NYU, swimming in credit card debt. Living in a makeshift bedroom in his friends’ apartment and working the graveyard shift at a bodega, Pablo struggles to see the path for success. One night at five in the morning, pop star/actress Leanna Smart walks into Pablo’s bodega. With Leanna, things start to make more sense...or do they?
Pablo was a great character to read. He was funny and sarcastic but still endearing. The way he spoke about the world made his story feel relatable to the audience. Moreover, the progression of his character over the story arc is well done.
Even though Pablo was the lead, the side characters are still well fleshed out. We see as much insight into their lives as Pablo would have, so there is no magic omniscient moments. Yet, the reader still has a good understanding on the characters’ personalities and what they value.
The plot was cute. It moves at a decent pace. The more Pablo values the events, the more they are shown. I think everyone at some point wonders what it would be like to date a celebrity, and Pablo’s story is one version of what if?
The ending was a toss up. It’s one of those endings that you know it can kind of go either way. I wasn’t surprised about what direction it went. If you do pick up the book, I would love to hear what you thought.

Seriously one of the most beautiful covers I have ever seen. I absolutely adored Emergency Contact by @choitotheworld and I cannot wait to dive into Permanent Record. Choi's writing is effortlessly beautiful and engaging. If you haven't read any of her books yet you need to do so now! You won't regret it. #permanentrecord #whatimreading #books #booklover #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #yabookstagram #youngadultbooks #youngadultfiction #reader #readersofinstagram #readersofig #readersofinsta https://www.instagram.com/p/B-aLZ2FA5L_/?igshid=1nu1u81wo6xcq
Donald in 2014 talking about if President Obama had been impeached:
“What a lot of crap! Because all what they’re doing, they’re actually talking the Republicans into not doing it. Do you think Obama — seriously — wants to be impeached and go through what Bill Clinton did? He would be a mess.
He would be thinking about nothing but — it would be a horror show for him. It would be an absolute embarrassment. It would go down on his record permanently. But they’re saying, ‘Oh, he’d love to be impeached, that would be so good!’ And the Republicans, they’re all saying, ‘Oh, we’d never impeach him, we’d never impeach him! Because he’d like that.’”
Donald, that description fits your tantrum filled rants about your impeachment to a T.

Today we kick off our book fair at school. I still get ridiculously excited about the book fair even though I have the ability to buy books that I want at any time I want. There’s just something magical about seeing the books set up on the shelves and tables, all laid out for people to look through. Even though I no longer work in a classroom, I know my library of children’s books is going to grow this week. • • I still need to read a Permanent Record by @choitotheworld. I think I’ll have to buy the d-book because the cover is so unique and I’m afraid I’ll mess it up if I read my hardcover copy. • • #booksbooksbooks #bookstagramming #booknanigans #readreadread #readersofinstagram #bookphoto #bookandhotdrink #cozyreadingcorner #permanentrecord #maryhkchoi #simonandschusterbooksforyoungreaders #ficwishes https://www.instagram.com/p/B3mVz7GATbF/?igshid=kfzkbmiwb1ax
Here’s my mini haul from the author event I went to a couple of weeks ago at @therippedbodice. I got my copies of Frankly In Love signed...and got an extra copy signed for my giveaway so make sure to enter! 🥳 It ends tonight. Giveaway post is a few posts back.⠀ .⠀ While I was at the bookstore, I also picked up Permanent Record by Mary HK Choi. I thought her first book was cute and I’ve heard great things about this one. I also got a tote bag from the bookstore. I love the illustrations. The Ripped Bodice is a independent romance bookstore in LA. It’s adorable and definitely a place to check out if you’re visiting LA. 💖⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #bookstagram #bookgram #bookish #franklyinlove #permanentrecord #davidyoon #maryhkchoi #yalit #yabooks #yacontemporary #therippedbodice #bookish #bookcommunity #ownvoices #diversebooks #romancebooks #amreading #yaromance #bookgiveaway #bookblogger #bookworm #booknerd #booklove #tbr #beautybookcorner https://www.instagram.com/p/B29_wopAdOP/?igshid=1xdj9m82qjrfp
