Written In The Stars
by Aisha Saeed

View in Library Catalog



"Written In The Stars" follows Naila, a girl who becomes a victim of forced marriage. This book is unreservedly heartbreaking. However, in my opinion, it has a few plot holes. Overall, I don't recommend this book.

Of Mice And Men
by John Steinbeck

View in Library Catalog



While I think that this novel is historically significant, I am not particularly fond of it. Taking place during the Great Depression, the two main characters, Lenny and George, work on a ranch to one day procure their dream life. This book discusses the blazing idea of the Ämerican dream. In general, I think that this book is boring and monotonous. I was not intrigued by the plot and the characters were plain. However, if you are fond of classic novels, I recommend this novel!

This book contains a prodigious array of poems written by Rumi, a poet. Each and every creation is beautifully crafted and encapsulates the feeling of love in an unreservedly splendid regard. I absolutely love the vivid imagery that accompanies the vigorous and robust lines. I indisputably recommend this to anyone looking to read sublime poems about feelings of endearment.

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 Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins

View in Library Catalog



This dystopian novel features a society that is divided into twelve distinct districts. The Capitol of Panem is an appalling regime that comprises of the affluent and powerful. These rich and corrupt people seek pleasure by hosting a heinous event known as the "Hunger Games" in which two people from each district are randomly selected. The Hunger Games is essentially a tournament in which people must survive and eschew death. There are different terrains and a multitudinous array of obstacles that the Capitol presents in order to present a challenge. Ultimately, there will be one survivor. The novel follows Katniss Everdeen, a pertinacious and headstrong girl who must undergo the appalling experience. I absolutely love everything about this book; it is unequivocally a page-turner. Each character is marvelously crafted. My favorite is indubitably Peeta; his sweet and charming personality will make anyone adore him. This book further manifests how robustness, power, and wealth, can make people perform odious things. I recommend this novel to anyone who is a fan of dystopian novels!

Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
by J.K. Rowling

View in Library Catalog



"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is the fourth installment in the "Harry Potter" Series. Once again, readers will be able to follow Harry Potter as he endures another unprecedented year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In this chaotic year, Harry is a candidate in the Triwizard Tournament. The Triwizard Tournament is an extravagent event in which three students from three distinct magical schools compete arduously to procure the grand prize. This book, as I like to call it, is the turning point in the series; this story unreservedly marks a change in tone and atmosphere. Where the earlier books catered to a younger audience by inaugurating a more whimsical atmosphere, this novel encapsulates an increasingly odious and sinister one. This book will indisputably make readers smile and burst into tears by the ends. Once again, recurring themes of family, friendship, and pertinacity are delineated. I recommend this book to anyone who is fond of the fantasy genre!
