How It Feels to Float
by Helena Fox
book cover


My professor gave me her advance reader's copy on the last day of classes of the semester, but I didn't start reading it until the summer, lying by the pool and finding my mood matched the protagonist's. Fox tells the story a high school upperclassman, Biz, living with mental illness, figuring out her friendships and using photography to piece together the history of her father's suicide. Fox's language is beautiful, and she clearly enjoys crafting specific sounds and images for the reader; it did feel overwrought at times, but in a way I enjoyed reading. Some sentences were worth returning to just for that. Fox drew me into Biz's mind so well that I was totally engrossed and trusting, and I ended up learning plot points at the same rate that Biz did. That said, though the plot does move forward and didn't feel "slow" at all, we do spend a lot of time in Biz's head and in her characterization. Overall, this is a beautiful and artful book whose buildup of mood will stick with me.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Book 1
by Jeff Kinney

I am 8 years old and I have been reading this series over and over for 4 years! However they are not a challenge or a deep read they are just clever and happy. I chose to write a review on this one because it is my favorite but that applies to all the books. I was lucky enough to have the author visit my school 2 years ago and he said some people don't like his books because they are not deep enough. As much as reading a deep and challenging story is important what is wrong with something light and funny once and a while. I think that reading is reading and these books will put a smile on your face and there is nothing wrong with that, not only that, they very clever and they have a true story line aside to being silly! I highly recommend for kids 7-12 (or any age above 12 if you eat to read a good laugh out loud story) :) :) :)

Easy read and one of my favorite childhood books.

Black Swan
by Nassim Taleb
book cover


This book is so well-written and intelligent. I have to read it slowly and carefully to fully understand the importance of what is being said by the author as it is counter all of the 'patterned behavior' type of thinking we are taught. I like how he weaves personal stories in with dense financial topics to make a really memorable lesson. I am planning to read the rest of his books as well.Great author.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Last Straw
by Jeff Kinney
book cover


This book is exactly what I have been looking for! I bought all of the books in the set for my little brother, for Christmas, and I couldn't be happier with my find. All of the books were in brand new condition and the prices were unbeatable. I decided I had to get my brother the whole set for Christmas, since they are the only books that he's ever taken an interest in. In fact, not only was he interested in them, he was absolutely enthralled! From start to finish, I think he only put book #1 down to sleep. So, I thought he just has to have the rest of them one, so that he'll keep going. I'm so glad that I found these books.
