To All The Boys I've Loved Before


To All The Boys I've Loved Before (series)
Written by: Jenny Han
Genre(s): Young Adult, Romance, and Realistic Fiction
Rate: 8/10
About the series: Lara Jean is the most introverted high school year at her school, she's never had a boyfriend, never been to a party, and only has one close friend named Chris who is the wildest person ever. Lara is the type of girl to has the deepest feelings however she doesn't like to be open about how she feels about boys so she write down her thoughts so she can get over them quicker. Some how those letters get sent out and she has to deal with the backlash. 
My opinion on the series: I thought Lara Jean was a good role model character for the most part of the movie. All the things that happened where all relevant to high schoolers unlike some stories. Sometimes the relationships she had with some people was a little odd because they weren't that nice. 

Fun facts:
  • The first book in the series is a movie.
  • The second book in the series is being turned into a movie.

The Shining

  The Shining Written by Stephen King About 560 pages (mass market paper back ed.) Originally published in 1977 Rate 4/5 This is the second book my Themes in Literature class is reading. So far we have only covered Carrie ( hover over this to check out my book review for Carrie ). Though this story has been referenced in the media many times throughout my existence, I tried to avoid it at all costs because I wasn't a fan of horror. Junior year of high school I took a film studies class. The "here's Johnny" scene was briefly mentioned and I was so scared. After reading the book, I now realize how exaggerated my feelings about this story were. I haven't watched the movie and maybe if I did then I would side with my younger self, but right now I feel a little embarrassed. The book wasn't that scary. What is The Shining about? Jack Torrance has recently been fired. One of his good friends gets him a job at The Outlook Hotel, his job is to look after the hotel for...

The Ballad of the Songbirds and Snakes

  The Ballad of the Songbirds and Snakes Written by Suzanne Collins About 517 pages Originally published in 2020 Rate: 5/5 Coriolanus Snow is the future president of Panem. The Ballad of the Songbirds and Snakes is not only his origin story, but the origin story of The Mockingjay. No, I am not talking about the birds that the government created in order to spy on the district people. I am talking about The Mockingjay whom we all know and love, Katniss Everdeen. Though Katniss Everdeen's full name isn't explicitly stated, she lives in this book. Her presence is known decades before she's born. "One way or another, their fates were irrevocably linked." (p. 25) Coriolanus, along side his classmates, are mentors for the 10th annual Hunger Games. He wants to win, to prove he is worthy, to bring pride to his family's name. However, when he gets assigned to the person voted least-likely-to-win, the girl from district 12, he feels as if he's been slapped in the f...

The Siren

The Siren written by: Kiera Cass Genre(s): fantasy, fiction, and young adult Rate: 9/10 About the book: Kahlen is a young girl who is saved by the ocean after the boat she was on was destroyed. She then becomes a siren and is bound to serve the ocean for 90 years. After she has served her time, she can be set free and live a normal life forgetting about the time she was a siren. However, there are rules to her sentence as a siren and if she breaks them more time will be added. When she finds the love of her life, she breaks a rule. The ocean favors her the most out of all the sirens, so will she get time added or will the ocean set her free? Why I liked the book: The conflict was very well centered through out the whole book, things were added to the conflict that were reasonable making the book more of a page turner. The rules were simple and easy to follow. It gave a different point of view on sirens that I liked a lot, made them seem more human. A great sisterly bond that mad...
