Black Swan
by Nassim Taleb




This book is so well-written and intelligent. I have to read it slowly and carefully to fully understand the importance of what is being said by the author as it is counter all of the 'patterned behavior' type of thinking we are taught. I like how he weaves personal stories in with dense financial topics to make a really memorable lesson. I am planning to read the rest of his books as well.Great author.
Indoor Grilling
by Dwayne Ridgaway




This book is all about indoor grilling. The recipes have pictures which is a plus. But I find it to be an ordinary cookbook with lots of fried food and fancy presentation. Basically, get a cast iron pan with grill ridges and grill away! I find myself going back to my outdoor grilling cookbooks. It was a cute read and I did enjoy the pictures.
How It Feels to Float
by Helena Fox




My professor gave me her advance reader's copy on the last day of classes of the semester, but I didn't start reading it until the summer, lying by the pool and finding my mood matched the protagonist's. Fox tells the story a high school upperclassman, Biz, living with mental illness, figuring out her friendships and using photography to piece together the history of her father's suicide. Fox's language is beautiful, and she clearly enjoys crafting specific sounds and images for the reader; it did feel overwrought at times, but in a way I enjoyed reading. Some sentences were worth returning to just for that. Fox drew me into Biz's mind so well that I was totally engrossed and trusting, and I ended up learning plot points at the same rate that Biz did. That said, though the plot does move forward and didn't feel "slow" at all, we do spend a lot of time in Biz's head and in her characterization. Overall, this is a beautiful and artful book whose buildup of mood will stick with me.
Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Book 1
by Jeff Kinney




I am 8 years old and I have been reading this series over and over for 4 years! However they are not a challenge or a deep read they are just clever and happy. I chose to write a review on this one because it is my favorite but that applies to all the books. I was lucky enough to have the author visit my school 2 years ago and he said some people don't like his books because they are not deep enough. As much as reading a deep and challenging story is important what is wrong with something light and funny once and a while. I think that reading is reading and these books will put a smile on your face and there is nothing wrong with that, not only that, they very clever and they have a true story line aside to being silly! I highly recommend for kids 7-12 (or any age above 12 if you eat to read a good laugh out loud story) :) :) :)
Warcross
by Marie Lu




I definitely read through this too quickly but I stayed thinking about it for a few days after. It’s a fun and familiar YA scifi genre involving a virtual reality video game that’s become ubiquitous. The main character’s voice was a bit hard to get into at first (maybe it felt too on-the-nose? But upon reflection, maybe that *is* realistic), but then everything started flowing soon after. I saw the twist coming early on, but that didn’t take away from the enjoyment of getting to know the characters as they grew, and Lu took care with creating a diverse set of characters that made everything even more interesting. The battle and coding scenes were really fun to read, and the book calls for a sequel.
