This book had a lot of animals in it. It was very creative. My favorite part was when they slid on the ice like a polar Bears. I also liked that it had facts on the back about polar bears.

The story kept me engaged and kept me guessing. I’d recommend this book for someone who enjoys psychological thrillers.

I read this all by myself

This book had me in tears by the end of it. It was almost like I could feel the pain of the characters seeping through the pages. By far one of the best books I have ever read.

My first feminist theory book. Really interesting! Great insight mixed with humor. Never got bored. Will be reading her other books. Recommend totally.

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.

I wouldn’t recommend reading this one. I only liked the detectives character in this but I didn’t enjoy reading from all the different points of view.

I read this as part of an all school summer read. The two author voices create an authentic experience providing two perspectives. I appreciated the back and forth of two young people sharing vulnerabilities coming from different backgrounds, using a forgotten medium that allows for a mindfulness that I think young people could benefit from. I did think the novel attempted a lot with all the issues it covered.

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.

It’s taking me a long time because I’m learning to read it by myself!
