Book two- Scarlet
Book three- Cress
Book four- Winter

I first heard about this series working at the library in my old school. A couple students were reading it and told me I should check it out. At first I thought it was too science fiction for me so I didn't read it right away. I waited until this school year during benchmark week to pick it up.
I am so glad I did! Once I read the first book I was hooked on Cinder and her story. It follows the story of Cinderella except in this case it's not only about falling in love with a prince. It's much more...]]> 2020-03-21 00:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/468618311 amparitoramirez1_1 https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/468622078 The second book in the series is Scarlet. Cinder runs into a character that is like little red riding hood, Scarlet. She has red hair, a lost grandmother, and falls in love with a wolf like character. 
So Marissa Meyer keeps with her fairytale like stories in this book.
Scarlet is a headstrong character and I love that there are so many strong female leads in the books.  ]]> 2020-03-21 01:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/468622078 amparitoramirez1_1 https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/468627492 If you like Tangled then you will love book 3 in the series.
In this book Cinder meets a girl Cress who is stuck in a satellite above the world. Cinder and her team go on a mission to rescue her. A lot of important things happen in this book for Cinder and her group.]]> 2020-03-21 01:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/468627492 amparitoramirez1_1 https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/468630951 The way book 3 ends you are waiting on edge to see what happens in book 4! In this book the princess Winter is introduced and war breaks lose. This book has so many twists and turns that once it's done you are relieved.


Overall the series was worth the read. Having read the series during the time we're going through it is kind of eerie. Only because it is a dystopian world that could parallel our own. ]]> 2020-03-21 01:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/468630951 amparitoramirez1_1 https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/468632775 Wow, what a great book. The main character  Emoni is a senior who deals with a lot more than the average 17 year old has to deal with. While anyone else would give up she continues to strive and graduate while doing the things she loves. Afro latinas are hardly represented and this book does a great job of voicing her identity while throwing in some Puerto Rican history. ]]> 2020-03-21 01:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/468632775 amparitoramirez1_1 https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/468633740 Tell me about the books you have read.]]> 2020-03-21 01:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/468633740 amparitoramirez1_1 https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/479915291 I loved The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas so choosing to read another book by Angie was natural. Bri’s rhymes were great I loved how her raps spoke her truth. She was able to use her words to make an impact on her community. Bri only proves the power of words. 
Great read! So great that I was able to finish it in one day 😅😊]]> 2020-03-28 19:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/479915291 amparitoramirez1_1 https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/490002507 April is national poetry month. Xiomara  Batista is Poet X. She uses her poems as a way to get out all her thoughts. Xiomara learns to use her voice at the end of the story in a poetry slam. Having never felt heard and oppressed by her mother’s faith and strict rules she struggles to find herself and relate to her mom. Throughout the book you feel sorry for Xiomara and by the end you are rooting for her to win and find herself. It makes you feel anxious, sad, angry, uncomfortable but ultimately happy for Xiomara. Great Read finished it in a day and a half.  ]]> 2020-04-02 22:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/490002507 amparitoramirez1_1 https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/652686721 Wow this is a quick read but powerful. It makes you think of the world today and how much has happened in the last 40 years. A story worth reading and talking about. ❤️]]> 2020-07-12 17:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/652686721 amparitoramirez1_1 https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/665271614 This book was recommended by a 7th grade student I had in class last year. I Love Trevor Noah as a comedian and his book about his childhood is amazing. He has went through so much in his lifetime. Things that would have brought anyone else down, he overcame. He uses his life in his comedy and is a great host on the Daily Show.  ]]> 2020-07-29 19:58:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/665271614 lowstandversace https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/1743702944 If you like tearjerkers you would love this book! This book was based in the Holocaust about A boy named Bruno, his family and him are moving to Auschwitz to a concentration camp because his dad is A Nazi, when he gets to Auschwitz, he doesn't seem to like it because he doesn't have any friends there but one day, when he looked out the window to explore, he saw a lot of people in striped pajamas (I'm not gonna spoil it) and then he was gonna go see if he can go make some friends but his parents won't let him go to the back so he snuck to the back and at the concentration camp, he met a boy named Shmuel, Bruno thought he was different but then they became friends until one day, something very sad and tragic happened to Both. Of. Them.
I hope you like this book!]]> 2021-09-15 18:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/amparitoramirez1_1/Bookmarks/wish/1743702944
