A Good Girl's Guide to Murder Review

 Hello Fellow Readers!

    I recently have came across a book that was absolutely perfect for me. It also might have been what was suggested to me more when I went looking for new books for me to read. This review is about A Good Girls Guide to Murder by: Holly Jackson!

    This book is about a investigating into a murder that took place too long after the crime was committed, 5 years later. The main character Pippa isn't sure if they've accused the right guy so for her senior year project she does a deep dive into this case to discover clues all over the town that someone is trying to cover up, maybe even the murder. Pippa experiences being shut down by adults in her life because of believing something that seems so obvious to everyone else, but also for talking to Sal's (victim) brother. Pippa wants to know the whole story so that means talking to everyone possibly invited and asking the hard questions everyone else is too scared to ask.

    This book truly satisfied my crave for a great triller/mystery (there's nothing more mysterious than a someone trying to over up a murder.) I would give this book a very solid 4/5! While I always love a good mystery there were certain some hard topics to read about so I would advice others to look into the topics described if you have certain triggers. 

    It has recently come to my attention that there will be a series based off of this book and the rest of the series! (yay!) I'm very excited to see how these characters will be portrayed in the series. Till next time, happy reading!

The False Prince-Krish

The False Prince Book Review I first heard about this book from my mom. It was a normal day, and I was just sitting around on the couch when my mom told me about this book. She had read this book nearly 5 years ago and had set a Google Calendar reminder to tell me about this book five years later. She was just trying to test if Google Calendar worked. But it worked! Now, I decided to read this book because of my mom's recommendation, and it was a pretty good book. False Prince is set in a fictional kingdom where the king has just died. A nobleman named Conner devises a plan to find an impersonator of the king's long-lost son and install him as a puppet prince to unify a discontented kingdom. He decides to train three candidates to impersonate the prince. This book follows one of the three people he decides to train, Sage, and his story.      I enjoyed False Prince a lot and it was very entertaining. Jennifer A. Nielsen has a unique way of bringing out each character's per...

The Dark Truth Behind a "Man's Best Friend" - Charlotte Lin

Image
Golden Retrievers are popular pets, known for their loyalty and friendliness. German Shepherds are well-known as police dogs for their size, intelligence, work ethic, and trainability. Chihuahuas are famously loved for their petite size and adorable features. Most dog traits and characteristics have been artificially bred, defined, and enhanced through selective breeding. While breeding practices can produce desirable offspring with beneficial attributes, many are unaware of the price the animals must pay. This month I did a lot of reading about how breeding initiated by humans has affected the development and health of dogs for hundreds of years. At first, I was just interested in the incredible variety of a singular species and how canines have progressed to hundreds of different breeds worldwide. However, the topic of breeding and genetics surprisingly led me to learn about the ethics of these practices, revealing a darker side of dog breeding.  The truth is that purposely breed...

Amulet 1 by Kazu Kibuishi

 So when I was first writing my Readers Autobiography I decided to talk about Amulet in the rough draft and I said that when I was a kid I thought it was boring to read, mainly because the dialogue felt like too much for me at the time but a few weeks ago I decided to reread the series and I was actually pretty engaged with it now that I could understand, I found it quite interesting and it was actually much shorter than I thought it was compared to when I was younger.  In case you haven't already read this book yet, the main character Emily Hayes is someone who has been through things as a kid what caused her change in demeanor as a kid was when her father died in a car accident which turned her from a playful child to quiet, serious mature person. 2 years after her fathers death, her mom decides for the family to move to a far away place in the countryside where her great grandfather used to live in. As they start to clean the house Emily finds a red amulet that used to belo...
