Jennifer Garner will be the first to admit that her children lead privileged lives because of their famous parents, but that still doesn’t negate the fact that they’re still children.

Marianne Faithfull was the coolest girl of the late-1960s. Then an arrest involving the Rolling Stones, some LSD, and a fur rug changed everything. And that doesn’t even include a very gross rumour involving a Mars bar. Kayleigh wrote about the scandal for her newsletter. - (Gossip Reading Club)
Shannon Chakraborty’s second Amina al-Sirafi installment, The Tapestry of Fate, was more stressful for beereadsbooks than the first; and that’s a good thing. “Whereas many of the problems in the first adventure seemed to fall squarely into Amina’s wheelhouse…this new adventure challenges Amina’s abilities with problems that cannot be easily stabbed into oblivion.” Which fictional character’s growth are you most excited to read?
