I feel like booktok has ruined the Goodreads awards. Since it's based on number of reads, not quality/reviews. I used to use the awards to add to my tbr, now they're just whatever went viral. There's gaining popularity from being a great book and gaining popularity as a trend and I think the distinction's important.

I don't know about other people, but I had to move schools twice just in high school because my living situation was changing so much. I went from a school district filled with people I knew since we were all 4-5, to moving to a town with people I knew nothing about and had never met anyone in, to moving AGAIN two years later. It was really rough on me as an outwardly queer and neurodivergent person, and while I never knew anyone personally who went through a similar thing as me, I know that it's pretty common for kids who came from a similar living situation.
