The Midnight Library by Matt Haig has 298 pages and is a book about a girl named Nora who has many regrets in life in all this time, being a bad cat owner to Volts, not going to Australia with her friend, Izzy, and divorcing with her husband, Dan. I chose this book because it looked interesting, and I think it might even be funny and it actually is. I wanted to try 3 new books that I never knew about before and I think all of them might be fun to read(except for Less[by Sean Greer])

One day, Nora thinks some dark thoughts and finally decides to commit suicide. Right before dying, she suddenly appears in the Midnight Library. The library has all the possibilities in life Nora could have had, and also, Mrs.Elm, her old school's library. Mrs. Elm said that there is a library in the middle of life and death. The time was exactly at midnight, and she could go hungry, thirsty or even tired. But she knew she would get bored, so Mrs.Elm said that she should open the Book of Regrets. When she opened it however, she got lost in her own regrets as they exponentially grew as she got older."I regret not staying in The Labyrinths because I let down my brother"."I regret not staying in The Labyrinths because I let down myself". After Mrs.Elm stopped her, she asked Nora to open to a random page in the book of regrets(also saying that it was safe now) and going to the life where she did NOT regret the specific regret. After a few lives, Nora wished to go to a life where she was a good cat owner. Mrs. Elm accepted that and she went to the life where she wasn't a bad cat owner. But when Nora woke up in that life, Volts, the cat, was dead. Nora went back to the library to find Mrs. Elm to complain that Volts was dead. Mrs. Elm asked Nora to look in the Book of Regrets and turn to the last page. The regret "I regret being a bad cat owner" slowly faded away. Nora understood that going to these lives will make her regrets fade away. So, she asked for a life where she didn't give up. Where she didn't bring down her brother. Where she kept on swimming onto the Olympics. Where she was successful. Mrs. Elm rotated the library around, found the book, and gave it to her. Then, she went into that life.

She had been asleep. A deep sleep with no dream or anything. She had an alarm on her phone and a whole list of things to do as a retired Olympian. She had a strong body, and she had a TED talk link. She talked with her dad and turned out that she was a jerk in this life. She needed to do a TED talk, and did a speech. but she was really nervous, and then teleported back into the Midnight Library.

# data[].attributes.body
Then, she asked for another life, and another, and another. Mrs. Elm implied that after she chose a life, she couldn't go back to the same life. But, Nora just ignored her. She asked for another life, and another. One life she was everything, one life she was nothing, another she was everywhere, but the other life, she was nowhere. She was everyone, she was no one. She was a professional dog walker, another one homeless. She just couldn't find the perfect life. Then she got lighted up with an idea. She asked for a life where she went out with Ash for coffee. When she asked for it, she was in a large house, with Ash, and her daughter, Molly. When Molly woke up to Nora, she said that she had a nightmare, and then Nora started a questionnaire game. After she was done with that however, in the back of her heart, she still felt that the Midnight Library was waiting for her.. But in that life, she had felt something that in none of her lives had experienced, the feeling of love. She loved Molly. She loved Ash. She loved her brother, Joe. But one thing ruined it all. Her own piano student had been caught as a criminal in that life. Then she was back in the Midnight Library, screaming , "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO".

# data[].attributes.body
Nora complained to Mrs. Elm, saying that the previous life was the perfect life, where she experienced love and sadness. Where she taught at Cambridge(yes, she is bri'ish) and lived in a large house with Ash and Molly. She asked for the closest variation for that life, like when she asked for tea instead of coffee in that date. Or when she planted other flowers in her garden. But Mrs. Elm shaked her head no. Right as she did that, something was happening. Time. Time was happening, in the Midnight Library, where it was midnight every time. A wildfire spread in the library, where infinite amounts of books were burned every second. Mrs. Elm choked out,"Get the only book that is not burned, and escape this library!" But every time she tried to reach a book, the fire engulfed it. The books were in ashes. Then she found the only book that wasn't on fire. It had a green cover, and she whipped out her pen, and started writing in it. She tried "I want to live." Nothing. "I want to start again." Still nothing. Then she wrote "I AM ALIVE". She got back to her root life, in a hospital, while the Midnight Library collapsed. The doctor told her that she was in a coma, and barely survived, her heart being stopped every few minutes. Her brother, Joe, was there, saying that he loves her and vice versa.

# data[].attributes.body
After that, she wrote. She wrote something called "A thing I learned", by a nobody who has been everybody(Nora). She knew she had more to live. She went back to her school, and met a very old Mrs. Elm. She was starting to live life the way it should be.

This books tells the story of a woman in her thirties who, after suffering an overwhelming attack of hopelessness and despair, embarks on a journey to rediscover the meaning of life.  First, she regretted. Second, she tested. Third, she was hopeful and trying to live the life. I would rate this book a 4.5/5, an excellent book, which I really recommend to a friend. This book is heartwarming that informs you of choices and regrets. This is one of my favorite books.

This book is Away with the Penguins by Hazel Prior. I chose this book because I wanted to read more books and get my reading grades up if possible. The book has 335 pages and is one of the three books from the first post in The Midnight Library. This was really fun and touched my heart. I cried 11 times during this period of reading this book.

# data[].attributes.body
Veronica is on her couch, doing nothing except ordering Eileen around, and of course, closing the door. When the clock hits seven, she is alone, which she feels satisfied with. When she turns on the TV, she realized that she has watched every channel with every show. Veronica is still ordering Eileen around, basically doing everything in her home. She reads Terry's penguin blogs. She watches The Plight of the Penguins every day the day Earth Matters ended. Until she found out that she has a grandson, named Patrick.

# data[].attributes.body
Discuss the setting of the book. How does the author help you imagine this setting?

The setting was pretty dull, but I could imagine Veronica sitting on her couch in a big house with her housemaid, Eileen, waking up in such a dull way, in a dull life, until she gets a mail that she has a grandson, which makes the story much, much more exciting. This setting won't interest much readers at first, but later it does, when it goes to the climax.

# data[].attributes.body
Imagine yourself as the main character in the story. Would you make a different decision than the character? Explain why or why not.

I wouldn't waste my time as a grown up and start doing something that could be once in a lifetime, because I really don't have much to live, since I'm 85 years old, if I was one of the main characters. I would try to accept everything, unless it's bad, and rush/slow down on something that I will/ will not do. If I know that I have a grandson, then I will rush over to greet him and spend time with him, because the main character, Veronica, has most, if not all, of her relatives dead.

# data[].attributes.body
Imagine this story in a different setting. What other parts of the story would change as a result?

Maybe I think that the "housemaid" part is going to change, because for a different setting, it probably isn't a house, and there should be no housemaids cleaning the side of the road. Also, if it was a house, but with a different house, like just a house, mansion, apartment, etc., then I don't think anything would change, since only the setting would change, not the characters.

# data[].attributes.body
What is the conflict or problem of the story? Have you ever experienced anything like this?

The first problem is that Patrick, Veronica's grandson, was missing/unknown until an anonymous person mailed her and said that she has a grandson, with the address and how to travel there. The second problem is that she wants to research and go to Antarctica to research penguins there. But the people already there, penggroupforants, doesn't want her there. And they already hate her at her first day there. The third problem is that she wants to take an injured baby penguin in. But since penggroupforants hates Veronica and they don't encourage wild penguins in the lab, they want the injured one out. The final problem is that Patrick wants to stay at Antarctica, even though all his friends, his ex, and his grandma is back at home, he can't go both ways. So he just stays at Antarctica. I think I experienced the second one, because at my old school, no Koreans/Asians were there. So it was new for them to have an Asian at the school. I was hated and they wanted me to leave, so I went to a different school and now I'm here. So I guess that it is basically a variation of the second reason.

Space Case by Stuart Gibbs is a 250 page long book. I chose to read this book because this book is created by Stuart Gibbs, one of my favorite authors. I have basically read all of his books, and I really enjoy them. This is the first book of the Moon Base Alpha(MBA) series.

# data[].attributes.body
Imagine this story in a different setting. What other parts of the story would change as a result?

First of all, I don't think the name of the book or series will be about space. This book's setting is only on the space, and if the setting changed, then as a result, every single thing about this series would change, from insults to the NASA and Government to his friends and family.

# data[].attributes.body
Discuss the setting of the book. How does the author help you imagine this setting?

The author clearly says that he and his family are on the moon. He says things the clearly describe the setting, like a slimscreen on the wall, and inflatable cube(AKA InflatiCube) right in front of the slimscreen, sleep pods at the other side of the wall, and a door at the right side of the residence. The author also included a map at the start of the book, like where all the residents are, the labs, and the floors. I can easily imagine the setting just by closing my eyes and listening to an ebook about this.

# data[].attributes.body
What is the most exciting or important part of the story? List 3 important events that lead up to that point.

First of all, the most exciting part was the discovery of Dr.Holtz's death and the mystery of Dr.Holtz's death. At the start of the book, the author says something before the book started, that Dashiell, or Dash for short, has eaten the most horrible food in the space, chicken parmigiana. It had been a block of precooked food that had been irradiated, thermostabilized, dehydrated, and a million other steps before it came to the moon. He was in the bathroom at 2:30 AM because of the revenge of the chicken parmigiana. Then he overheard Dr.Holtz talking to someone who didn't exist. He was listening and talking. Dash had thought that it might have been a phone call, but the camera feeds didn't say. Next, a rocket landed, which brought more people and scientists on the moon. One of them was Zan Perfonic. And she was talking to Dr.Holtz that night. Lastly, Garth Grisan, the murderer, was about to release all the oxygen in the base out onto the surface of the moon. Then they found out that Garth was the murderer, thanks to Dash, and finally resolved the book in an ending when Dash found out that Zan was an alien who was projecting herself into Dash's mind.

# data[].attributes.body
What is the conflict or problem of the story? Have you ever experienced anything like this?

When Dr.Holtz, probably the oldest and the smartest in all of MBA(Moon Base Alpha) died, that was the beginning of the climax, conflict, and problem at the same time. Right after he died, it wasn't until about 7 AM until his death was discovered. In hopes of proving Dash wrong, Nina, the base main commander, tried to lead Dash into doing other things like making video logs, introducing new lunarnauts, and playing with Violet, Dash's little sister. When Kira, a new moonie/lunarnaut, overheard Dash and Zan, the alien, talking, she asked to help. But there was a downside for her not helping. She would tell everyone on the base, including NASA. Dash knew he was going to be in trouble if everyone finds out, so he let her to help. Near the end of the story, when Dash found out the Garth Grisan, one of the most meek people on the base, killed Dr.Holtz, he said that he would release all the oxygen on the base. That was a big problem. When he was caught off guard, he almost released all the of oxygen in the base.

This book is about a man in a moon base who got murdered. A boy on the moon who is bored out of his mind who finds out who is the murderer but almost gets murdered. Many of the occupants on the moon doubt Dash, the main character, except one. She helps Dash find the murderer, along with Kira. (If this was the back summary of a book then add this) Read this book to find what happened to them!

Absolutely funny and amazing book, ★★★★★ 5/5 book, would definitely recommend to anyone between 7-13. I love this book and series so much.

# data[].attributes.body
Spaced Out by Stuart Gibbs is a 352 page book. I chose this book because it is the second book of the series of the Moon Base Alpha(MBA). I also chose this book because it is written by my favorite author, Stuart Gibbs.

# data[].attributes.body
Can you connect with one of the characters? How does this affect your reading of the book?

Yes, the main character of the book, Dash. It makes me actually imagine the whole thing, the point of view from Dash, and even his family and friends. The author gives so much detail especially with friends, and I can imagine the whole story just by closing my eyes and e-reading it.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you know anything about the author? How does this knowledge influence your understanding of the book?

I know that this author likes to talk about a smart kid, who for some reason, in all of his books, has a girlfriend. I know that Stuart Gibbs likes to write about a kid who first got doubted about a crime, then solves it, then he gets basically no credit after he solves it, due to people covering up the story. After knowing this, I can easily conclude the introduction, climax, and conclusion, basically the whole book. Even though I don't actually know what will happen, I can easily guess the main story and climax of any book from this author.

# data[].attributes.body
What is motivating the character(s)?

I think the stress, the extreme mystery, and Zan is motivating Dash to find Nina, because first of all, all of the stress from solving the last mystery and next, the mystery is very suspicious. Nina is suddenly missing, but she is the moon base commander, so having her missing is a critical flaw to the base. Zan is also motivating Dash, because without her, the moon base is probably going to fail, and since Zan is transmitting her thoughts to Dash, helping him find Nina by making Zan try to go into her mind.

# data[].attributes.body
This book is a 4.55/5, it is pretty good, but not really the best. An old woman named Veronica is living a dull life until she finds out about the penguins and her grandson. She is about to go to an adventure of her life with a baby penguin. I would not really recommend this to a friend, because the first part and last parts are pretty boring and probably a time-consuming book. Only the middle is that fun, but you can't really make much sense without reading from the first page.

# data[].attributes.body
This book is definitely a 4.9/5, though just a little tiny worse than the first book, it is still really good. A boy on a moon base who is still bored out of his mind gets in trouble with the moon base commander, but suddenly she disappears. She was in a large mystery, where she is dead or not, and the alien, Zan, comes and helps. I would of course recommend this book to another person, now any age, because this book is just purely good. This book is so fun, but is a just a hint more boring than the first book of the series.

# data[].attributes.body
Waste of Space by Stuart Gibbs is a 298 page book. I chose this book because it is the last book in the MBA series. I also chose this because, like I said in all of these books, it is written by my absolute favorite author, Stuart Gibbs.

# data[].attributes.body
This picture is Moon Base Alpha, well, on the moon as the name suggests. There is everything humans need to survive on the moon, obviously including oxygen. There are tubes to go out to the surface, robots to automate repetitive tasks, solar panels to gather energy, and more. Although I found this image online, this is the rough image of Moon Base Alpha and mostly looks like it, just like the book describes it.

# data[].attributes.body
What is the conflict or problem of the story? Have you ever experienced anything like this?

The conflict of the story was that Lars Sjoberg, probably the worst person on the moon base, suddenly got cyanide poisoned, for probably no reason at all. He had lutefisk at about 2 AM and that was pretty suspicious. I don't think I did or will ever get cyanide poisoned unless I eat for example, apple seeds or cherry pits. Cyanide poisoning also happens with large amounts of cyanide, where most seeds don't have.

This book is very good but not like the other books, so it is a 4/5. The same boy that was bored on the moon is his birthday back at his home planet, Earth. But then, Lars Sjoberg, the base tyrant, suddenly got poisoned with lethal amounts of cyanide for an unknown reason. Zan however, needed to stop contacting Dash because she was disobeying her alien superiors. I would definitely recommend this because this is so fun to read and it is pretty addicting to read, only from this author.

The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa is a 143(about 220 for mine) page long translation book from the Japanese book 本を救った猫(The Books that were Saved by a Cat), translated by Louise Heal Kawai. I chose this book because it looked pretty fun to read, and I wanted to buy a good book, which it was.

The high school boy, Rintaro Natsuki in Natsuki Books

# data[].attributes.body
This boy, Rintaro Natuki, is one of the two main characters in the book. He is an average high school boy, and he is in his grandpa's book shop, Natsuki Books. He is confused that Tiger, the tabby cat who magically appeared after his grandpa died, actually appeared.

# data[].attributes.body
Imagine yourself as the main character in the story. Would you make a different decision than the character? Explain why or why not.

I would make a critically important decision than Rintaro; I would not move away from my book store(saying that I am the main character) just because my grandpa died. The book store is very important to the community based on context, and without it, the neighborhood will have no books to read except for the ones in circulation. This would make the neighborhood less smart and happier because there are no more books selling.

This book, for me, was a total 5/5. A boy who was mourning over his grandfather's death, Rintaro, suddenly meets a talking tabby cat named Tiger. Together with a girl on some adventures, they work together to save books and people from their inevitable destiny, the death of books and the peoples' failure in life. I will recommend this book to all ages, as it is extremely great. It is fun and suspenseful, making the book have a balanced and simple structure.

The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway is a 128 page  long classical book. I chose to read this because I wanted to read a real classic book that wasn't that hard and long. I thought it was the right choice and it was.

# data[].attributes.body
This man in the boat in the sea has gone into the sea for eighty-four days but hasn't caught a single fish. He had an accompanied, young boy who was five years old, but he had to go home and never came back. So, the old man was in the sea with only a solo himself. In this picture you can see a dolphin that he is about to catch.

Do you have anything in common with the main character? Explain.

I think I have something in common with that old man. It is about failure. The old man failed to catch a fish in over 80 days, and people are losing hope in him in catching a fish. After more than 80 days of no fish, he finally caught a giant dolphin and made the little boy come back. And that little boy to me is like success in my life and pride if what I did.

I don't really like this book, only 1/5 stars. An old man who had gone over 80 days without a fish, is being despised by everyone and is being called unlucky. A little boy is the only one who believed in him, and after going more and more days without fish, he finally caught a dolphin and celebrated his success. This book, I would only recommend to older ages because this book is very advanced. This book is very complicated and has hard words. It is just commentary about what the old man is doing.

Framed! by James Ponti is a 304 page long comedy and mystery book. I chose to read this book because I saw this book lying on my bookshelf at my apartment, so I just picked it up and started reading this book.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the art museum(not really) in which the 3 masterpieces were stolen. They were just taken off the walls when the security cameras were gone, and I think that was the reason why they were stolen in the first place. In total, they are around 75 million dollars, and that would cost them many of the artworks there.

Compare and contrast two characters in the book. You may also compare/contrast a character in this book to a character from a different book.

Florian: He is much shorter than Margaret, and from my inference, he is probably white(I'm trying my best not to be racist).
He is a 7th grader, but since Margaret is at least a foot taller than Florian, I think she is probably an 8th grader. Florian seems very into a lot of things, but Margaret likes to do things together and doesn't like a lot of stuff. Florian wants to do something one by one, but as I mentioned, Margaret likes to do things at the same time.

I really like this book, 4.5/5 stars. An average genius is roaming across town, and suddenly, a big heist happens at the local art museum. He notices many small things that seem to connect. Click. He uses TOAST to figure out more and more mysteries with his friend, Margaret. Together, they join the FBI and establish Florian Bates Investigations(FBI). He soon becomes the star of his family, and has to find out more.

Vanished! by James Ponti is 384 page long book and is the sequel to Framed!, another book by James Ponti. I chose to read this book because the last one was really good and wanted to read more of these books.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the setting at the start of the book. Although technically it is the start of the book, the detailed and later parts of this setting is near the end of the book. I don't want to spoil this book, but this is where the violinist probably went, and also, probably ran away. At the end, the boy was found and he went back to China.

# data[].attributes.body
What is the conflict or problem of the story? Have you ever experienced anything like this?

The problem is something, or someone important like your phone or your friend, is lost. I honestly experienced this over a million times already, but I usually find them. My experience was almost always experienced as a child, like when I lose my favorite toys.

This book is pretty good(4/5) but it can be improved much greatly by just adding more funnier or more suspenseful actions in the book. It is basically the same idea as the first book, Framed!, just that it starts as a boy being lost near the river and not Florian being kidnapped by his best friend's dad.

The Cold War(AVSI books by Oxford) is a 204 page long book about the real Cold War between the USA's NATO and the Soviet Union's Warsaw Pact. This is a non-fiction book and I wanted to read this book because I want to read more about WW2 and the events following the war.

# data[].attributes.body
The setting in the Cold War is mostly in Europe, but all around the world. I just put the setting as Europe because most of the main actions are in this continent(start and end of WW2, creation of UN, NATO, and the Warsaw Pact, etc.). The reason Europe had so much conflicts was because they wanted more and more power instead of being humiliated such as Germany from the Treaty of Versilles(that started WW2).

Although I didn't read the whole book, I can guess the summary & end of the book. My guess is that the book is a 3.7/5. It's 1914. World War I just started. People all over the Russian Empire are cheering for their emperor as they invade Austria-Hungary and the German Empire. But something goes terribly wrong. The well-trained Germans are starting to invade deep into the Russian Empire and the emperor & people are losing hope. One man called Vladmir Lenin starts a civil war after overthrowing the monarchy. He and his Red Army wins the war but loses significant amounts of territory due to the treaties, but the Soviet Union is proclaimed. Fast forward until the end of World War II. The three superpower allies, the United States, Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom were good "chums". But as time goes on, the superpowers' relations deteriorate. Read how they solve this problem.

# data[].attributes.body
Although this picture is the same from the second post of the last column, this is the real setting of the European Union(because there is "Europe" in the "European Union").

# data[].attributes.body
The European Union(also an AVSI book by Oxford) is a 209 page long book about facts, history, and creation(and maybe the downfall) of the European Union. All of these AVSI books are nonfiction, and I chose this book because I thought it would be similar to the cold war.
