She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She's even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses.

It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's enough. Now everything's changed. Now Rachel has a chance to become a part of the lives she's only watched from afar. Now they'll see; she's much more than just the girl on the train... My Thoughts: I was not the biggest fan of this book.

I have made some goals that will hopefully make reading a bigger part of my life and help improve my blog! Here are my goals for 2018: Blogging I want to implement and keep a more consistent posting schedule.  To begin with, I think I will be posting each Tuesday at 12 pm. Tune in then to see what I'm up to!  Network more in the blogging community and make more bookish friends.  I made this blog so that I could make some friends that love to read as much as I do, so this year I want to make an effort to be more active in the blogging community and on Twitter to make some friends!  Manage my time better in school, so that I can make better content for my blog. Reading Read 25 books! I upped my Goodreads reading goal this year from 20 books (which I completed, yay!) to 25 books. I'm excited to challenge myself a little bit, and to up my
