Teach Me by Concinnityy_ One thing I will always love is the trope with the “mean” popular boy that falls in love with the shy unknown girl and then he becomes nicer and changes for the better. LIKE, I LOVE IT!! Damien is my #1 and while I was reading all of the comments hating him I knew he was doing it all for a reason. I love Carmen and Damien so much and hope to read about them in Maikel and Nila’s book.

Of course I love the Coraline movie, who doesn't? I wish I had read the book before watching the movie. The idea of this book is brilliant and was interesting, but since I already watched the film, I knew what was going to happen. His writing also threw me off a little bit. The book was also very fast-paced, faster than the movie felt. I love Coraline, and I did not like this book that much, so I would only recommend the book to someone who has not seen the movie yet.

I really liked it.

Another fantastic story by one of my favorite authors. T. Kinfisher creates such a fun world that you can get to be immersed in for 436 pages. A womderful combination of human wit and romance, this sotry keeps you on your toes the whole way.

The book Smile is a true story that happened to the author Raina Telgemeier. After a Girl Scouts meeting she falls and it causes a terrible accident. She had damaged her two front teeth. The book is all about her journey with having braces, surgery's, a retainer with fake teeth on it and much more. I enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.

Love this series so much; it always keeps me on my toes!! Can't wait for the next installment.

Workplace romance with all the heat and complications you want—Strictly Professional serves up chemistry that’s off the charts and challenges that keep you invested. It’s smart, spicy, and gives that slow-build satisfaction that stays with you long after the last track.

Sonnys Blues by James Baldwin is a powerful exploration of pain, family, and redemption. Through the lens of jazz and brotherhood, Baldwin captures the struggle of Black identity, emotional repression, and the healing power of understanding and expression.

Very quick read. Not a lot of action but I liked it. Two widows/neighbors who find friendship/romance at a later stage in life. I wasn't crazy about the lack of quotes for dialogue but just a minor complaint.

Percival Everett writes the story of an enslaved man as he faces one terrifying situation after another in pre-Civil War Missouri. Ever aware of his assigned place in society, he none-the-less taps into a seemingly endless supply of agency to first flee his current "mass," and finally return with a full sense of self. At his side throughout most of the story is Huck, of Huckleberry Finn fame. Their relationship, as the story slowly reveals, is held together by a shared hometown, common respect for one another, and a secret finally revealed when "Jim" is forced to make a terrible choice. Fast-paced, suspenseful, first-person narrative. Excellent!
