Evil spy school is the best!

3.75 stars rounded up. I find this book very hard to rate as much of the merit comes from its status as a classic. Mark Twain’s novel is full of adventure, boyhood mischief and depictions of the racist antebellum Southern US. I’m very familiar with the story and probably have the strongest memory of the Elijah Wood portrayal on film. There’s nostalgia that comes with taking that trip down the river with Huck and Jim and revisiting their stops along the way. Yet, during this reading, I was shocked at the preponderance of vernacular and ear-piercing slurs (specifically the n-word) that made it rather hard to listen to on audio. If this book were written today as historical fiction, I’d probably be rounding down the rating, but I can’t ignore where this text stands in history. Tom Parker’s narration felt rather fast-paced, but his voice felt authentic though his occasional vocal clicks stuck out a bit.

I live it because you can get a different point of view

I really liked the book because it was nice to read in bed and it felt funny and relaxing at the same time! I really liked how PANDANIA gave each of them a family that sort of enhanced their personality.

I read this book for a summer reading bingo (square: read two books with the same title). This is a very short YA book but has excellent representation of Tourette’s and a sweet friendship/romance. There’s some tough family dynamics and painful social meanness.

Everyone knows Dog Man IS GREAT

I enjoyed this short novel-in-verse penned by Arriel Vinson, one of Reese’s LitUp fellows. There are beautiful, poetic moments especially as Jae skates. I enjoyed the bit of a love story and how this book felt like a coming-of-age/maturation moment. I listened to the audiobook on Spotify

I haven’t gotten that far, I’m on chapter 4. It’s pretty good so far and definitely better than the movie. There is more information, as I would hope, and explains the characters more.

I like the book, it is funny and I enjoy reading Dav Pilkey books

Guys listen to me, I know this is volume 19 of a series you will probably never read but it needs be remarked that everytime an adventure shoujo series surpasses 15 volumes it suddenly picks up steam and is just eminently readable. This series is no exception, truly one of the best manga confessions and rejections I've read in a hot minute cause I just like all of these characters so much and they don't act out of character just for the plot to progress as so many manga. Snow White with the Red Hair & Yona of the Dawn supremacy forever!!
