This was a great manga. The main character, Yuta Okkotsu experiences a new school of sorcery and fights intense battles. The book is very well written and deserves more hype. The movie is great as well.

This book was very interesting. It held my interest the whole time. I’d rate it higher if it hadn’t been predictable. That said, I’d recommend this book. I learned a lot.

Awesome, amazing, intriguing, captivating.

These poems are the words I did not know I needed. “ Challenge your own guilt about things you do not control. Tell it to hush.” Page 33 from Challenge . Anderson’s poems inspire peace and reassurance that it is okay to just be and you are a part of nature . His poems depict his own struggles with anxiety and depression, inspiring a connection that you are not alone in your struggles.

Had to read the book. The movie is so cute and one of my favorites

A Sherlock Holmes-ish mystery set in the 1920s, as a good cop teams up with a “graphologist” in a dangerous bid to expose corruption within the London police department.

I don’t usually like many books that are based off of movies but I had to give this one a try because it was based off of one of my all time favorite 80s movies The Breakfast Club and it lived up to the hype. It kept me reading for hours with all of the plot twists and diverse characters. All of the characters are written in depth and it leaves you wanting to know more. I will definitely be checking out the next book in the series!

I was eager to read this book, as the author is a former colleague of mine. I greatly enjoyed reading her memoir. By moments I felt very moved, and by moments I laughed out loud, two responses I greatly appreciate a book evoking. I also deeply appreciated Felicia's celebration of cultural and linguistic diversity. Last but not least, I found the parallels between her work with Deaf and hard of hearing students, and hearing students learning English as a second language, fascinating, and would love to delve further into this topic!

This story is a sweet love story where the conflict is internal and the character needs to overcome herself. Very cute. Loved it!

Was my summer reading book and I had low expectations going in but I actually enjoyed it! It’s a very dramatic play about the Salem witch trials so it’s fun to see references to actual historical things. It’s also very strong and thematic. The author intended it to compare to the red scare going on at the time of the book, but I think it can be related to really any point in time. Some parts are iffy, but honestly I got hooked by the end!
