| This is an interesting read about putting together a dictionary. Miura attempts to make it more interesting/relatable by adding bits about the editors lives, which are sweet and cute and involve a lot of ramen. The translator should get as much ...more | |

| I hesitate to judge memoirs too harshly. After all it is someone's life, someone's truth, and who am I to say they should feel or behave differently? However, I would say that I don't think Kelly and I would be friends. She has gone through some some ...more | |

| DNF. I loved the idea of a future where water becomes a commodity so precious that wars are started, corporations scheme for it, and speculation about stores of it get people killed. I often try to reason how much offensiveness I should tolerate to ...more | |

| This is a quick mystery/ thriller. The ending was a little obvious about halfway through, but it was still an intriguing narrative with an unreliable narrator, and plays on our own tendencies to judge situations quickly, especially in sexual ...more | |

| This mildly entertaining story about a shy girl who ends up becoming an active feminist not-so-subtly ticks off the major (and minor) arguments about feminism. What does it mean to be feminist? Should feminism be about seminars and education, or more ...more | |

| This is totally what you would think a collection of short stories from Tom Hanks would be. Fortunately (unfortunately). They are mostly feel-good stories that have hints of darkness, which he doesn't explore, but instead focuses on the optimism. My ...more | |

| Definitely one of the more well-thought out, well-told YA books I've read. Each voice is authentic and deals with the stresses of teens trying to fit in and the pressure they feel to succeed. If I guessed the ending, it's only because my daughter ...more | |
