2021-08-30 16:51:56 UTC

This book was The #1 New York Times Best Seller, and I can see why. At first Edward was a vampire but there was another side of him and Emily didn't know he was thirsty for blood. But she was in love with him. Amazing book, and I can see why this is a New York Times Best Seller.

The Maze Runner

BasilPlushie — 2021-08-30 18:12:21 UTC

Honestly, this book was the most thrilling one I have ever read. I could barely put it down, even at home! It was like an emotional horror coaster. There was tragedy, excitement, horror. I just fell in LOVE with the characters! I'd recommend this book to most people that love books like this.

Warriors; The New Prophecy; Midnight, by Erin Hunter

BasilPlushie — 2021-12-02 19:57:11 UTC

A good book, especially for a cat-lover. I recommend reading the most you can out of the many arcs, but it might make you tired due to the MANY books.

Several moons have passed since six cats set out from the forest on an urgent journey to save all their Clans. Now those six are traveling home again, but on their way through the mountains, they meet a tribe of wild cats who seem to have their own set of warrior ancestors . . . and their own mysterious prophecy to fulfill. Stormfur can't understand their strange fascination with him, but he knows the danger they face is real.
Meanwhile, back in the forest, Firestar's daughter Leafpaw watches ThunderClan's world crumble around her, as the humans' terrible machines destroy more and more of their home. Will the questing cats make it back in time to save the Clans, or will they be too late?

bethhammeke — 2022-01-24 14:58:08 UTC

The Giver

2022-02-09 02:52:06 UTC

This is a book that I would recommend if you enjoy memories as well as tragedies and complicated conflicts. Even plots that involve major risks. It is about a boy name Matt who gets chosen to be a guardian of a sort and protect and experience memories. Gabe is a baby that would lose his life since he did not grow to be "normal". He eventually saves him and discovers something he never thought that he would lay eyes on. I love this book so much and the author is Lois Lowry if you want to know the author.

I LOVE IT plus there are so many. So you will be entertained for a very long time unless you read crazy fast like me. 😋

Coraline

BasilPlushie — 2022-08-25 13:54:07 UTC

Coraline is a terrifying book about a young girl who discovers another world with a creature pretending to be her "other mother."
Neil Gaiman presents horror in a new way that we have never seen before, endorsing your thoughts in the protagonist's and giving us a view of a little girl who wishes she had something better in her life. Yet, when she gets that and is presented with an opportunity with a hidden side. It also presents a good message to not judge a book by its cover, teaching us as well that you should appreciate what you have in life.

Wings of Fire

sophiaswanson2 — 2022-08-25 23:17:46 UTC

Discover a fantasy you never thought of before, where there is war between other dragons to see which out of 3 dragons sisters burn,blaze, and blister to claim the throne and will there be any dragons to stop this war and stop the sister's? But wait! There's more to discover, even more dragons and lands but will their lands be safe or has an evil cross upon it...discover in the Wings of Fire series 10/10 for fantasy readers 😊

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon

2022-09-09 15:52:10 UTC

This Book is for people who like action,mystery,and a little bit of romance in a manga. It also has a lot of great anime type art for people who like that. For a good starter tip I would read the Sailor V books 1 and 2 before starting the Sailor Moon series.

Codename Sailor V

2022-09-09 16:34:03 UTC

This book is for people who like manga and the Sailor Moon series. I would recommend reading this and the second one before starting the Sailor Moon series. All in all it is a good two books.

The Girl In The Locked Room

2022-09-12 03:06:35 UTC

This story is so thrilling and shocking it made me get on the edge of my seat. I promise this will be one of the best books you ever read.

Eragon

2022-09-27 02:20:55 UTC

This is a good book full of adventure and wonder. I had a hard time putting it down when I had to because there is always something going on or some sort of danger or problems. If you are looking for something fiction and full of action and adventure, then this is the book or series you are looking for. There are also 3 other books in the series and they are an add-on to the first book. They have the battle with Galbatorix and the main character will meet so many new creatures and people such as the elves. The other books in the series are Eldest (the 2nd book), Brisingr (the 3rd book), and Inheritance (the last book). They might be long, but they are full of detail and full of shocks and twists. That keeps the action flowing. The author of the books is Christopher Paolini, who is a magnificent author for young adults and sparks interest to anyone who dares read the books.

The Selection

2022-10-28 13:12:04 UTC

This series is an amazing one. The main character, America Singer, gets selected from a "lottery" where girls are picked to possibly be the wife of the prince. The series is full of emotion, joy, humor, and figuring out who you really are.

Orphan Island

2022-12-08 14:04:29 UTC

Ungifted

2023-01-11 16:37:38 UTC

Due to an administrative mix-up, troublemaker Donovan Curtis is sent to the Academy of Scholastic Distinction, a special program for gifted and talented students, after pulling a major prank at middle school... This book was fun and it was so easy to read, I definitely recommend it! I loved all the characters and all the trouble Donovan causes for everyone, it was just a really amazing and lighthearted story that made me smile.

The Girl From the Sea

2023-01-21 16:37:34 UTC

I love the fact that this book has LGBTQ+ recognition!

2023-01-28 01:46:21 UTC

One day, a mysterious "scientist" comes to the island to find the root of deafness on the island. He takes Mary for experiments, and she has to escape from a world where no one knows sign language. I loved this book, because there is non-stop action and the author is actually deaf, making this a high ranking in my list of books.

A Thousand Boy Kises

2023-02-07 16:05:17 UTC

The ending of this book is both sad and happy. It's worth a few tears.. The storyline is amazing.

One of Us is Lying!

bethhammeke — 2023-02-28 00:39:40 UTC

They have to fight for their freedom, as someone has framed them. Written by Karen M. McManus. 10/10 Definitely would recommend!

Case Closed

2023-02-28 14:16:44 UTC

2023-09-24 04:04:58 UTC

amulet, also called Talisman, an object, either natural or man-made, believed to be endowed with special powers to protect or bring good fortune. Amulets are carried on the person or kept in the place that is the desired sphere of influence—e.g., on a roof or in a field.

amulet

2023-09-27 14:31:07 UTC

In short, Amulet is a about finding the courage and the means of facing one's challenges and fears. It's a series about heroes and responsibility and learning to trust. It's a series about the benefits of teamwork when facing the challenges of growing up

They play these games since they got into a war. They have been going on for a while, but people will start to fight back. This series is what got me into Dystopian books like Maze Runner and Divergent.

Wings of Fire the Graphic Novels

Ollierozz121711GBMS — 2024-09-05 13:17:56 UTC

It is an awesome graphic novel adaptation for a very awesome series and there is stuff missing from the original novels. but its an awesome read (quick one too!!) but it gives you a basic idea of what dragons look like Eg; Ruby (side character) but it's an awesome one plus there's always something new somehow !!

Mabey Meant To Be

2024-10-11 02:54:55 UTC

I like this book because it's about these kids named Charlie, Sage, Luke and Nick . This book takes place at a school called Bexley School and everyone at Bexley School believes that Sage Morgan and Charlie Carmichael are meant to be together but Charlie seems to have a new girlfriend every month and Sage has never been in a real relationship, their friends and family all know that it's just a matter of time until they realize that they are actually in love and when Luke Morrissey shows up on campus, his presence immediately shakes thing up. Charlie and Luke are drawn to each other the moment they meet, giving sage the opportunity to spend time with Charlies twin brother, Nick, but Charlie is afraid of what others with think if he accepts that he has much more that a friendship with Luke and Sage fears that if she lets things with Nkick get too serious too quickly, they won't be able to last as a couple outside of High School and they'll miss their chance at forever while Charlie and Sage will need to rely on each other and their lifelong friendship to figure things out with the boys the love.

A First Time for Everything

2024-11-18 14:22:44 UTC

A first time for everything follows a guy called Dan Santat (It is a true story!) He goes overseas to study abroad with kids from around America. He gets to try new experiences (Like trying Fanta for the first time) And then, he meets a girl (I forgot her name lol) who he likes and all the girls are telling him to go for it, and when he does, it works out. The art is beautiful, and the story is absolutely AMAZING. A first time for everything is absolutely amazing =]

Summer I Turned Pretty

sydneypiland — 2024-11-19 19:42:13 UTC

This is the best romantic comedy and funny novel you will read all year long

Heartstopper ❤

2024-12-04 14:26:00 UTC

I know this book series has been posted already like, twice, but that just tells you how good it is. Heartstopper is a great book that mainly follows a gay guy named Charlie. He gets seated next to Nick, who's a year older than him and plays rugby. They become pretty good and Nick convinces Charlie to join the rugby team, and Charlie starts to develop a crush on him. Meanwhile, Nick is having an identity crisis. they end up going to a party together and they get alone and kiss. Then, their love for each other grows, from going to Paris together on a school trip, telling each other "I love you" for the first time, and some pretty hard mental stuff that Charlie goes through. They have some adorable times, and some hard ones. (Also it is a graphic novel, and it's absolutely beautiful) 10/10, would recommend :]

Warriors: The prophecies begin 1

havencornwell — 2025-10-09 13:05:16 UTC

This graphic novel has great art, (almost) spot on with the original story, and the other two graphic novels are great! Keep in mind that this is an adaptation, and not made by Erin Hunter. But Natalie and Sarah have gotten permission to make the adaptation. Many great characters, from the strong and loyal Firepaw to the deceitful and cunning Tigerclaw. You must read this book, no turning back! Because once you step into the forest, you know your DESTINY.

Warriors: The prophecies begin 2

havencornwell — 2025-10-09 13:23:22 UTC

Good book, great continuation of the first, and overall is a great book. This book should be enjoyed by cat-loving readers big and small! (SPOILER ALERT! If you don't want any spoilers, STOP READING NOW!) But I was sad that yellowfang died from a forest fire...

Warriors: The prophecies begin 3

havencornwell — 2025-10-13 13:08:40 UTC

This book is not like the others! many twists and turns, and many dangers around every corner! or every tree, in this case... tigerclaw is back, and is now leader of shadowclan! fireheart and his clan is in big trouble. there is thought to be wild dogs on the loose, but bluestar thinks its windclan! when the crisis was averted, bluestar had thought that everyone in her clan was a traitor! what will fireheart do?

my favorite moral of this series is that while spite and dishonesty may make you feel strong, being loyal makes you feel needed and loved. at least, that's the moral I got from the series...

Alexander Hamilton - Ron Chernow

Ollierozz121711GBMS — 2025-11-05 20:27:36 UTC

Its a slightly long and complicated read, but if you like longer books OR want to build your comprehension this is pretty good. it also goes into some decent detail. (ALSO IF YOUR A FAN OF THE MUSICAL, THIS IS WHAT ITS BASED OFF OF!!)

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

2025-11-24 20:29:51 UTC

Full of emotion, this story of a porcelain rabbit grips the hearts of many. His name is Edward, and his normal, predictable life changes all in an instant after a few very fateful events. Loved at first as a little girl's porcelain rabbit, then a fisherwife's friend, a puppet, and even a scarecrow! He is eventually reunited with one of his old friends.

Though seen as an inanimate object, this book dives into the thought that all things have feelings and can tell their stories. It's an unusual kind of point of view, but it's a great book nonetheless.

Legends Darkstalker Graphic Novel

havencornwell — 2025-12-12 13:46:53 UTC

(If you don't like spoilers, don't read this review.)This book is the graphic novel version of the novel "Legends Darkstalker". This takes place in the past of pyrrhia. Its when Darkstalker, mind-reader, seer, AND an Animus, has a adventure of his own. meanwhile in the seawing kingdom, Fathom, another Animus, wishes to use his powers for good after learning about them. and all the while, his Animus grandfather, Albatross, built the pavilion. but just like in the history scrolls, Albatross "lost too much of his soul" and turned homicidal. Albatross killed almost his entire family, and almost killed Fathom's true love, but Fathom enchanted a spear to impale Albatross, and he healed his true love, Indigo. and soon, they went to the kingdom of night, which is way different from the old volcano. Meanwhile, Clearsight, a Nightwing seer who has seen every future, has been studying the future like no one has ever before. But then her father sent her to a school (or at least, that's what I remember) which she didn't want to go, but she knew that if she went, she would see Darkstalker, her true love. And so, she went. Time has passed by, and everything seemed fine. But Darkstalker had a few tricks up his sleeve... He used an enchanted empty scroll to do the following without turning homicidal (these aren't the exact word-for-word):

-"Enchant this chalice to make Fathom not love Indigo once drunk out of"

-"Enchant this pebble to turn Indigo into Fathom's wooden sculpture once thrown in the same room as her"

-"Enchant Prince Arctic to do everything I say."

With all these, Darkstalker deceived everyone. He even wrote some enchantments in invisible ink. He even made himself immortal with it. Soon, Clearsight and Fathom found out about this. Once they found out, Fathom decided to use his powers one more time. He used his powers to create a bracelet to put Darkstalker into a deep sleep. Clearsight managed to put it on her true love, and Darkstalker slept for many many years, under the three moons of pyrrhia, right as the mountain fell on top of himself. But then Fathom found out that Indigo was his small sculpture, so Fathom used his powers again to bring Indigo back. And Fathom was still afraid he would lose more of his soul, but Indigo reassured him, saying that its not the soul he should listen to. Its what's in the heart that matters. (or something like that.) Years and years pass, and then, as the comet struck down, the bracelet on the sleeping dragon in the dark broke... and eyes opened like dim lightbulbs in the dark...

INF/10 book rating

2026-08-21 13:17:40 UTC

This is an amazing way to continue the story from the first two books. Not only the art is different, and in my opinion better, than the first, but it represents what happens in the book almost perfectly, while keeping the same feel as the first three graphic novels in the warriors series!
