    Great review Praachi! The memoir sounds like it includes a lot of emotions, but I like how he expresses that in the style of a graphic novel. It’s crazy how we always overlook people’s lives when they’re famous and don’t realize that they are human too. I definitely could see myself reading this book!

    Nice review Praachi! This seems like a great book that lets people know that struggling is part of life and that the rich and famous are not exceptions. It conveys a message that no one is perfect and that it will all be fine.

Discovering French

Discovering French   Cover of Discovering French Hello, everyone, or should I say, Bonjour mes camarades. Welcome to my final blogpost of the year. Today, I will be reviewing my French textbook, Discovering French , by Jean Paul and Rebecca Valette, which was published in 1995 and updated in 2003. Now, you might be wondering, Sri, why are you reviewing a school textbook, you lazy bum? Well, I wanted to mix things up. Also, this review might serve useful to people who want to talk French in school, or just to try something different. Let's dive in. I started using this book as a part of the French class curriculum. I personally have enjoyed this book to learn French, because it is filled with illustrations (animated and realistic) that are lively. For example, on page 56, in the unit about time, instead of just wondering what it looks like when people are telling someone that they have to go somewhere else, I get to see a dialogue and illustration; I understand right away. Acc...

Alice Oseman

  Alice Oseman Alice Oseman is one of my favorite authors. She writes queer young-adult fiction books and has had the most success with Heartstopper , a book series that is now a show on Netflix with a second season soon to come. I will be talking about my three favorite Alice Oseman books. These are 3 of her 4 standalone books and they all have themes of friendship, self-discovery, and identity. Radio Silence Radio Silence is Alice Oseman's second book. It follows a high-achieving high school girl named Frances who loves the science-fiction podcast, Radio Silence . She gets good grades in school no matter what and she will not let anything get in the way of her going to Cambridge. Secretly though, she has a passion for art. So when the creator of Radio Silence offers her a chance to make the graphics for the podcast, she immediately agrees. Coincidentally, she becomes closer with Aled, the creator, throughout the summer and they become great friends. This book follows Frances, h...

The Communist Manifesto

  For this third blog post, I read the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx. My first impression of it was a small red book with an introduction that was WAY too long (half the actual book, and keep in mind the width of it is about half an index finger measured vertically). When I started to get to the content, the closest thing I could find to a character was a guy called the “bourgeoisie”, who seemed to be messing with a guy called the “proletarian” and the “communists”. The whole plot  was basically how “bourgeoisie” was screwing up others' lives! 0/10, would not recommend.  Bad jokes aside, I actually did enjoy the book a lot. As I said above, the intro was quite lengthy, but once I got to the good part, smooth sailing was inevitable. I came to this book with a mindset of skepticism, as it seemed as if it was brainwashing propaganda meant to make the reader hypnotize themselves in Communism. Of course, my skepticism was well deserved, as my predictions turned out to be tr...
