The Sun Is Also a Star


The Sun Is Also a Star written by: Nicola Yoon
Genre(s): Romance, Young adult, Contemporary, and Fiction
Rate: 10/10
About the book: Natasha is having trouble figuring out how she can save herself and her family from getting deported from America relaying strictly on facts. Daniel is having trouble trying to make his parents proud of him relaying strictly on love and fate. When the two run into each other he is determined to prove her wrong about love and fate. They spend the whole day together learning more about the people around them and each other. But will she ever fall for him? Will it be too late if she does? Can she sort out her families dilemma on time? 
Why I liked the book: It was fast paced and the chapters were short and to the point. It gave side notes about some of the characters who weren't the main characters giving you insights about why they acted a certain way. It wasn't just about two people getting to know each other, it was about them finding what they believe in and who they are.

Fun facts:

  • Nicola is working on turning this book into a movie for the year 2019!
  • She is also the author for "Everything Everything".

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.
