I loved this book!
It has started my long time love affair with Michelle Griep :)
This book captivated my attentions from the very first page, the characters have such great chemistry between them and the secondary characters. I loved the unique story line and the historical aspect of indentured service was so cool :) I absolutely recommend this book.

This book was FANTASTIC!
I so enjoy ways to affirm my love for my husband. I thought the different ways that Lisa Jacobson had me think about for affirming my husband were great and that they were thought provoking and gave me several new ways to encourage him.
I give this book a resounding 5 stars. I highly recommend reading this book!

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill
1998 | Hip-hop, Rhythm And Blues, Soul

"I sang this song, a capella, at a talent show and won three weeks in a row. As a young African-American woman, I found the lyrics resonated with me, because I was still trying to find out who I was, what I wanted to say and how I was going to make music. Everything she says in the song helped shape my early thoughts. She hasn’t made an album in a long time, but that’s cool — I’ll be here waiting."

Rating: 4.5/5
Thoughts: THE GUILT GENE is Diana’s memoir in poetry. Her life was filled with excitement, pain, loss and gain. Her words are beautiful and lyric and demand to be read several times over, not just once. Many times while reading this book I read the same poem over several times, just so I could hear it again. Her story is a sad but hopeful one, and something I believe everyone should read.


Recommendation: Ages 12+

So, I'm not sure if I was supposed to by sympathetic towards Teddy Kennedy with everything surrounding this whole incident... But I'm not. It didn't change my thoughts on him at all. Dirtbag. Jason Clarke did well as Ted, and with the mannerisms and everything. I loved Ed Helms in this film. He was legitimately the only thing interesting.
I know they were billing this as the 'unknown story' and everything, maybe for people that know absolutely nothing about it.
The 5 is for Ed Helms alone.

An adorable way to go about some pretty dark things. This book brings in; parental loss, drugs, bullying, and so much more while still feeling almost light.
The good in the book outshines all the bad. While it is a lengthy read there is a lot of side thoughts and discussions that most teens if not anyone would appreciate. The author tries to tackle so much that at points it gets a bit wordy.
Overall I really enjoyed the book, characters, and that ending was beyond perfect.

Great read
John Green has a talent for making his characters feel like real people with very real problems. Aza's struggle with her mental health is heartbreaking and engaging, but the true magic of this book is how her struggles also impact those around her. Davis and Daisy are both well rounded characters who have realistic reactions to Aza's illness. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would like an inside look at the spiraling invasive thoughts that can be caused by mental illness.

The timeline and research blew my mind
I didn’t know if I was going to like a book purely delivering a take on Greek mythology, turns out I loved it. Circe is pretty much the sole actor on stage and she captivates you with her thoughts, decisions, deeds and most of all her growth into the goddess she was destined to be. The writing was superb.

I recommend this to all my friends to just give it a go, even if you think it’s not your thing.

A very interesting read!
A more unique story topic I am not sure ive read before. The author did a great job of explaining the emotions and actions of the characters, I truly enjoyed this book and would recommend it if you want a unique story to read. 4 out of 5 stars for originality, great character building, and the mystery.

This was a great book it caught my attention right off with the characters name, Delight :) . I have never seen a name like that before. I also love stories about the revolutionary war and this one was very interesting with a Redcoat switching to the Patriot cause. Plus I loved the story included by Jill Stengl. I highly recommend reading this book.
