p3 - The saddest thing to me though is, if/when I have kids, they might not ever know about HP or might grow up in a world like Fahrenheit 451 - basically doing everything on tech.

I might sound like an old person, but I am sirius (hahah), HP might end up being what HTKAM or F451 or Of Mice and Men are now: a book we are forced to read in class. Think about that.

pt2 - Whereas, my sister who is ten has never read HP and doesn't really care for the movies. My brother is too young to read them.
My siblings are a part of Gen alpha. My sister and I are less than a decade apart, but even so, things are way different. Both of my siblings are much more interested in TV and tech and while you may think my generation is bad, you should see my sibling's generation. It is crazy.

pt 1 - Think about it - one day, Harry Potter will be a book kids have to read for school. My generation (gen z) knows about Harry Potter and so many many people love it, but the newest generation (gen alpha?) is crazy. They are obsessed with tech.
I grew up with Harry Potter. I first read it when I was 8 and now reread every few years (though this is nothing compared to how much some millennials act about HP)...

this was a confusing book. I don't really like it or dislike it. 2.5/5 stars

maybe if I read this FOR FUN, I think i would like it.

But TBH (DONT HATE ME) I hate the authors style

I am currently writing a dystopian (think Hunger Games x Fahrenheit 451 x The Selection x Shatter Me). I need some feedback. If you are interested in reading the first few chapters of the FIRST DRAFT please send me a comment or message. You will be added as a commenter. :)
Have a great rest of your week!

I read this while in the hospital and never got to finish it. I didn't know if I'd ever finish it but I requested for it in the library and they got it within 5 days. I am very pleased.

Let's reread this.

this book reminds me of something and i'd rather not say what. iykyk

as i read murder mysteries, i always question why murder exists? why do we kill our own kind? who started it? is it like a cycle? why does murder exist? idk i feel dumb to ask this, but think hard about it. why do people think taking away someone's life is the worst punishment?


gosh, i feel dumb, but try to understand my thinking.

this book is legit insane......what the actual hell. how could she do that to a NEWBORN baby. D I S G U S T I N G

i am enjoying this so far though it is hitting a bit hard for me.

Girl in Pieces. Yay or nay?

Love the story but kinda hate the style

OH HECK NAH. NOPE.

I cannot explain my excitement about getting The Box in the Woods! I am absolutely loving it so far and even suspecting some characters.
