This book is amazing and talks about the issue of book banning and how one teen fights to end unfair book banning in her town. The protagonist is brave, fierce, and unafraid to stand up for book banning even if it means going against some pretty powerful politicians. This book deserves a 10/10 star rating. I would recommend this book to anyone.

This memoir is about a woman who was a flight attendant from 1979 until 1986.

I love this book because the main character has dyslexia. And I’m dyslexic so I loved the book.

This book was alright. It was kind of like a “what happens after the Aristocats movie.” It was sweet and funny, but it didn’t appeal to me like a 5 star book would.

Mehh. Story was weird. 2.5 stars

after taking a break from reading over July 4th it took me a while to get into it again. The battle descriptions are becoming a bit tedious.... but I still find the book overall to become more enjoyable. But Arthur, like a 12 year old despite being so called a "King" in the past life started running from battlefront to battlefront, as if the strategic emphasis that he himself had meticulously worded with long strings of boring text were garbage. He left the frontlines to save Tess, then again to save his parents, whom both turned out to not need the saving.

This book is incredible! It’s about a girl named Morgan who just wants to get through high school and escape her whole life on the island where she lives. But Morgan has a lot of secrets, including the fact that she’s gay. One night, she is saved from drowning by a strange girl named Keltie, and they start to fall in love. But Keltie has secrets too… this book is really sweet and I’d recommend this book to anyone!

It's certainly not the worst book I've ever read, but I don't know why everyone praises McCaffrey so much if this is her normal writing.

In Drive, Daniel H. Pink explores what truly motivates people, not just in the workplace, but in life. He argues that the traditional system of rewards and punishments—what he calls “carrots and sticks”—is outdated and often ineffective, especially for modern, creative, or cognitive tasks. Instead, Pink reveals that human motivation is driven by three key elements: 1. Autonomy – the desire to direct our own lives, 2. Mastery – the urge to get better at something that matters, 3. Purpose – the yearning to do work that has meaning and contributes to something larger than ourselves. He draws on decades of research in psychology and behavioral science to show that while external rewards can work for simple, mechanical tasks, they can actually reduce motivation and creativity when it comes to deeper, more thoughtful work. He calls for a shift in how we think about work, education, and management—moving away from control and toward trust, engagement, and internal drive. When people are given space to grow and a reason to care, they don’t need to be pushed—they’re already motivated to move forward.

This is the kind of book that's best as an audio, because the narrator (author J. P. Romney) is funny and entertaining. Even as an English major (and former teacher), it turned out that I apparently knew next to nothing about the history of books, because this book was enormously educational. Highly recommended!
