I love the storyline of this manga, it's a mix of drama, romance, and a tiny bit of action. My favorite character in the series is Daichi Kitazawa because he is so funny, and gets really jealous, almost like a child. I hope other people read this manga because it is really interesting. I could stay up all night reading Kitchen Princess. The art is amazing, and I hope one day I will be able to draw characters as pretty as Natsumi Ando! I hope other people enjoy this manga just like I do!

I first saw this book by Will Walton in a recommended feed. Ms. McHugh ordered it for Library and when it came in I got straight to reading! Anything Could Happen is a universal love story that will surprize you. It is enthralling and well worth the read. It is a wholesome LGBTQ story that will make you happy you picked it up!

I recently borrowed The Woman In Cabin 10 and was not disappointed. The writer Ruth Ware's style was really visual and interesting. The plot of this book kept me intrigued the whole time and I would definitely recommend it to most readers!

Throne of Glass is an excellent fantasy story, with romance, mystery, and it is a wonderful start to a series. The main protagonist, Celaena, is an amazing well developed character.

The Night Circus was one of my favourite reads. It has the perfect blend of suspense, emotion, and magical allure. The story really transports you to a fantasy world where it seems like anything is possible. I would recommend borrowing this book to anyone who likes fantasy and thrillers!

I recently finished reading Robert Muchamore's Henderson's Boys Series. I really enjoy his books - Scorched Earth was probably one of my favourites. I liked the depth he went into with each of his characters and even a summary the end to explain what happened to each of them.

The Hate You Give is an excellent and insightful story, I am so glad I took it out of the Library. The book follows a youth navigating two different types of worlds. The plot includes romance, but is mainly about activism, which is why I liked it. The book is so well written it was like watching a movie, except I was reading it..

This novel teaches an invaluable life lesson. Love wins. Even in the midst of pure evil and hate, love can still win. This novel is based on the real experiences of Holocaust victims, and proves that love and friendship were still able to blossom in Auschwitz - one of the most voltatile Nazi death/labour camps during the Holocaust.

I loved Blood of Olympus! This book is a real page turner; I wished it would have never ended.. you feel as if you are accompanying the heroes on their quest!

Clive Cussler and Justin Scott's mystery novel, "The Gangster," is a novel about murders and a criminal group known as the "Mano Nera," or "The Black Hand." I liked the book, as it provided a lot of information about life in the early 20th century, as well as a thrilling murder story that made the book impossible to put down. The antagonist is hidden throughout the book, and the detective Isaac Bell, journeys through a series of attacks, murder, money and blunder. If only I could read it again!

I recently finished reading the Twilight series and I really enjoyed the books. I thought that the author transports you into a world with vampires so well that you start to forget reality. I thought the author was a great writer that makes you want to read more after you finish every book. I highly recommend this series.
