Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth book in the series. In this book it is Harry Potter's fifth year at Hogwarts. Harry has to face many challenges in his fifth year. Lord Voldemort returns while the Ministry of Magic refuses to acknowledge that he has returned. This was a really good read and I rate it five stars.

I really enjoyedthis book1 It was an unusual story - very creative! I like to think that I can imagine the character's storyline continuing - Maybe there will be a part 2!

Interesting; extensive, but in the wrong ways. Mediocre recap of the roots of metal as a whole, entertaining recounting of the Norwegian black metal scene in its glory years, and a dawdling, trailing end that paid too much lip service to examining Varg Vikernes’ ideologies and right-wing ideals connected to the black metal scene as a whole (or not; there was an excessive amount of unrelated tangents).

Rules of Civility is a story about the lives of a few young people making their way through New York by varying means. One chooses to attach themselves to a person of means, one chooses to eschew the help from family back home, and one chooses to go where the wind takes them. I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed the book.

This murder mystery is about cheating boyfriend who winds up getting murdered. I hope it has a sequel.

Intense drama for a teen boy who is introvert. Kept me engaged and enthusiastic to keep reading and finding out what happens next. I can’t wait to see if I finish the saga.

I have just re read this book after about 20 years. Still in my top 5 favorite books and authors. Louise Erdrich is masterful at weaving together family histories and stories.

Edith Wharton's 1905 novel The House of Mirth is set in the Gilded Age. In this novel, Wharton portrays the ultimate tragic fate of her protagonist, Lily Bart, a young beautiful, inexperienced and proud woman who is beguiled by and, in the end, betrayed by the glittering materialistic society she lives in. The novel is suspenseful in that the reader wants to know what will happen to Lily, a conflicted character, who aspires to be part of this society that she is unable to conform to.

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.
