THE ENDING. HOLY #$&*&. I love when authors have the guts to do what she did.
The Leading Edge of Now by Marci Lyn Curtis

TRIGGER WARNING, this book is about rape. It's not graphic but it's brought up a lot.
Okay, non spoiler.
I think this book had a great idea. I wanted to like this more. The first 3/4 of the book was strong for me. It seemed rather realistic. However, the end just kinda had a huge mood shift and the ending was okay. However, it didn't feel like the rest of the book and kind of ruined the book to me. The ending happened a little too fast and too different. I'd be cool if it took longer for the mood to change.

Codename: Sailor V, Vol. #1 by Naoko Takeuchi

Okay, okay. I did grow up with Sailor Moon and was a hardcore fan basically my whole life. I loved the show when I was younger and I was one of those people (and still do) go on fan sites.
While this isn't as good as the main series, it's still a treat. Of course it's a bit immature. That's kind of it's charmed. Too many series about middle schoolers either make them like young child mentality or too grown. I think it hits the nail on the head about an average 13 year old mind set.
The silliness of it is great. It's funny and fast past.
It has flaws tho. I can't give it past a 3 star, but I do love it. I recommend it if you love Sailor Moon. I don't know if it'd put a Sailor Moon virgin into the series.
The artwork is also BEAUTIFUL.

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

This was really cute! I’m glad I finally got around to reading it. I’ve been wanting to see the movie but just not enough time. I’ve heard a lot of love and a lot of annoyance from this book.
Saying that, I read this on my library’s app (Libby) and doubt this is a book I’d want to re read or own but for a free cute little reas I loved it.
I thought the author did a good job on capturing a teenage mindset. Too many ya authors make the teenagers either way too immature or too mature.
I also liked we got to see what happens after the big event!

The Glass Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg

It was better then the first book. I’m so interested in the magic system but not interested in the people. I’ll probably finish series because it’s free and the magic system and the world is just enough to keep me interested.
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

“Jesus!" Luke exclaimed.
"Actually, it's just me," said Simon. "Although I've been told the resemblance is startling.”
This book has a lot of humor in it, while not seeming to be overly corny. Some of the love stuff was a little annoying but, I really enjoyed this. I wasn't sure what to expect because I heard so much positive and negative.
I noticed a lot of Twilight lovers love this series. I can definitely see why. I don't know why. I'm not a huge Twilight fan (don't hate it), and the story is more complex from Twilight but I can see why the fans would love this too.
This series has been hyped up on Booktube so much and I finally just now made the plug since this book was a deep sale a couple months back and thought hey why not.
I'm definitely going to continue through.

This is one of those books I read as a child and always thought of. I decided to reread this since it was on my library’s app. Just as beautiful as I remembered.
The Help by Kathryn Stockett

I read this right after To Kill a Mockingbird. I don’t know if that made me love this more but I quite enjoyed this book. I didn’t want it to win. I want to hear more about these women’s lives.
The Map of Salt and Stars by Zeyn Joukhadar

I really enjoyed this book but I wasn’t wow’d. I liked seeing all the different countries even if it was just traveling of Syria, Egypt and Jordan. I do think this book is important to read.
Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan

Even though this book was written in the great depression, I think we should be paying more attention to it today. I wish the book was longer. I'd love to see a slower evolution. I love how this tackled the deportation issue that was never taught about in school.
