These 9 stories made me feel all sorts of ways but mostly: happy. I loved getting to know these new characters and enjoyed learning about them as the stories progressed. Even though I knew these were love stories, I was always surprised when the characters kissed. My favorite of the stories was Winter Songs for Summer, where a downstairs neighbor gave customized CD's for the main character, who was going through a breakup. The last few stories were not exactly the type of books I usually read, but despite it being unusual, I enjoyed the characters even if it was only a little. Overall, Scattered Showers was a quick read as well as a book I could finish and think about for at least a few minutes.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third book in the series. In this book Harry Potter is going into his third year at Hogwarts. A man named Sirius Black who was an escaped prisoner from Azkaban. Sirius is believed to be one of Lord Voldemort's allies. This book was very entertaining and I definitely recommend this book and the whole series to read. I rate this book five stars.

In this book Karen had gotten some new roller skates. She was really excited to try some new tricks with her roller skates. While Karen was practicing one of her tricks she had fallen and broke her wrist. I really enjoyed reading this book and I rate it five stars.

This book was refreshing to read and explored the taboo subject of intimacy among teenagers in a way that was comfortable, relatable, and at the same time fun to read about.

This was pretty good, but not as great as Behind her eyes (by same author) which is one of my top faves.

3rd book in series. I like the first book a lot, strong characters, good world building. The third book has good comeback and redemption stories and the main characters fight less. But, it is dragging and can be shorter. I don’t know how this is a five part series.

Julia Phillips's Bear focuses on 2 sisters, Samantha and Elena. Both sisters are stuck in low wage, menial jobs while taking care of their very sick mother. They grow up on an isolated island of the coast of Washington. As adults that glorious Northwest paradise has since turned into a depressing, bleak existence. When suddenly, almost magically a large, wild bear walks onto their property and changes everything.

Chainsaw Man Volume 11 throws everything into overdrive with intense despair, hope, and a jaw dropping reveals. Denji confronts Makima, wrestles with power and purpose, and Pandemonium reigns. Ending with a brutal, emotional climax that reshapes everything.

I love this book and how the mood keeps on changing. I am sad the main character did not have a romantic time with Brandon. Mackenize is a backstabber by first being kind to her for saving her life and then she steals the dress which she did not fully pay for. Great book!

Hits you close to home with the story line.
