Hey Christina,
Congratulations on passing the halfway mark of your goal this year. I hope you continue to read and enjoy what you're reading :)

If you enjoyed Clap When You Land, I recommend The Poet X.
I'm really excited to read Family Lore at some point too.

Anyways, have fun and happy reading!
