The Bees Knees

 Hello everyone! My review this month is on  Turtles All the Way Down  by John Green. It was a christmas gift and it is one of my favorite realistic fiction novels so far. The book's protagonist, Aza Holmes, has OCD and struggles with "thought spirals", which are essentially her getting stuck in her own thoughts and being unable to escape them. While she battles with an unrealistic obsession over a very rare stomach disease  C. diff , she ends up drinking sanitizer after kissing someone just so she can feel clean. She regularly doesn't feel normal and is insecure, often believing that even her best friend doesn't like her. She falls in love with her childhood friend, Davis Pickett, whose billionaire father recently disappeared. However, the combination of her mental health issues in addition to Davis's stress over his father makes it difficult. Towards the end of the story, Aza and Davis both experience their own traumatic and life-changing event, causing Aza ...

If you have other things, you need to be doing and you’ve been taking a “break” for the past hour, it’s pro...

 I got quite a few books over winter break and have already read most of them! I decided to rank them and give recommendations on which ones I think are the best. 1. Death Note Death Note is about an extremely smart high school senior, who is bored with his life. Light Yagami, the protagonist, then finds a notebook that simply has the words "Death Note" on the cover. He picks it up and when he gets home, he opens it to find rules on it. It says that if you write someone's first and last name in the book, the person will die in sixty seconds from a heart attack. This leads Light to start writing criminals' names in the book, which makes the police force start suspecting that someone is magically murdering them. It turns into a police chase, with Light working alongside the police as a "detective" on the case. This manga was extremely interesting and an amazing read. I got the entire set and blew through them so fast. I watched the anime first and it was such ...
