Reviews of My Top Reads

Adult

Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I gave this book 5 stars because of how unique it is from the books I typically read. It was science fiction, with time travel and all, but it was more of a story of life and the connectedness we all share. I really enjoyed getting to know all of the characters, following them through time, and finding their connections. It was a little confusing at timees-there are so many characters to keep straight- but Mandel writes in a way that draws you in and keeps you reading, even through confusion.

Young Adult

They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“You didn’t just keep me alive, you made me live.”

What. A. Book.

I couldn’t put this book down from the moment I started. It’s a book that makes you fall in love, that makes you question, and inspires you.

What a fantastic graphic memoir about all parts of middle school life and finding yourself. I thank the author, Misty Wilson, for sharing this book with me and the Lit Review Crew. This book will be a popular one in my classroom, but also an important one!

Picture Book

The 1619 Project: Born on the Water by Nikole Hannah-Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an enlightening and powerful picture book. The history and stories told through this book are important and accessible to many readers. The illustrations were absolutely powerful-the light and dark elements, the detail, brought this story to life. It’s a must read.
