a book you've reread over 3 times
I'm not the kind of person to reread books since I have so many books on TBR pile, but whenever I'm bored I just read some of my old favourites.

kira-kira by cynthia kadohata
kira-kira (kee'ra kee'ra): glittering; shining
Glittering. That's how Katie Takeshita's big sister, Lynn, makes everything seem. The sky is kira-kira because its colour is deep but see-through at the same time. The sea is kira-kira for the same reason. And so are people's eyes.
Even when the family is forced to move from their Japanese community in Iowa to the less welcoming Deep South of Georgia, it is Lynn who still makes things glitter, even when people stop and stare at them. It's Lynn who, with her special way of seeing the world, teaches Katie to look beyond tomorrow.
But when Lynn becomes seriously ill and the whole family begins to fall apart, it's up to Katie to find a way to remind them all that there is always something glittering-kira-kira-in the future.
I really enjoyed this book when I read 3 years ago. Then I reread it again the following year and then it goes on in a cycle.
The ending is heartbreaking, I'm not going to spoil it, but this book is definitely cry worthy. I recommend this book to everyone-it's very sweet, and sad at the same time.
So that's it! I will continue with Day 3 tomorrow.
