The Seven Year Slip By Ashley Poston
Closing the book on October…
We are fully into fall (and I love it so much!), and didn’t this book just feel perfect for October? It was such a warm love story full of magic and wonder, but also didn’t shy away from grief in its tender-hearted forms. I’m so excited to hear what you thought of The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston!

The Seven Year Slip was full of so many lovable quotes, here are a few we underlined…
“Nothing lasts forever. Not the good things, not the bad. So just find what makes you happy, and do it for as long as you can.”
“Love was an invitation into the wild unknown, one step at a time together.”
“Isn’t it strange how the world works sometimes? It’s never a matter of time, but a matter of timing.”
“There was something just so reassuring about books. They had beginnings and middles and ends, and if you didn’t like a part, you could skip to the next chapter. If someone died, you could stop on the last page before, and they’d live on forever. Happy endings were definite, evils defeated, and the good lasted forever.”

I marked several quotes in the book, but my favorite was…”I loved how a book, a story, a set of words in a sentence organized in the exact right order, made you miss places you’ve never visited, and people you’ve never met.”
1. I loved the magical element in this story! Especially between Clementine and Iwan. What did you think of the time travel mystery?
At the beginning, I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this element of the story, but I ended up liking it more than I assumed I would.
2. The apartment can only travel seven years into the future or past. Which direction would you travel… future or past?
Past- for just a few minutes here and there at some of my favorite memories.
3. If you had a plane ticket to anywhere in the world, where would you go? And where do you think Clementine went?
Paris!!! I feel like Clementine took the trip she and her aunt planned before she passed.
