Review: Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas (Spoiler Alert)
** spoiler alert ** ' Things are changing,' Manon said.
'Good,' Asterin said. 'We're immortals. Things should change, and often, or they'll get boring.'
I finished this book hours ago. HOURS. And I've just spent them distracting myself from having to write this review. I just have so many feelings, yet so little a grasp on how to communicate them.
I cannot BELIEVE the scope of this series. How much has changed since book one, and how much was foreshadowed/connects to boo

Review: Ghost by Jason Reynolds (Spoiler-Free)
The overwhelming thought I had while reading this was: I'm so glad that kids are reading this.
Obviously, I still adored this from the perspective of someone older than the target audience, but I can't even imagine how much kids today must cherish these books. Even for kids who can't relate to Ghost's home life, his voice is so undeniably relatable to any kid reading.

Review: Small Fry by Lisa Brennan-Jobs
I'm still in awe of how honest and unbiased this memoir managed to be. Nothing was glorified or spun in the author (or her father's!) favor. People say Steve Jobs was a genius and therefore must be admired, and others say he was a terrible father and shouldn't be praised. Lisa Brennan-Jobs shows us how he was a little bit of both. How his genius and his communication skills acted inversely.
I would definitely recommend giving this one a go and seeing Jobs through a new lens
