Cover of THE PROBABILITY OF EVERYTHING by Sarah Everett
Never mind, we finally figured it out. It's THE PROBABILITY OF EVERYTHING by Sarah Everett π€¦
ok #library peeps help! We can't remember the title of a children's book published +/- the last five years. There's some sort of asteroid headed to earth (or similar situation) and the girl's family has all come to her house. There is a twist ending where she ends up going to court to testify.
I was looking at this earlier in the week and thought it sounded great #ewgc

MAKE ME BETTER by Sarah Gailey has some elements in common with Nine Perfect Strangers, which has me locked in. #ewgc

Time Travel Trad Wives sounds like a really great Bravo show. Would watch π― #ewgc
Super hyped for Temi Oh's NOT WITH A BANG. It's the end of the world - maybe a bit on the nose for our times, but then again maybe not #ewgc

Esta la semana de Benito and I think thatβs beautiful π π΅π·

Today is stressful: Internet is down at work, I seem to have lost my Spanish computer vocabulary, & itβs so hot in here my eyelids are sweating. Send adorable pet pics pls
