I mean, when you said Kate died I was picturing a Before I Fall type situation but the fact it's an illnes makes it so much more interesting. <br /><br />And I've only just heard of Cold Day in The Sun but it's too pricey for me to buy right now but your review makes me so glad I have it on my radar. It just sounds exactly like the kind of book I'll enjoy. I'll just have to patiently wait for the price to drop.Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-56206484971895887122019-03-23T19:34:18.760-04:002019-03-23T19:34:18.760-04:00Omigosh yesssssssssssss, Sam, with your review of ...Omigosh yesssssssssssss, Sam, with your review of Opposite of Always.

I think he did a thing at Books of Wonder, but those events are always during the week, and I could never make them unless I didn't go to work. It's also far from Penn Station, which makes it unattractive to me. I hope you have a lot of fun at your book events!!! <br /><br />I almost did a list of Girls in Hockey movies, because there are quite a few great ones out there, and the Mighty Ducks would have definitely made my list.

(So is Mindy McGinnis and that has nothing to do with your post but I am such a die-hard fan and no author has EVER come here and I am dying because FOUR are gahhh!) <br /><br />The other one sounds good too. I am not really a hockey fan per se, but I DID love The Mighty Ducks movies, like a LOT. I am still waiting for the reboot tbh haha. Glad these were both so good for you!
