Very nice story

Great story . Love how the author goes between timelines. The story is centered around haven and her quest to continue the searcher dad started. The story brings us between the 1800’s with Mari and Holmes story as well as Haven and Enzo. Really enjoyed .

This book is kind of ridiculous and dumb, but that’s exactly why I like it. It was a little simple, but nice.

This is an amazing sequel to Growing Pangs which follows Katie through the tough path of growing up. Katie has started learning to manage her OCD and is going to try out for the musical Annie. Then, she realizes she has a crush on a girl. But her church is filled with people who say that being gay or bisexual is bad and a sin. They also say that girls are meant to simply help the men. Katie has to push through and learn that they can’t tell her who she can’t be and that she has to shine as her own person. This is an amazing book and I would recommend it to anyone.

Atwood writes beautifully with very specific attention to the littlest of details in her character. She does not let the reader forget the intricacies of the narrator, which is so essential in reminding us of her humanity in a world where she is treated as less than human. The flow of the book might seem unnatural since its not linear, but the flashbacks to Offred's time before she was taken as a handmaid are interspersed throughout the novel in a way that allows you as the reader to understand her losing her grip on reality and the person she once was. We can better understand her struggle of maintaining the woman she once was in this way. Overall the language of the book was engaging and gorgeous in its description and attention to narrative feeling.

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 He argues that the traditional system of rewards and punishments—what he calls “carrots and sticks”—is outdated and often ineffective, especially for modern, creative, or cognitive tasks.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.

A very interesting story of the Murano, Italy, glass industry. The chapters move through centuries of time as the characters age very little, making it a bit confusing to follow the story line.

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!

This book was amazing. I wasn’t sure that it would be because it’s not like my usual, dystopian. But this book was really good it was surprisingly similar to Ban This book, by Alan Gratz. It really just seemed to be the teen version of that book. One difference was that in Ban This Book most of the book is focusing on the library itself but this book mainly focuses on the consequences of the library, good or bad. One thing that I would recommend would be to read some of the books mentioned in this one because most of the time I was confused because it was talking about and using similes between that book and this one. If I could turn back in time then I would 100% read the other books that include Don’t Tread On Me. The book is mainly focused on.
