 10 books I want to read based on my favorite series and genre


  1. Sunrise on The Reaping- Since the new Hunger book “Sunrise on The Reaping” came out, I have heard glowing reviews of the book. The new book will have a movie that will come out in the new year, and I want to read the book before the movie comes out.


  1. Atomic Habits: After reading a review of the book, and how it helped them learn sustainable changes. I also have a vivid memory of Mrs. Liamini read this book and recommended it to us.


  1. Becoming: Michelle Obama’s memoir is one of the books I really want to read, just because I can. The experiences and how her life changed as a First Lady, is something I would love to spend my time reading on.


  1. Crazy Rich Asians: One of my favorite movies ever making this book a book I NEED to read. The plot itself makes the movie amazing and imagine how the book would be. 


  1. The Kite Runner: I heard about the book, and how the book is very “hard hitting”


  1. Gone Girl: The manipulation in the book is something I have heard many things about. Like how toxic marriage and deception make it a book that you NEED to read. 


  1. The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo: Personally I love mystery/thriller books, which makes me more compelled to read. The themes of complexity and dark keeps me on my toes when reading. 

  2. Love and Other Words: I am a big fan of romance books, and I have heard really good things about how the nostalgic type of romance is amazing.


  1. The Da Vinci Code: The movie was a really big watch for me. The thriller was so good, so I will gladly read the book


  1. The Couple Next Door: Since I am obsessed with watching Desperate Housewives. Tis book has that feeling of the gossip spreading in a suburban.

  Dear Rupi Kaur, The first time I ever read one of your poems was the day I fell in love with your poetry. The 2 lines that started it all were “what is stronger than the human heart which shatters over and over and still lives.” I didn’t know how impactful these 2 lines were until I fully felt every single word. Ever since that day if a teacher would ever ask me to read some poetry I search up 3 words every time “Rupi Kaur Poems” and will spend it just reading the poems that you write. Your poems are so perfectly crafted that in just a few sentences you show a whole new meaning to such a simple thing. There are not a lot of poets in my life that give me goosebumps, but reading your poems makes that happen. Thank you for writing poems that mean so much to me. Thanks, Mehereen Kaur

I just wanna be young again  When we were younger we just wanted to be older Playing with our barbie dolls Watching PBS Kids Going outside to ride our bikes, drawing on the sidewalk with chalk, and jump roping Now all we can do is watch from our window  Watching our younger sibling  While secretly wishing we were outside I just wanna be young again   I just want my childhood back I could finally get some sleep I would not worry about grades, colleges, or homework I could watch TV without feeling guilty I would watch Disney shows to see what my life would be like if I did karate, lived in New York, or even record videos to help my younger brother I could watch Nick shows and dream that I was part of a family filled with superheroes, be part of a webcam show, or have two fairy godparents I would be able to have no regrets on having a nap I could be able to play with my toys I don't know why I even wished to be older I wanted to be messy with this poem but on the topic ...

When I was in 5th grade, our class read Wonder. We all sat on the carpet waiting patiently for our teacher to start the read aloud. This was the first encounter that I had with this specific point of view. Each chapter of the book was dedicated to one of the characters, and we would see through the eyes of that character. What fascinated me was why did the author choose to do this? As I got older I realized why? Olivia, Auggie's older sister, said “ August is the Sun. Me and Mom and Dad are planets orbiting the Sun. The rest of our family and friends are asteroids and comets floating around the planets orbiting the Sun.” I felt like the answer was so that the book didn’t just revolve around Auggie but so everyone had a moment to be revolved around. This was my first epiphany about point of view, that I will probably never forget.
