A Long Way To A Small Angry Planet
by Becky Chambers
View in Library Catalog
This book was a little absurd. I don't typically read sci-fi that involves an entirely new universe and various alien creatures, so maybe it's just not for me. However, I did enjoy many aspects of this story. Chambers created an entire universe with new creatures, social structures, and cultures. From a sociological perspective, it was fascinating. The relationships between the characters were definitely the most intriguing part of this book. The plot itself left a lot to be desired. It truly was about the journey and not the destination. If you enjoy world building and escaping into complex relationships between various species, then this book is for you. However, if you like an adventure story driven more by plot, you may want to look elsewhere.

House Rules
by Jodi Picoult
View in Library Catalog
Another gem by Jodi Picoult. In this book she brings to light the day to day life and struggles that families living with children who have Asperger's syndrome experience. She then takes it to another level when the main character (an 18 year old with Asperger's) is charged with the murder of his social skills tutor. His younger brother is also involved and the reader does not find out what actually happened that day until the very end of the book. Although I was still left with questions that I wish could have been answered after the final page I would definitely recommend this book. As usual Picoult brings to light insights into an often unexplored topic and is able to weave into the story opportunities for self reflection and introspection.

Golden in Death
by J.D. Robb
View in Library Catalog
I'm a big fan of this series based on the character Eve Dallas. This is a complicated story of the murder of 2 people who seem to have no connection to each other. The search for the solution of the mystery leads back to a posh boys high school to determine whether these crimes are terrorist or revenge driven. I recommend it as I found it difficult to put the book down.
Girl In Reverse
by Barbara Stuber
View in Library Catalog
I recommend this book. It is set in the 1950's and is about a Chinese girl adopted at 3 years old into a white family. The story is told from the point of view of the girl and is about her struggle to fit in. There is prejudice that she has to deal with. It was interesting and I enjoyed it.

Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban
by J.k. Rowling
View in Library Catalog
This book was my favorite harry Potter book so far. I love the mystery of who is Sirius Black. I love how every chapter is useful. I also wish that Peter Pettigrew was nice. ( SPOILER). I also like the (another Spoiler) that Sirius Black is harry´s godfather. It is full of interesting things to me in is yet again another great book. But do not skip this book because this book comes in handy in the others. I hope you like my book report.
