It shows the development of racism in the United States and talks about what everyone can do to fight it. The whole book was fascinating, and I learned lots of things I never knew about US History. ]]> 2020-04-01 20:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/487615022 rpickering4 https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/513103807 I don't get sentimental with books often, but this one made me tear up.

While the school wants to have a memorial, Monica’s trying to forget her sister’s suicide. Only, Monica keeps finding things that make her question what really happened five years ago; the locked drawer in her stepfather’s cabinet that contained letters, and her sister’s phone. Monica’s life is falling apart, but one thing’s for sure, the consecutive deaths of five friends could not have been a coincidence.]]> 2020-04-23 18:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/526594120 https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/526916855 2020-04-23 21:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/526916855 https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/528280980 It's about a girl named Lyra that wants to go to the north.

There is so many plot twist, even between the books, I couldn't stop until I read the whole series.
There are three books; Frostblood, Fireblood, and Nightblood.
The story is about Ruby, a Fireblood. She can manipulate flames, but she hides it like her mother told her because in her country, people like her are hunted. One day, the king's soldiers pass close to her village and discover her. They torch her village, kill her mother, and throw her in prison for a long amount of time. She is broken out by rebel Frostbloods (ice controllers) to assault the king and save the suffering population, for what they will train her untamed powers. Somewhere along the way, she has to compete in an arena as the king's champion, and will try to do what she has to do then.]]> 2020-04-24 13:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/528354491 https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/528611691 It is a book about a japanese-american girl named Summer, whose family is having a very bad year. They had 8 flat tires in one week, and her grandmother has excruciating back problems. Further more, her brother Jaz is left with no friends when his best friend moves away.

By which I mean, it's To Kill a Mockingbird, but with more modern-day issues. It's very mild, and like To Kill a Mockingbird, it lacks a very clear plot, but it's still enjoyable. The characters are super interesting, and you can see everything slowly building up and unfurling. It's really lovely, though, and I'd definitely suggest it to maturer audiences. It's kind of dark, though, as I said, so it's probably not suitable for everyone. 
I also read The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali, which is probably even darker than The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but has a plot and is a faster read. It's also quite lovely. ]]> 2020-04-27 19:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/534501288 https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/537935275 It is romance novel about a girl who volunteered at and a shelter and became friends with a dog and then that dog got adopted and she fell in love with the guy who adopted him. All while that is happening there is also friend and family drama and her denying the fact that she has a crush. It’s a such a good book that I am rereading for the second time and even though I shared a lot there are a lot of surprises and parts where you are feeling sadness with the characters. One of the ones that actually made me tear up is when the dog is being taken out of the shelter. Hope you read!! ]]> 2020-04-29 02:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/537935275 https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/541712757 About a homeless girl.]]> 2020-04-30 12:09:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/541712757 rpickering4 https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/542090139 William "Scoob" Lamar has been grounded over Spring Break by his rule loving father for something completely stupid.

They hope this sacrifice will keep her from terrorizing their town. But the witch in the forest, Xan, is kind and gentle. She shares her home with a wise Swamp Monster named Glerk and a Perfectly Tiny Dragon, Fyrian. Xan rescues the abandoned children and delivers them to welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing the babies with starlight on the journey.

One year, Xan accidentally feeds a baby moonlight instead of starlight, filling the ordinary child with extraordinary magic. Xan decides she must raise this girl, whom she calls Luna, as her own. When Luna approaches her thirteenth birthday, her magic begins to emerge on schedule--but Xan is far away. Meanwhile, a young man from the Protectorate is determined to free his people by killing the witch. Soon, it is up to Luna to protect those who have protected her--even if it means the end of the loving, safe world she’s always known.

I love this series! This my first time through and I love it so far. I started this series when we were still in school and the books are so long! That's why I haven't started the amazing series until this year. I can't wait to read all the books and watch all the books in the series!]]> 2020-06-03 19:11:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rpickering4/8fhbm5fvql8a/wish/609630022
