The book weaves together the stories of multiple characters, confronting issues of race, gender, and class while ultimately focusing on the journey of self-discovery and the search for belonging. Sáenz's narrative incorporates elements of Mexican Catholic and new age spiritual imagery, creating a unique and immersive reading experience that blends surrealism with profound emotional depth.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the first book in the series. The book is about a 11 year old boy named Harry Potter. He had gotten a letter from a place called Hogwarts. Hogwarts is a school for wizards. He and his friends have to save the Sorcerer’s Stone so that an evil wizard would not become undefeatable. I really enjoyed reading this book and rated it five stars.

Never Let Me Go
by Kazuo Ishiguro

book cover


4 stars My original rating was to be 3 or 3.5, but the third part of the book saved it for me. Our three main characters (Kathy, Ruth and Tommy) are Hailsham students;grew up there, moved to the cottages and out into the world as either carers or donors. There were certain science fiction elements I quite enjoyed (even though I can agree this is a Lit fic first, than a sci fic) it even reminded me of “The Giver” by Lois Lowry and “The Promised Neverland” by Kaiu Shirai, which made me enjoy this a lot. I will say Ruth pissed me off and I’m glad we stopped hearing much about her towards the end. Kathy was a 70/30 love-hate relationship, and Tommy was so sweet I love him so much. There were confusing parts, part that could’ve been skipped or lightly glossed over. Parts that felt glossed over that should’ve been delved into further, but all and all it was a great book and I will continue to read more of Kazuo Ishiguro’s books.

The Cider House Rules

One of the best books I've ever read. Although if was over 20 hours of listening, I didn't want this book to ever end. It takes you through the life of an orphan, Homer Wells and his mentor/wanna be father Dr Larch. This book is filled with so many taboo subjects with graphic content that one might shy away from reading it, but didn't. It's a fantastic start
