         <description><![CDATA[<div>I came across this author on TED while searching additional materials on drugs for my teenage students.&nbsp; I loved his ideas, so I decided to look for the book he mentioned in his talk and I found it on Audible, bought it, and never regretted it. The book tackles the issues of possible reasons for having depression. To be honest, I expected it to be a bit heavy going as it's a non-fiction book, but a description of the author's&nbsp;research into the topic. The book is full of insight as the author talks with different scientists, doctors and people suffering from the disease.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I came across this book while looking for some other books, which I needed for my school project. I became interested and bought it. A friend of mine, who has already read it said that it was heavy-going, because it's a dystopian. However, I found it to be a real page-turner. I was hooked and read it from cover to cover in one day. Although sometimes it can be a tearjerker, I loved it a lot!</div><div><br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I had this book on my shelf for a long time because everyone in my family have already read it. I was a bit scared of reading this book because i knew the ending is very sad but recently i read it and i don’t regret it at all! I was hooked! I read this book from cover to cover in 3 days. I was immersed in the events and it made me very emotional especially at the end! </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I can`t say that I discovered this book while I was searching for something, because I think that probably everyone knows about it. When&nbsp; I oppened this book, I wasn`t very excited and I wanted to drop it, but luckily I continued reading for a while. And I discovered a huge world of anomalies and artifacts. The plot is very interesting and absolutely gripping, some twists are so unexpected, that I needed to reread the whole chapter. All characters are charismatic and you want to know stories of each of them. And the final Chapter is great, I love it so much. I read that book for the first time, about a year ago, and for now I reread it three times, and found something new in it for me each time. So I really recommend you to read it. I will estimate 11/10. I can't recommend it highly enough.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The book Six of Crows is written by Leigh Bardugo. It centers on&nbsp;<br>6 protagonаists: Kaz Brekker, Inej Ghafa, Jesper Fahey, Nina Zenik, Wylan<br>Van Eck and Matthias Helvar, teenagers trying to get by in Ketterdam, a city known for the crimes and cons that take place in it. When a merchant approaches them with a heist that will not only make them set for life, but also help prevent the world from going into chaos.&nbsp;<br>Both the plot and the characters are very well developed, which makes it an extremely gripping read. All the plot twists help as well. This book had me in stitches at times and in tears at others. I couldn't recommend it enough.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One of my favourite&nbsp; books is "Ann of the "Green Gables"" by Lucy Mod Montgomery. The story is set in the past on an island near Canada. The main character is a girl called Ann, who was adopted by an old couple. The book tells us a story of Ann's life and shows how she is starting to get on with other characters. It is a gripping read. From the first few pages I was hooked and read it from cover to cover. It's a heart-warming and uplifting book, which is a must-read for everyone. I couldn't recommend it highly enough!</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>a novel “impire of angels” is written by a modern french philosopher and writer Bernar Werber. In this book arthur is discribing his opinion what is going to be after our death. The main character Michel Pinson is dying at the begging and becoming an angel. In “Paradise” he is told to chose three souls to take care of them during their life time. The book describes lives of these three souls and how Michael Pinson (their guardian angel) helps them and sometimes doesn’t..&nbsp;<br>I loved this book because i always ask myself a question “what is going to happen after my death?” and i also like listening to others people theories on this topic.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"All quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Marya Remark is one of my favorite books. When I started reading it, I was hooked. It tells us about German soldiers in World War 1. All of them are not professional warriors, they are mostly all kids from one class in school and some farmers with them. The main character's name is Paul Boimer, he is fighting for his country, but while his friends were killed one by one, he starts wondering if this is worth a sacrifice. When his last best friend died he stopped being so happy about being a soldier and writes a letter to his last classmate still alive in hospital, but while he was writing, he got shot. The end of the book is a real tearjerker. Also, I loved the author's rich language so much. I think his book is a must-read for everyone.</div>]]></description>
