Dorian Grey
Whats the cost of immortality? Would you sacrifice the love of your family and friends to stay forever young? Dorian Grey is one of those books that makes you question yourself. It is difficult to decide whether you love or hate Dorian as a character, he has charm and finesse but theres also that lack of morals that most people develop through their life.

Lady Midnight
Welcome back to the world of Shadowhunters. Those who are familiar with Mortal Instruments would find the familiar world reassuring. However, this one is a little more charged and complex than earlier one's. This one is a little overboard with inevitability of love and sacrifice. However, for readers of Cassandra Clare, that would be a given and even expected.

Ability to switch perspectives
Family & relationships that feel authentic
Real love story
This was a really well-written book. It's refreshing to see a WOC write about a black family in a way that is so real, authentic and relatable. It's a love story, but not in the traditional sense where there's a magical "happily ever after". It's a love story where people have to sacrifice, learn, and adapt to stay committed to the people they care about.

The homage to Obi-won’s sacrifice in New Hope when Luke does the same thing for Leia and the handful of rebels. (2 more)
The teaming up for Rey and Ben with guards.i was looking forward to this movie. I have always been a Star Wars fan with R2D2 being my favorite droid. I think the change of director changed the story’s vision a little. I wished
The death of the supreme leader.

In [The Other Side of the Island] the author[Allegra Goodman] gives us a very interesting take on our possible future. The Corporation and Earth Mother are building the Enclosure over the (now flooded) Earth to protect the people. The question is at what cost does this protection come and what are you willing to sacrifice?
The book was an excellent read and as the author intended left me with questions. I will be highly recommending this book to my students.
