A slow going book- You have to trust the process. This book made it super clear that is was NOT historical fiction. Almost every single fact was cited (Which isn't so much of a problem) but, it made certain parts of the book super boring. Although I appreciate the thoroughness, I think the book could've incorporated the same information and made the book a little more interesting. I learned a lot as I was reading the book, but again, I devoured the book in 4 days (camping) and I think It would have taken me 10 days or I wouldn't have gotten past the first two chapters, if I was at home.

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath follows a girl named Esther Greenwood. For the majority of her life, Esther has known winning scholarships. After all, thats the whole reason why Esther has an apprenticeship for a fashion magazine in New York City. Though, with the standards of being a woman in a judgmental society, Esther will find herself gradually succumbing to insanity. This book had its moments where I felt I should stop reading it. Some of the ideas in this book can still be applied to today's society though, many of the ideas are outdated. For one, at the very beginning, we see language that targets minority groups. There are outdated terms used that are harmful stereotypes to this day. There was one part of the book that disturbed me when Esther kicked a black man because he served two different platters of beans to her. Can this "feminist" book be considered groundbreaking if the language brings down other oppressed groups? I understand that this book was written decades ago, but it seems like a lousy excuse to me to bring down minorities. I will admit, though, I did enjoy some of the metaphors in the novel and some of the foreshadowing. One instance is on page one when Esther states, "...but I couldn't help wondering what it would be like, being burned alive all along your nerves," which foreshadows the electrotherapy that Esther is going to receive later in the novel. Though, these metaphors do not change the fact that this book had some harmful stereotypes in it. Overall, certain parts of this book were upsetting, and I feel as though there are most likely many books out there that have aspects of feminism that advocate for POC and other oppressed minorities.

It was hilarious. There was poop, radioactive poop & so much more poop. There’s a talking dog & a very chatty newborn

This was a good book that shows Dinos doing silly cleanup activities. I remember this book from when I was a little kid

I loved this book because I love animals and I love when authors write books from an animal's perspective because it makes the book just so interesting that you can't stop reading it.

At the end of the book I like how the Petal Princess is holding Farrah and covering her up with her petal parasol.The illustrations are beautiful.

The book dachshund thought the snow by David Rosenfelt was an awesome book. Normally when I read a book I can anticipate what is going to happen most of the time I am right but in this book I knew what was going to happen and I was right but at the end it was someone completely different. I give Dachshund through the snow only four stars because even though it was very interesting the book was very slow at times.

My favorite part was when Kristy decided to let Dawn join the baby-sitters club even though she thought Dawn would not be able to handle babysitting "the worst kids". But after Dawn babysat the Barrettes ( "the worst kids") a few times she really thought she knew what she was doing and she was finally let into the BSC. This is related to my life because I really hope to get good kids when I start babysitting.

I liked this book because Chi Chi and Mei Mei trick Mr Pinch.

My favorite part of Rising Above was when the author told me about the struggles that these athletes had, and it was cool to learn about the famous athletes and how they accomplished their sports careers. This was very cool to learn about and this is why I read this book and where they lived and the staggers that they had to accomplish and that their pedant were famous players too like Lebron James and I would like to be him.
