I learned a lot of new things about baseball.

The tale of the redemption of a sociopath through the power of love and protecting children.

Cool! They dropped the flag so early.

This book was both heartwarming and heartbreaking with a touch of humor. The book is about a kid’s mom, who gets deported one day while he’s at school. But just to add to the drama, he loses a friend, has to take care of his little siblings alone, and tries to be elected school president. It’s an amazing book, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who has ever felt alone.

Gorier and better than the movie. The plot line with his wife seeking affirmation from her rich summer crowd and Matthew seemed unnecessary. I like a good monster book. As a bonus I read this book at the beach while sitting in a chair in the water for added effect.

Got hooked on the Tracy Crosswhite series this spring and I’ve just about finished all of them. We all knew there was something off about the domestic violence/self defense claim with the beginning case, that lady turned out to be a psycho :( The case of Kimi was so unbearable tragic. No spoilers but man...the reveal of how she died may be one of the more messed up murders in this detective series. Kimi did not deserve any of that!!!!

I enjoyed it, but I almost felt like Sweetie was too perfect--Ashish was a good, kind person, but he also had some flaws which made him feel more real/natural, whereas Sweetie was presented as an almost perfect person which took me out of the experience. Plus, there were moments where Ashish's romantic feelings felt a bit too intense (as in, the way that Menon described it felt a bit sacchrine). Lastly, I wish Ashish's basketball issue (his lack of balltopia) had more time on the page since the only time it ends up really being mentioned is when they play HORSE and it turns into making out and then at the end when he finds balltopia again (although it's not clear if it was just a coincidence or what)

I learned the origins of the Lego creators.

I like this book because of the hay and the song.

I liked the pirate theme!
