Loved this book

Drive
by Daniel H. Pink

book cover


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 He argues that the traditional system of rewards and punishments—what he calls “carrots and sticks”—is outdated and often ineffective, especially for modern, creative, or cognitive tasks.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

Real Friends

I loved this book! It’s a great way to showcase the importance of friendship and the dangers of the dreaded “groups of popular jerks.” I don’t like the way it portrays 6th graders a s”cool,” when 6th graders are just like 5th graders, but the boys are more annoying. ;)

Educated

book cover


Excellent memoir of adversity and letting go of an attachment to home, moving beyond guilt, and shedding shame. Tara could have easily fell into the life that her parents lived, but instead chose her own path despite how difficult it was to separate herself from her family, and ultimately losing them at the end.

This Book Won't Burn

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.

Sunrise On The Reaping (a Hunger Games Novel)
by Suzanne Collins

book cover


I simply cannnot explain how good this book is!! The way that Susanne Collin’s ties in parts from the other 4 books is amazing!!! It kind of made me want to cry. Is that bad? The way that president snow killed Lenore dove is horrible in a twisted intelligent way. Again is it bad that I understand that? The rest of the book I fell immune to but what really got me was the epilogue. The way that he saw Kathi’s grow up and how she was really the one that stopped the sunrise on the reaping. But what really got me was the last line was when he remembered his now dead brother saying happy birthday on the reaping day. I can not even explain how this made me feel.
