This week's question is: What is your first book of the year?
Well, I've been doing a readalong of Anne of Green Gables on Twitter, but the first book I've finished is Mammoth by Jill Baguchinsky.
Mammoth by Jill Baguchinsky(Summary from goodreads): The summer before her junior year, paleontology geek Natalie Page lands a coveted internship at an Ice Age dig site near Austin. Natalie, who’s also a plus-size fashion blogger, depends on the retro style she developed to shield herself from her former bullies, but vintage dresses and perfect lipstick aren’t compatible with prospecting for fossils in the Texas heat. But nothing is going to dampen Natalie’s spirit — she’s exactly where she wants to be, and she gets to work with her hero, a rock-star paleontologist who hosts the most popular paleo podcast in the world. And then there’s Chase the intern, who’s seriously cute, and Cody, a local boy who’d be even cuter if he were less of a grouch.
It’s a summer that promises to be about more than just mammoths.
Until it isn’t.
When Natalie’s hero turns out to be anything but, and steals the credit for one of her accomplishments, Nat has to unearth the confidence she needs to stand out in a field dominated by dudes. To do this, she’ll have to let her true self shine, even if that means defying all the rules for the sake of a major discovery.
The part where I talk some more: I'm going to be reviewing this one pretty soon and I have a lot to say, so keep an eye out for that!
What's everybody else's? I'm super curious about this. Are any of you superstitious about the first book you read in a year?
Peace and cookies,
Laina
