In the book Drama a girl named Callie is trying to figure out how to handle seventh grade. She deals with confusing crushes, middle school hardships, budding friendships, and tween hardships. The book explores different types of friendships, Callie's relationship with others around her, teamwork and much more. I really enjoyed reading this book and would give it five stars.

5 stars (if I could give it more, I would) This book truly helps me understand why people wish they could read a book for the the first time again. I read this back in 2021-ish and was moved by this story; and still am to this day. But in 2024 I feel like I really dissect this book. The sweet writing of Madeline Miller, every word not wasted and every line like honey. This book is a perfect summer read as well for it’s beautiful scene descriptions: both in safety and peril. The way this book tugs at your heart; the love between Patroclus and Achilles is such a beautiful story of love, friendship and oaths to those you stay loyal to.

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.

Loved this book! In depth characters, cute story, fast read, entertaining! I'll look for anything else she has written!

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!

This book was definitely an interesting read. I picked this up after watching Spaceman (2024) with Adam Sandler, which was based on this book. Do not let the fact Adam Sandler is in it deceive you, this story is not all, if any, laughs. The story is a deep dive into a solo astronaut on an 8 month mission away from home, and how those decisions effect him and the people he loves. Also, there is a giant alien spider. I enjoyed the first half of the book a lot more than I enjoyed the second, and if I ever re-read it I think I would just read till that point. I don'r regret having finished it though.

This novel blends horror and family drama in a way that really pulled me in. It follows a young boy named Noah as he navigates the eerie and dysfunctional world created by his father's obsession with building a haunted house, all while dealing with the complexities of his family's relationships. The mix of supernatural elements and deep emotional exploration kept me engaged, making it a haunting yet heartfelt read that lingers long after the last page.

Total mind-bender that' had me hooked from page one. Angela R. Watts serves up a wild ride of epic battles and mind-blowing twists that'll leave you itching for more once you're done.

I greatly enjoyed this book. While I do not feel like it reached the highs of the previous Christie detective novels, I feel like it did not need to. This novel, though featuring Christie's most famous detective, is structured more like a spy novel, and various small, classically styled detective mysteries are sprinkled over the book to tie together the grand narrative.

A lighthearted, easy read about an Asian woman who tries to solve a mystery. She suspects everyone around her while also coming to love all these people. Cute and funny and a mystery too!
