He writes in such a conversational way that any one can understand and connect to it. Plus, he calls each of us to acknowledge our own roles when it comes to combating racism.]]> 2020-04-18 18:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amber_foulk/brbd0d1mgvr9c9hd/wish/514599293 https://padlet.com/amber_foulk/brbd0d1mgvr9c9hd/wish/517720677 Really enjoyed this book, and so far, I'm enjoying the sequel too. The author invests so much detail into the lives of Bella and Edward, and I just found out the author has the first book in Edwards point of view, so that should be fun to read! Throughout the story, the author puts in detail to tie the entire story together, but leaves out some parts, so she can continue to write more. The Twilight saga, in my opinion, is a good way to spend your (extended) vacation.]]> 2020-04-20 14:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/amber_foulk/brbd0d1mgvr9c9hd/wish/517720677 https://padlet.com/amber_foulk/brbd0d1mgvr9c9hd/wish/517970270 The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo

I liked this book because the author manages to take very sensitive topics such as religion, lust, self-acceptance and make it relateable. I finished this book a while ago and really liked the book because, like I said, it is relateable and as a teen it is very stressful having to meet all of the expectations set on you and I am extremly glad I read it. It isn't a hard read but give it a shot.

Hazel feels that Gus really understands her. They both share a few things in common and love for books, especially Grace's touchstone, "An Imperial Affliction" by Peter Van Houten. When Gus scores an invitation to meet the reclusive author, he and Hazel begin their adventure of their brief lives.

It is about Annie Mathers, a teenager whose parents were country music starts but died, and Clay Coolidge, a teenage country star and heart-throb. Annie has a gift with music from her parents. Clay gets sent out to recruit Annie for his summer tour because he becomes a liability for his label. Lots of drama plays out, but also the chemistry between Clay and Annie on the stage is off the charts. When Clay makes a dumb decision it changes everything. This book was truly amazing and I loved reading it! I recommend anyone to read it, it has a lot of real life topics and situations, but it was really fun reading it.

I loved this book, mostly because the description and scenery is very intense and it makes you feel like you're right in the cottage of Honour (or Beauty - her chosen name), but also because the story is very familiar but takes suprising turns. This story is a retelling of the story of Beauty and the Beast, and follows a lot of the same plot line, except in this story, Honour is the main character. When she is a little girl, she doesn't understand the concept of the word "honour," so she asks everyone to call her Beauty instead. Although, she grows to be ugly, unlike all of her very beautiful sisters, as she tells herself the world would not be losing much without her. This is why she sacrifices herself for her family, to make sure they won't be harmed, to venture deep into the woods to find the Beast's castle. I think this would be a great book for anyone who wants a little bit of fantasy in their life, and to take a twist to the story we all knew as little kids.]]> 2020-04-21 19:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amber_foulk/brbd0d1mgvr9c9hd/wish/521231402 annamariel_balmori00 https://padlet.com/amber_foulk/brbd0d1mgvr9c9hd/wish/521812297 I loved this book, I think it might have become my favorite book. I definitely felt a connection with the main character Juliet since her main conflict was dealing with her mothers loss, I know what's it's like to lose a parent. I couldn't put it into better words, she was so descriptive of how all different emotions dwell up inside you and anything can set them off. It's a bit odd in the beginning, because she "meets" someone at a cemetery and they begin anonymously e-mailing each other and talking about their deepest secrets. Without having the knowledge that attend the same high school.

The Hunger Games is about in what was once North America, the Capitol of Panem keeps its hold on its 12 districts by forcing them each to select a boy and a girl Tributes to compete in a nationally televised event called the Hunger Games. Every person must watch as the children fight to the death until only one remains. District 12 Tribute Katniss Everdeen has little to rely on, other than her hunting skills and sharp instincts, in an arena where she must weigh survival against love. It's such a suspence filled and drama packed book, and I would recomend it to anyone, whatsoever. This was such a good book!

The main character is around our age, and the language that the author uses makes the characters' ages  believable and the story more relatable. Throughout the book, I was able to make inferences about what would happen and was right a lot of the time, but there were also times where there was a twist and it made the book even better.

I accidentally read the send book of this series by accident and now that I've read the first one, everything makes so much more sense. 
This book is a mix of sci-fi, mystery, romance, and much more. It's about a sophomore class in Idaho being chosen for "Project Nemesis." Min and Noah have been killed 5 times by a man in a black suit, but they continue to keep living. They have to figure out what's happening to them, their class, and the whole entire world. - Kaiana E.

I think this a great book and I can't wait to finish the series. Its about a girl named America. She joins this TV show to have a chance with the Prince, named Maxon. In this story there are castes, which determine what your job is and how much money you make. What Maxon doesn't know is that back at home America loves a guy named Aspen, which is forbidden.

I would definitely recommend this book and I really want to read the seocnd book. It had so much good language throughout the whole book. It was as if every single sentence was planned strategically to sound better. It was very adventerous and almost dystopian-ish.

I love this book so much.  I definitely recommend it.  The author writes in a way that isn't too complicated, and you understand what he writes. The book is about letters written to you from the main character, Charlie. He writes to you about what's going on his life and his memories. It has a lot of happy and sad moments in it, and realistic issues. It's my favorite book, and this is my 2nd time reading it.

I really liked how it was almost non-fiction storytelling in a sense. I would definitely recommend this book.

It was like the story didn't lead up to much happening between the two main characters, it was just like the characters were going through similar problems and then they met. Though, I would probably read it again cause it was mostly good and I do recommend it because it is also about anxiety, OCD, and GAD.

This is the third book in the Trials of Apollo series, (following the Percy Jackson series and the Heroes of Olympus series) full of the same characters from his past books. This is an adventure of the god Apollo who got cast down from Olympus, being blamed for starting the war with Gaea and the giants. He has to face many trials of restoring Oracles, who have gone silent from telling the future ever since the war ended. Only when he restores these oracles can he return to olympus and regain his power as a god. But for now, he's just a mortal teen.
I think this book was very interesting, at times, it can get a bit slow, but it makes up for it by action filled scenes soon after. There is one more book in this series so far, but the last book has not been published yet, leaving me wondering if I will have to endure a terrible cliffhanger until this series can finish itself.]]> 2020-05-08 16:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amber_foulk/brbd0d1mgvr9c9hd/wish/560296314 https://padlet.com/amber_foulk/brbd0d1mgvr9c9hd/wish/560393887 I really enjoyed this book. Before reading it, I had never heard George Washington Carver's name before, but after reading this book about his life story through someone he knew when he was alive, he's a new inspiration for me. He had such a positive affect on everyone around him and you had no doubt that he did everything through God. I also thought this book was extra good, considering its original copy was written in 1939!

I mean, man, it's a ride...but this writer KNOWS words and how to knit them together to create pure magic.
