I gave this book 2 stars. The story was super predictable—I figured out the twist pretty early. But even though I knew what was coming, I still wanted to see how it all played out. The setting was creepy and the vibes were tense, which helped keep things interesting. It’s a quick read, and if you like thrillers with controlling-relationship drama, it might be your thing. For me, it just didn’t have anything new or surprising. I was hoping for more twists or deeper characters, but it was just okay. Not bad, but not great either.

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.

4.5 What a beautiful story. I really enjoyed this book and its surprises (I don’t like to give spoilers). The Community House is a surprising place and the librarian, as all librarians are, is magical. I can relate in some way to each story and each one touched my heart. Life’s simple things and what we can do if we think a little differently about our selves and situations. And try new things. And how we interpret stories differently. Libraries are always comforting to me. Sayuri Komachi is a wonderful librarian - she knows what people need. Open up and value ourselves a little more.

I think June B is the funniest group of books. She is hilarious.

This book is so helpful for any teen interested in growing their financial literacy and independence

A staff pick and a beautifully written short book by poet Aimee N. While not poems, the short stories written about flora and fauna are poetic in nature. The author picks specific subjects that have meaning in her life and intertwines scientific facts with stories about her family as well as about world issues. The stories about the Potoo and the Octopus were favorites.

Amazing book, filled with action and activity! Good book for people who love action packed books! So good!

I read this all by myself

I adore this series. Light fun and intriguing. Each book said with be characters and interest. The references to everyday tasks with a mystical element are delightful.

The Sour Grape was a book based on how you can be angry all the time or be thankful and considerate. It taught me that my actions effect other people and I should be kind. The Sour Grape is a very, very fun book to read and it has cool illustrations.
