How To Read Literature Like A Professor 3e
by Thomas C. Foster

book cover


Ok. I had to read this book for the AP literature summer assignment so I didn’t choose to read it although I saw it a few times and and thought it seemed interesting. This book bored me many times but I feel that is because I am not the targeted audience. Yes, it was assigned but I feel like this book would be better for a college student majoring in literature or something of that sort. I learned a lot of things from this book so I am happy I read it but I found it very long for the information I was given. Maybe I will read it again when I am in college.

there wasn't really a plot in this book-it just consisted of scenes-but I think it was okay since all the characters had different lives yet still had to take care of their hair. In my opinion, it wasn't really a impactful graphic novel since the hair part was really unessacery but it was ok.

The Orchard Keeper

Obvious debut; not a bad thing, but it does feel a bit less refined in its grit. Maybe my fault rather than the book’s as I read it sporadically over the course of a month. Will always love and appreciate his writing style above all else.

The Lightning Thief

Thrilling adventure that brings Greek mythology to life in modern-day America, following Percy Jackson as he discovers his demigod heritage and embarks on a quest to prevent a war among the gods. The plot was fast-paced and I enjoyed the witty humor, and relatable characters that combined fantasy and mythology.

“the” Book Of Guilt
by Catherine Chidgey

I received an ARC for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. The Book of Guilt by Catherine Chidgey is an absolutely heartbreaking story about a group of children raised on the outskirts of the English Countryside where they are raised by three women. One woman records their dreams and gives them medicine. One woman teaches them, and one woman keeps an eye on them as they sleep. All the women mark down the children's misdeeds in what is known as The Book of Guilt. The children are told that if they follow all the rules and listen, they'll be sent to an amazing place where all of their dreams will come true. All of this seems innocent enough, however, as the story continues, several red flags appear. The way the author brings out the characteristics and mannerisms of each child makes the revelations even more devastating. The manner in which these poor individuals were treated by the townspeople was outright disgusting, even after several years had gone by when the grave injustice was somewhat rectified. Sadly, I was able to envision everything that had happened because it was very close to other horrific events in history. Even now, some human beings are considered lesser due to their backgrounds; and while that isn't exactly the same as what happened here, it is still quite abominable to know that if this were happened today, there would be staunch supporters of it because they would view it as something necessary because they don't believe that everyone is equal. As heart-wrenching as the plot was, The Book of Guilt was well-written as well as enlightening about how certain things in history were able to occur without too much public knowledge. Thank you to Net Galley and the author for the ARC.

While in foster care the older sister murdered a boy from the neighborhood, and was arrested and has been locked away for many years. The youngest was adopted and was adopted and led a very professional life as a psychologist I could go on and on with this story and all the plots and twist . I recommend reading this book .
