Book Review: the sun is also a star Nicola Yoon

The Sun Is Also a StarThe Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

January 10- Febuary 22

Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story.

Daniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store—for both of us.

The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?

Review : This book was beautiful I loved Everything , Everything and I loved this book
Natasha’s family is being deported and Natasha’s working her hardest to have that not happen Daniel is a poet his family wants him to go to Harvard and be a doctor they both meet and talk and spend some time with each other I love Daniel he’s caring a good poet and he cares for Natasha . They end up making out Natasha meets Daniel’s family . Daniel’s brother is a fucking asshole he treats Daniel like crap . Natasha and Daniel part way they fight cause Natasha tells him that she’s being deported but Natasha wants to see Daniel she finds a lawer who might be able to help . She gets Daniel’s number after Daniel and his brother got in a fist fight they meet back up go up to a roof and kiss and Daniel goes to his college interview which turns out is the same Lawer and he couldn’t stop her deportation they have to leave Daniel goes to her house with her .Years pass they grow apart until they meet again on a plane I loved this book so much one of my new favorites .

Quotes :
Natasha is different . She believes in determinism —- cause and effect . One action leads to another leads to another . Your actions determine your fate .
In this way she’s not unlike Daniel’s dad .
Daniel lives in the nebulous space in between . Maybe he wasn’t meant to meet Natasha today. Maybe it was random chance after all .
But.
Once they met , the rest of it , the love between them , was inevitable

“Maybe part of falling in love with someone else is also falling in love with yourself.”

“Stars are important,” I say, laughing.

“Sure, but why not more poems about the sun? The sun is also a star, and it’s our most important one. That alone should be worth a poem or two.”

“We have big, beautiful brains. We invent things that fly. Fly. We write poetry. You probably hate poetry, but it’s hard to argue with ‘Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate’ in terms of sheer beauty. We are capable of big lives. A big history. Why settle? Why choose the practical thing, the mundane thing? We are born to dream and make the things we dream about.”

Observable Fact: I don’t believe in magic.
Observable Fact: We are magic.

Book Review: Furiously happy a funny book about horrible things Jenny Lawson

Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible ThingsFuriously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book review : Furiously happy by jenny lawson December 20-24

In LET’S PRETEND THIS NEVER HAPPENED, Jenny Lawson baffled readers with stories about growing up the daughter of a taxidermist. In her new book, FURIOUSLY HAPPY, Jenny explores her lifelong battle with mental illness. A hysterical, ridiculous book about crippling depression and anxiety? That sounds like a terrible idea. And terrible ideas are what Jenny does best.

According to Jenny: “Some people might think that being ‘furiously happy’ is just an excuse to be stupid and irresponsible and invite a herd of kangaroos over to your house without telling your husband first because you suspect he would say no since he’s never particularly liked kangaroos. And that would be ridiculous because no one would invite a herd of kangaroos into their house. Two is the limit. I speak from personal experience. My husband says that none is the new limit. I say he should have been clearer about that before I rented all those kangaroos.”

“Most of my favorite people are dangerously fucked-up but you’d never guess because we’ve learned to bare it so honestly that it becomes the new normal. Like John Hughes wrote in The Breakfast Club, ‘We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it.’ Except go back and cross out the word ‘hiding.'”

Jenny’s first book, LET’S PRETEND THIS NEVER HAPPENED, was ostensibly about family, but deep down it was about celebrating your own weirdness. FURIOUSLY HAPPY is a book about mental illness, but under the surface it’s about embracing joy in fantastic and outrageous ways-and who doesn’t need a bit more of that?
Review : I loved this book I loved the way Jenny talked about living with anxiety and depression I read this with the audiobook it was so funny and relate able I’ve had anxiety since I was 11 or 12 . And reading this book made me see that I’m not alone others have the same or different problems as me . I highly recommend reading this book if you have anxiety or just want to understand it . She talks about being married and having a daughter and other crazy things that have happened to her and when she talks about things that could happen in her head I’m like I totally understand .
Quotes
i’m alergic to latex and it makes me break out in a rash so most condoms are out for me because the last thing any of us want is a vagina rash . The alternative is the ones made out of sheepskin , but it always creeps me out because does that mean Victor and I are having sex with a sheep ? A dead sheep , actually . So bestiality and necrophilia . And a three way ,I think . I actually mentioned this to Victor and he immediately booked a vasectomy , which is sweet because it’s nice he cares about me . He claimed it was less his caring and more ” Id rather have my nuts cut off than have to listen to you talk about having three ways with dead sheep.

When you come out of the grips of a depression there is an incredible relief, but not one you feel allowed to celebrate. Instead, the feeling of victory is replaced with anxiety that it will happen again, and with shame and vulnerability when you see how your illness affected your family, your work, everything left untouched while you struggled to survive. We come back to life thinner, paler, weaker … but as survivors. Survivors who don’t get pats on the back from coworkers who congratulate them on making it. Survivors who wake to more work than before because their friends and family are exhausted from helping them fight a battle they may not even understand. I hope to one day see a sea of people all wearing silver ribbons as a sign that they understand the secret battle, and as a celebration of the victories made each day as we individually pull ourselves up out of our foxholes to see our scars heal, and to remember what the sun looks like.”

Don’t sabotage yourself. There are plenty of other people willing to do that for free.”

Without the dark there isn’t light. Without the pain there is no relief. And I remind myself that I’m lucky to be able to feel such great sorrow, and also such great happiness. I can grab on to each moment of joy and live in those moments because I have seen the bright contrast from dark to light and back again. I am privileged to be able to recognize that the sound of laughter is a blessing and a song, and to realize that the bright hours spent with my family and friends are extraordinary treasures to be saved, because those same moments are a medicine, a balm. Those moments are a promise that life is worth fighting for, and that promise is what pulls me through when depression distorts reality and tries to convince me otherwise.”

Last month, as Victor drove me home so I could rest, I told him that sometimes I felt like his life would be easier without me. He paused a moment in thought and then said, “It might be easier. But it wouldn’t be better.”

I can tell you that “Just cheer up” is almost universally looked at as the most unhelpful depression cure ever. It’s pretty much the equivalent of telling someone who just had their legs amputated to “just walk it off.” Some people don’t understand that for a lot of us, mental illness is a severe chemical imbalance rather just having “a case of the Mondays.” Those same well-meaning people will tell me that I’m keeping myself from recovering because I really “just need to cheer up and smile.” That’s when I consider chopping off their arms and then blaming them for not picking up their severed arms so they can take them to the hospital to get reattached.”

most of my favorite people are dangerously fucked up but you’d never guess it because we’ve either become adept at hiding it or we’ve learned to bare it so honestly that it becomes the new normal. There’s a quote from The Breakfast Club that goes “We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it.” I have it on a poster but I took a Sharpie to it and scratched out the word “hiding” because it reminds me that there’s a certain pride and freedom that comes from wearing your unique bizarreness like a badge of honor.”

Book Review: More happy than not adam silvera

More Happy Than Not

More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

August 14-22

In the months after his father’s suicide, it’s been tough for 16-year-old Aaron Soto to find happiness again–but he’s still gunning for it. With the support of his girlfriend Genevieve and his overworked mom, he’s slowly remembering what that might feel like. But grief and the smile-shaped scar on his wrist prevent him from forgetting completely. When Genevieve leaves for a couple of weeks, Aaron spends all his time hanging out with this new guy, Thomas. Aaron’s crew notices, and they’re not exactly thrilled. But Aaron can’t deny the happiness Thomas brings or how Thomas makes him feel safe from himself, despite the tensions their friendship is stirring with his girlfriend and friends. Since Aaron can’t stay away from Thomas or turn off his newfound feelings for him, he considers turning to the Leteo Institute’s revolutionary memory-alteration procedure to straighten himself out, even if it means forgetting who he truly is. Why does happiness have to be so hard?

Review : I loved this book it’s beautifully written . This is about Aaron who has been through a lot his father committed suicide . There is this new surgery going around called Leteo where they make you forget painful memories . When him and his friends are playing man hunt Aaron meets Thomas they get close fast . Aaron has a girlfriend he loves and they end up having sex she goes away on a trip to do some art . So he spends a lot of time with Thomas doesn’t spend as much time with his other “Friends ” I wouldn’t consider those people friends . Aaron admits to Thomas that he’s gay and then he starts to fall for Thomas but he tells Aaron that he straight which causes a rift between them him and his girlfriend break up and he wants to get the Leteo surgury and his mom lets him but he gets beat up by his ” friends ” and almost dies and then he remembers he already had the Leteo surgery to make himself straight again he was fooling around with this guy name colin but then collin gets his girlfriend pregnant and Aaron gets the surgery now he wants to get it again and now he’s having trouble making new memories .This book made me laugh and cry at the same time he lets go of Thomas he wants him to be happy hes says goodbye and he’s read to be more happy than not . I will read anything Adam silvera writes I loved this book so much cause it talked about being gay being depressed all things people can relate to .

Quotes : I look down at my crotch and say , You better do what you were made to do . So help me god , I will ruin you if you don’t . I will absolutely massacre you. Okay , Aaron, stop talking to your dick. And yourself.Genevieve opens the door in a sleeveless yellow shirt and bedroom eyes . Good conversation with your dick?

We all make mistakes . Every wrong I take is a mistake , but it’s a step in the right direction . If nothing else , it’s a step away from the wrong one .

Memories : Some can be sucker punching , other carry you forward ; some stay with you forever, other you forget on your own. You can’t really know which ones you’ll survive if you don’t stay on the battle field , bad times shooting at you like bullets . But if you’re lucky , you’ll have plenty of good times to shield you.
The boy with no direction taught me something unforgettable : Happiness comes again if you let it

March 9-May 11

Ollie and Moritz are best friends, but they can never meet. Ollie is allergic to electricity. Contact with it causes debilitating seizures. Moritz’s weak heart is kept pumping by an electronic pacemaker. If they ever did meet, Ollie would seize. But Moritz would die without his pacemaker. Both hermits from society, the boys develop a fierce bond through letters that become a lifeline during dark times—as Ollie loses his only friend, Liz, to the normalcy of high school and Moritz deals with a bully set on destroying him.

A story of impossible friendship and hope under strange circumstances, this debut is powerful, dark and humorous in equal measure. These extraordinary voices bring readers into the hearts and minds of two special boys who, like many teens, are just waiting for their moment to shine

Book Review : we are the ants Shaun David Hutchinson

We Are the AntsWe Are the Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

April 7 – 18

There are a few things Henry Denton knows, and a few things he doesn’t.

Henry knows that his mom is struggling to keep the family together, and coping by chain-smoking cigarettes. He knows that his older brother is a college dropout with a pregnant girlfriend. He knows that he is slowly losing his grandmother to Alzheimer’s. And he knows that his boyfriend committed suicide last year.

What Henry doesn’t know is why the aliens chose to abduct him when he was thirteen, and he doesn’t know why they continue to steal him from his bed and take him aboard their ship. He doesn’t know why the world is going to end or why the aliens have offered him the opportunity to avert the impending disaster by pressing a big red button.

But they have. And they’ve only given him 144 days to make up his mind.

The question is whether Henry thinks the world is worth saving. That is, until he meets Diego Vega, an artist with a secret past who forces Henry to question his beliefs, his place in the universe, and whether any of it really matters. But before Henry can save the world, he’s got to figure out how to save himself, and the aliens haven’t given him a button for that.

Review – I loved this book it was beautifully written and it has amazing characters .

Henry was attacked in the shower at school and he knows it was Marcus and he doesn’t want to tell .

Audrey and Henry use to be friends but when Jesse died there was a rift between them when she just left but she ended up going to a hospital but never told Henry . on thanksgiving Henry goes over to Diego’s and they have a BBQ and they end up kissing and then he was taken by the aliens again this book was beautiful it made me laugh and it made me cry so many times . Henry finds out why Diego was sent to live with his sister his father was abusive and so he took out his anger out back on him and was sent to juvi . On new years Henry and Charlie throw a party and Diego and Henry start making out and then some but they are stopped when there is something wrong with Zoe there was a lot of blood and she ends up loosing the baby . Henry and Diego “Break up” he goes to the winter fair with Audrey and he sees Diego’s painting of him and then he runs away and he’s crying and he runs into Marcus and he attacks Henry and tries to rape him but Henry gets away when Diego finds out he punches Marcus and Henry checks himself into a place to get better with his grief when he gets out he goes to Charlie’s wedding and then Diego’s back they kiss he didn’t press the button who knows what will happen I loved this book so much so beautiful.
Favorite Quotes:
Dreams are hopeful because they exist as pure possibility unlike memories , which are fossils long dead and buried deep.
page 136

There’s an amazing world out there for you to discover, Henry Denton , but you have to be willing to discover yourself first .
The bell rang , saving me and we all rose like pavlivian dogs , eager to run to our next classes. Except Diego . He was still sitting , like he was waiting for me to say something, but I didn’t know what. Finally I said , what if I don’t give a shit about the world ?
Diego gathered out trash and frowned . I’d say that’s pretty fucking sad .
Why ?
Because the world is beautiful .
Page 99

The sluggers don’t always return me totally naked , but when they do , I assume it’s because it amuses them to watch me attempt to sneak from one end of calypso to the other without being arrested for indecent exposure .
page 18

that’s the problem with memories : you can visit them , but you can’t live in them”

Dreams are hopeful because they exist as pure possibility unlike memories , which are fossils long dead and buried deep”

because sometimes it’s easier to start over with a clean slate than drag the baggage of your past with you wherever you go.”

“We may not get to choose how we die, but we can chose how we live. The universe may forget us, but it doesn’t matter. Because we are the ants, and we’ll keep marching on.”

We remember the past, live in the present, and write the future.”

April 18-18

FIGHTING THE BLIGHT

After the near disaster with Bishamon, Yato takes Yukine and retreats. Hiyori finds Yato in bad shape as his blight reaches a critical level. Yukine continues to torture his master with his bad behavior, causing the blight to worsen and even threaten the god’s life. Hiyori tries to desperately find someone to help Yato. Can any of Yato’s few friends save him? Does the stray god even have friends?

Review- This one is my favorite so far we learn about stray’s which are like shinki but with many masters . Yato still has a blight but it’s coming from Yukine every time he does something bad Yato feels it and if he doesn’t get it fixed he’s going to die. And Yato is close to death when Hiyori goes to get help from kofuka and daikoku two other Shinki help and they fix the problem Hiyori saved them awesome continuation .

FORTUNE BineE WITH YOU

A run-in with Yato the stray god has turned Hiyori Iki, an ordinary, pro-wrestling-loving middle school girl, into an existence that is neither human nor ayakashi! It’s up to Yato’s “divine intervention” to turn Hiyori back to normal, but can Hiyori rely on the spontaneous and wayward Yato to do his job properly? What’s more, the almighty warrior god Bishamonten has sworn revenge on Yato?!

Review- I’m loving this series it just gets better and better in this one Yukine is starting to steal things and Yato feels it . We meet Yato’s girlfriend who is kind of a idiot and her shinki she’s the god of fortune. Hiyori still has her problem that she falls out of her body and Yato has yet to fix it . We learn anyone who wanted to die can’t be a shinki which means they didn’t want to die . Then there is the war god Bishamoten who wants to kill Yato cause he killed her shinki so Hiyori goes to get Kouku and Daikoku help which creates a giant hole in the forest this one was crazy I love this series can’t wait to see what happens next.

Kill the Boy Band by Goldy Moldavsky
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
verdict : Skip it
March 7 – 14
Okay, so just know from the start that it wasn’t supposed to go like this. All we wanted was to get near The Ruperts, our favorite boy band.

We didn’t mean to kidnap one of the guys. It kind of, sort of happened that way. But now he’s tied up in our hotel room. And the worst part of all, it’s Rupert P. All four members of The Ruperts might have the same first name, but they couldn’t be more different. And Rupert P. is the biggest flop out of the whole group.

We didn’t mean to hold hostage a member of The Ruperts, I swear. At least, I didn’t I . We are fans. Okay, superfans who spend all of our free time tweeting about the boys and updating our fan tumblrs. But so what, that’s what you do when you love a group so much it hurts.

Review- Sloane and her friends are big fans of the Ruperts when they are having this big thanksgiving concert they didn’t get tickets but they got rooms in the hotel in hope to see the boys but then it goes bad when they end up holding one of the boys hostage the one that no one likes cause he’s a jerk and he can’t sing . Sloane wants to let him go but the others have other motives . Her best friend is keeping things from her they get access to his phone and we find out Rupert P is gay . Erin slept with one of the Rupert’s and she wants to get back at them and turn them into nothing . Sloane goes on the roof to get some space and there she meets Rupert K her favorite they end up talking and when she gets back Rupert P is dead I liked this book it was enjoyable and fun to read she meets up with Rupert K again they talk then they kiss which was cute . But so much happens in this book Isabelle tweets that he quit the band they move the body into the boys room and the other Rupert throw the body which gets them jail time and Rupert k ended writing a solo about Sloane but it wasn’t her real name which I didn’t see coming Rupert P “Girlfriend” ending up killing Rupert P which I’m not surprised . In the end this book was so so for me I liked it but didn’t love it .
Quotes-“Because the truth is, it isn’t worth loving something if you aren’t going to love it all the way

“Happiness isn’t always easy,” he’d said. “But it’s a priority.”

“They just want to be part of the moment. A moment that’s much larger than them, and even larger than us.”

Book Review: Everything Everything Nicole Yoon

Everything, EverythingEverything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

December 29- January 19

My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I’m allergic to the world. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla.

But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He’s tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly.

Maybe we can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster.

Review- This book was beautiful . This is about Maddy who is allergic to the world she can’t go outside but when a new neighbor moves next door everything changes his name is Olly he has a tough home life his dad is a drunk and abuses his family . So they start messaging each other she wants to meet Olly and she finds a way how I love the way they talk to each other Olly is adorable he wears all black clothing and loves jumping and moving his body they start to fall for each other then end up kissing . one night Olly’s father is beating up Olly she freaks and goes outside her mom freaks . And her mom takes away the computer so they have problems contacting each other . Maddy leaves her house and goes to Olly they decide to go on a trip Hawaii she told him she had pills so they leave and go there and they swim they eat she loves him he loves her they have a very intimate moment oh my god :O and then Maddy gets sick she goes back home she tells him that there wasn’t pills and she ends the talking with Olly even though she misses him but when she gets an email telling her she was never sick she starts to suspect and she finds out she was never sick her mom lied to her . Maddy’s mom went though a lot when her husband and son were killed and she never healed . Maddy goes to NYC to go to Olly and the scene in the bookstore so cute I loved this book beautiful writing so amazing .
Quotes-Love is worth everything. Everything.”

Sometimes I reread my favorite books from back to front. I start with the last chapter and read backward until I get to the beginning. When you read this way, characters go from hope to despair, from self-knowledge to doubt. In love stories, couples start out as lovers and end as strangers. Coming-of-age books become stories of losing your way. Your favorite characters come back to life.”

I read once that, on average, we replace the majority of our cells every seven years. Even more amazing: we change the upper layers of our skin every two weeks. If all the cells in our body did this, we’d be immortal. But some of our cells, like the ones in our brains, don’t renew. They age, and age us. In two weeks my skin will have no memory of Olly’s hand on mine, but my brain will remember. We can have immortality or the memory of touch. But we can’t have both.

You can’t predict the future. It turns out that you can’t predict the past either. Time moves in both directions – forward and backward – and what happens here and now changes them both.”

Book Review: Blue Exorcist kazue Kato

Blue Exorcist, Vol. 2Blue Exorcist, Vol. 2 by Kazue Kato
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

December 29-31

Shocked by the death of his foster father and the revelation that his real father is the demon Lord Satan, Rin Okumura enters the True Cross Academy to learn to be an exorcist. But every great exorcist has to start somewhere, and for the students of the academy the first step is the Exwire examination. To prepare for the exam, the new pages in Yukio’s class must undergo intensive training. Rin and his classmates have their hands full when a demon appears, but is this a test or something more sinister?

Review – I loved this vol this one introduced new character a lot of of action and it was so good and there was twists and turns I love the new characters there so interesting and I love rin he’s so adorable for a demon.
