One such book is, To Night Owl From Dogfish by Holly Goldberg Sloan and Meg Wolitzer. She, of course, continues to out-read me but there are a few books she is so excited about that I make sure to finish as well. However, in my hunt for books with diverse characters and written by diverse authors, I am bound and determined to keep up with her as she burns through some of the most talked about books of 2019. I often try to keep pace with her only to be left in the dust as she finishes book after book. ![]()
