Recent Library Pickups #2

I've been browsing around my library somewhat recently and checked out some more books and movies. I've got most of them until the end of the month, so hopefully I can finish them all by then.

The stack from top to bottom is: In Conclusion, Don't Worry About It by Lauren Graham, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, Lost In My Own Backyard by Tim Cahill, We Are Okay by Nina LaCour, So Close to Being the Sh*t, Ya'll Don't Even Know by Retta, From Twinkle, with Love by Sandhya Menon, Alligator Candy by David Kushner, and Dangerous Ground: My Friendship with a Serial Killer by M. William Phelps. So far, I've finished Lauren Graham and Retta's books along with Lost In My Own Backyard. I'll have more of my thoughts on them in my upcoming what I read post at the end of the month. I wasn't blown away by any of them, though Retta's book was the funniest and probably my favorite of the three. The rest are some random YA novels, a memoir, and a true crime book. I don't know much about any of them which is kinda how I like to go into a book. Of Mice and Men is a classic that I've wanted to read for a while. I saw Dangerous Ground in the new release section of my library and was of course intrigued by the title. I'm thinking that's the one that I'll read next since I'm obsessed with true crime. 

Movie wise, my hold for Justice League finally came in, and I also saw they had Wonder available in the new movie section. I thoroughly enjoyed both movies. I know Justice League has gotten a lot of hate, but I don't get why. I thought it was fun overall. It was neat to see all the heroes working together. The Flash was my favorite character of the bunch. Wonder looked intriguing to me in the trailer, and I was just waiting for it to come out on DVD. It was a very heart-warming and cute movie. It was nice to see how the main character changed over the course of the movie. I loved the family's relationship and how the movie would focus on different characters points of view. I just read the book and liked it as well. I'd definitely recommend both! It'll be interesting to see which of my holds come in next, because I've got quite the variety of new books/movies that I'm waiting on. Thanks for looking!
