    As usual, Jeff Kinney succeeds in releasing another relatable, humorous, and entertaining book. Despite the laid back nature the book tends to have, it was definitely a piece of writing that did not lack any of the classical techniques including descriptions. When Greg was spending his time with the other boys in the cabin, I could see myself standing in the cramped space, foul odors drifting around me, and the chatter of the loud boys. It was all so vivid, and the pictures were crazy good as always. Usually, I feel that the books written by Jeff Kinney are very predictable, but this time, the author did not take his usual path. Instead, I found myself being surprised by something at the end. Did not see it coming, but that may be the reason why Old School was so amazing!

    I love fairytale twists, and this is probably my most favorite book with one! It is set in a futuristic world, where Cinder is a cyborg who works for her evil stepmother and stepsister. Soon, she meets the crown prince of China, Prince Kai, which sets her off on a thrilling adventure. Not only that, but there is a disease devastating the entire world and moon people who are very evil. There are many twists and turns that you won't be able to foresee, which makes this book such a great read!

    National Geographic are always the best non-fiction books, and it would be nice to expand my knowledge!

    I have yet to read this book, but if I can ever get my hands on it, I would definitely be overjoyed. I've read many of Raina Telgemeir's books including, Sisters, Smile, and Drama. All of them were amazing, with great humor, amazing plot lines, and beautiful illustrations. I have high hopes for Ghosts. The book is calling my name.

    candyexpress's book review was featured in Cinder: Book One in the Lunar Chronicles.
    If I spent at least 3 months anazlying this book inside and out, pulling out quotes, finding the hidden meaning of each sentence, write numerous essays for school, and still find this book interesting, that means this story will not be waste of your time. I've read plenty of books and a numerous amount of them were twists on the classical fairy tales, just like Cinder. What differentiated Cinder from all the other books was its unique plot-line. It is a modernized version of Cinderella, but so many aspects about this book make it so much more different (and if I do say so myself, much better) than the classic tale. One thing I would love to point out is the main character, Cinder. Her personality is something between brave and outgoing, and I always love a hearty and confident main character. It's also nice to see that Cinder is not the stereotypical girl that finds interest in shoes and fashion (which isn't a problem in any way), but instead she is a mechanic who takes great interest in how things work, repairing technological devices, etc. Another thing that I couldn't help but admire Marissa Meyer for was her ability to create so many paths, twists, and curves in the story. One page you might think that you know exactly how the story will unravel, but in just three more sentences, you might find yourself reconsidering your beliefs. How can you not love a book that does that to you? Every single one of the events is a puzzle piece to the greater picture, and when you get to the end, you can't help but ask yourself, "How does anybody think of that many plot twists?" In its unique way, Cinder was its own mystery novel. Cinder was such a pure and well-written book that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Join the TLC (The Lunar Chronicles) Fandom!!!

    candyexpress's book review was featured in Smile.
    Before I can say anything, I need to address the AMAZING illustrations in this book. 10 out 10 for sure. The pictures were all very appealing, colorful, playful, adding to the beautiful quality of this book. I loved the story of this graphic novel. I've definitely read my share of graphic novels, and Smile was not a disappointment. Rain Telgemeier succeeds in making this book relatable and very realistic. One thing I hate about books is when all the characters and events that occur seem too far-stretched and very unlikely, but Smile was the complete opposite. Any teenager can relate. Just another thing I want to applause the author on is her ability to describe the pain of braces ever so accurately (first-hand experience and they're terrible -___-).
