The House on Mango Street
written by Sandra Cisneros
So.. another day another book, right? Normally I wouldn't read a classic novel because they put me to sleep. Crazy? I know. This book on the other hand was entertaining. For me it gave me an idea of what can bring people together and how much something little can impact a persons life.
This book encompassed many short stories that were brought together in order to form a bigger picture. Cisneros brings the life of a Latin American native to the eyes of many readers. Although her short stories make the novel seem like an easy read, Cisneros uses many similes and metaphors to help connect the audience. A life in poverty doesn't mean that we should be ungrateful or that we shouldn't enjoy the life that we are given to fulfill.

We All Looked Up
We All Looked Up
by Tommy Wallach
This book was not your typical, twenty-first century love story. The one thing that kept me interested in this novel was the fact that it was so different in comparison to most of the gooey love stories I normally find myself interested in. In a way this book compared was a rearranged version of "The Breakfast Club". Very inspiring, yet innovated story line that every high school alumni will connect to.

This novel was a sequel to The Perfectionist and I have to say that it was worth continuing. Not only did the suspense continue, but the ending was not-so-typical. No... I'm not going to spoil it for you, but just know its worth it.
The book continues with the five high school girls and their high school enemies being murdered the exact way they discussed in their oh-so-boring film studies class. I would love to discuss more in detail, but you're going to have to let Shepard's words and your imagination do that part for you.
Happy Reading!

I fell in love with this book within the first two pages, and as a young reader that's not easy to do. Rowell captures the life of a growing, young adult once more. Not only does she create mesmerizing connection between all characters throughout the novel, but she also allows room for fan fiction to play a significant roll as well. Very clever!
Five star novel; a page turner.
