Why Is This Night Different From All Other Nights? (All the Wrong Questions)

Why Is This Night Different From All Other Nights? (All the Wrong Questions)

By Lemony Snicket

I want to say first and foremost that there will never be another writer like Lemony Snicket. Therefore, there can never be another book like this one. Honestly. When reading, there's always an air of nostalgia, and you can't help but get invested in the book's cleverness. And I love the portrayal of gray areas and ideas of villains in the series. For example, in the end of the book, even though Snicket has successfully put down Hangfire, the villain's identity has connections and relationships that go deeper than perceived, and instead of being celebrated, Snicket is left. Alone. It's really refreshing to not just get a straightforward happy ending, that you smile and forget about, this book leaves you thinking. I first tried this series a couple of years earlier, and gave up on it because I got frustrated over how I felt like the writing was over my head. But now that I understand it better, I can really appreciate the cleverness and un-anti-climacticness. Wordplay, brain-racking theories, carefully crafted characters, the end to the backstory of the great Lemony Snicket.

By Marissa Meyer

I really like this book. It is awesome. The last story is the best. 😍. You should read the original series first though because there are some characters and events that you can find in the books that will make it make more sense.

Little Women

Little Women

By Louisa May Alcott

Little women is a book about 4 young women who are sisters. Jo (the adventurous one) cut her hair and did many things that were considered "not ladylike" at the time. Meg is the stylish one who loves fashion and wants to be ladylike. Beth is the shy one who loves music and animals. Finally Amy is the youngest who wants to be grown up. This book is about during the civil war period, them struggling and yet thriving without their dad. Even though this book is fiction it has taught me a lot.

By BOOK CITY

Sanderson is my favorite author of all time, and Mistborn my favorite series. His worldbuilding, stories, and characters are just superb—original in concepts (creative twists on traditional elements of fantasy) and meticulous in details (every character, event, and detail interwoven from beginning to end). I've read 3 books/series by him: Mistborn, Elantris, and Skyward; I hope to one day read the rest of his works too. Give Mistborn a try (for ages 13 and above), and I promise you'll love it!
