It's your Ship
by Michael Abrashoff

View in Library Catalog



It’s Your Ship by Captain D. Michael Abrashoff is about how his ship USS Benfold became the best ship in the navy. He discussed the leadership tactics and lessons he taught his men and women on his ship and what he learned from others. Abrashoff touches upon a new way of leadership each chapter. First, he says how to take command without being too bossy and bring down your team rather than tell them what they did wrong and how they can fix it. Next, he explains how his sailors have now learned with his leadership how to take action on their own. To take responsibility for the ship like it’s their own and then you see how everything works better, especially when people then get confident enough to then share ideas to make everything better. Abrashoff talks about how he leads by example and why that's important. He explains how one no is going to want to work and do their best when their boss doesn't care or do any work. It's important to lead by example because others will then want to follow your footsteps to be successful too. Also he tells readers that it’s important to communicate with your team. Communication is the number one thing that runs a great business. When you address your team and talk to them and tell the truth, everyone can be on the same page and work as a team and get the job done. The Captain shares that most of his lessons he learned and that he shares are from Defense Secretary William Perry. How he was one of his biggest role models and whatnot. I would recommend this book because it teaches you good lessons about how to be a good leader and to be a part of a team and how to work towards one central goal. This book was interesting to read and it opened my eyes to new ideas of leadership.

The book 'Guts' by Raina Teglemeier is an autobiographical graphic novel. The main character of the book is a girl named Raina who wakes up with a terrible stomachache one day.

In the end, Raina Telgemeier again ends a hilarious story about growing up and conquering her fears.

Cruel Beauty
by Rosamund Hodge

View in Library Catalog



This novel is essentially a "Beauty and the Beast"-esque tale that follows Nyx, a girl who must marry a malevolent ruler. I overall was not intrigued or enthralled by this story. In fact, this book is probably my least favorite retelling of the classic fairy tale. One thing that I was not particularly fond of in this fantasy was the chaotic, topsy-turvy descriptions of pretty much everything from the setting to objects. The overly detailed elucidations of the magical world made the novel confusing as a whole. However, this book was not insipid as I was able to plough through it, regardless.

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince
by J.K. Rowling

View in Library Catalog



"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is the sixth installment in the "Harry Potter" series. In this novel, readers will be able to unearth the identity of the half-blood prince. Furthermore, this book dives in to the character of Draco Malfoy, the coined bully, who appears to be going through an arduous time. While the atmosphere and tone of this book is prodigiously odious, the book also covers a more light-hearted aspect by manifesting teenage love. This book is probably my favorite novel in the series simply because readers will be able to procure more knowledge on each of the characters. I unreservedly recommend this to anyone who is fond of the romance genre!
