by Mary Higgins Clark

book cover


This is the story of twin young men accused of killing their parents. Without enough evidence to convict or prove innocent the story shows how it affects their lives and relationships. Ten years later the family, with the help of a tv show, set out to find new evidence to solve the case. There are several twists and turns in the story to keep you guessing until the end. This book was quick and easy read.

Wonder was uplifting and gave me a new perspective on the world. I loved how it gave multiple perspectives of the characters throughout the book rather then one narrator that would just infer what other characters are thinking.

I loved how relatable the story was. And the story was really interesting. From the growth of Anna throughout the story to the recovery of her mentally ill mother. And the slight romance between Anna and Rory was so good. I related to a lot of the story, and in my opinion, that is what makes a good story. One that you can truly feel, understand, and love.

This wonderful book written by Jerry Spinelly, Love, Stargirl, tells us a story about a girl who moved to Pennsylvania leaving everything behind in Arizona: Mica High, enchanted desert places, and Leo(her boyfriend). Leo is who she can all think of, cries every night for him. She eventually gets over him through the longest letter on earth, this book. She gathers multiple friends of different ages and has so much fun. Overall I recommend this book for girls ages 11 and above.

Lady Smoke

This book was the definition of “dragging it”. With the ending of Ash princess, I thought the author could open up a lot of different potential plot points and storylines. But genuinely if I was stuck in a room and all I had was this book it still wouldve took me 2 months. I just couldnt get past not only the never ending dialogues of nothing, but also the weird portrayal of Sta’Crivero. I might be reaching but it felt very stereotypically in the way the people were described. I had a feeling it was supposed to be a representation of the Middle East??? She describes the land as super hot, no water, and pretty much old rich men that take multiple wives and treat them badly…it was weirdddd. Anyway I might be biased in that but overall this book is boring. The only thing good about this book was the ending. It was fairly interesting but also very annoying. The main character, Theodosia, specifically. I believe shes supposed to be like 16? but the way her maturity was written felt more childish. When faced with the option of killing Cress, right there and then, SHE HESITATES?? I understand they were friends, but even in the first book she describes the friendship more like an owner and their dog. I dont really understand it, but I might just be annoyed at the character. If she had just killed Cress, and had Soren become the Kaiser (although politically challenging it wouldve been possible), then he could take his people elsewhere. Idk this book left me bored and confused, but ready for the next ??

As a teen the saga is intense and intriguing. The concept of love interest is drawing and motivation to read and finding out what will happen next and so on.

The book Guts is a true story about the author Raina Telgemeier. The book is about anxiety and stomach issues. She had gotten the stomach bug and is scared to throw up. It shows the journey of the author's mental and physical health issues. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.

The gate of the feral Gods

This genre is not my favorite by far but the Cult of Carl just keeps trying to suck me in. There are moments where it is enjoyable and then the rest you kind of have to sludge through. In this installment, Carl figures out a way to "stick it to the man". It'll be interfering to see what the next book holds when I eventually get to it.

This book is bonkers. I'm not really into magical realism. I guess it's supposed to be a metaphor for nazi Germany. I was not into it.
