Has anyone ever burst into laughter while reading at a public place and just gets that awkward moment when everyone turns to stare!? I just had one!

Yes! Reading ACOTAR and ACOMAF in public was like trying to hide the book from wondering eyes. I did not want people to see some of those chapters! ?

When I was working 3rd shift I would listen to audiobooks as I worked and I’d often just start laughing and I’d get the weirdest looks eventually my coworkers figured out I wasn’t going crazy just listening to a book.

The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evonovich. I would read them waiting for my girls at the dance studio, laughed so hard that I ended up reading in my car.
