When i read 101 ways to dance i realized that Kathy Stinson wrote this book so the teenagers who read this book can relate to it. 101 ways to dance has to do with teenage stories.
When many teens begin there teenage years they realize there true identity. Many teenagers realize that they love there same gender or the opposite way around. This book is a judge free book because these teens experience different cases.
When i started reading the blurb i felt like smacking Brooke for chasing Scott, her soulmate all the way to New York City. She abandoned her friends, her school, and her neighborhood for a guy!
Once i finished the book i knew what she did was worth it because at the end she met her real soulmate. If something was really yours it will come back and if it doesn't come back it was never yours.
I wonder how Brooke's best friend April felt about Brooke's decision. Many friends don't say the truth so they don't hurt their feelings.

I read the first 79 pages of the book
I found the following quote interesting:
"Let us strike the key-note again, before pursuing the tune."
In the text, I noticed the unique way the book was written. Instead of starting the chapter on a new page, the start started right after the end of the previous chapter. By doing this, it allowed the book to flow without pauses. The way the book is written also make you want to continue reading. Each chapter is like a new short story. Something new is learned every time.
In the book Gilgamesh by Stephen Mitchell I found some sections very disturbing. On page 77-79 I found everything that was going on disturbing because Gilgamesh told the trapper to tell Shamash to use her lady love arts on Enkidu so he can stop being followed by forest animals. I found it disturbing because they had sex for seven days straight and Shamash out of no where takes her clothes off and lays there naked with her legs all wide open. I found this disturbing because he ate her out and they made love in the middle of nowhere.

The Death Cure is the last book of the Maze Runner Series. I have to say, the ending was really good, and really bad. I won’t tell you why or how because if I do, the thrill will be gone.
The entire series is just really great, I was engaged, and it really made me think about things. The book really saddened me at times, which I think is probably good because it’s actually good enough to make the reader really care about the characters and what’s happening. There are a lot of really emotional moments in this book.

Recently, I read We The Animals by Justin Torres , and I have to say: This book is beyond amazing.
The book is about three brothers who lived in a world full of imagination as well as pain.
They called themselves, “The Three Musketeers: Frankenstein, the bride of Frankenstein, and the baby of Frankenstein,” or “The Three Bears,” since they were hardly ever separated.
