Keeps the Feeling of TLJ

I can always trust Gary Whitta’s voice to keep the emotional aspect of Star Wars intact. This is a worthy adaptation!

Added Nothing

This adaptation was more word for word certain scenes. It didn’t add anything to the story. If I didn’t know TFA, it wouldn’t have made sense.

Definitely one of the best book boyfriends!!

I so rarely ship the wrong ship but I totally shipped the wrong ship the whole time here! This was such a great look into the transition that is senior year. I can't wait to talk to Emery about it on Tuesday!

Wow! Lovely War is a unique story, with Aphrodite narrating two stories of love through WWI. The way Julie Berry tackles this age old love vs war dynamic is stunning! I really loved how everything wove together and the ending, including the historical context that we so miss in American history classes.

Look, I know absolutely nothing about Jane Austen and her stories but every time I read a Kate Watson book, I get a little more curious. Not going to lie, Off Script in combination with the latest Emma movie trailer has me even more intrigued!

We live in an era of Instagram influencers and the #MeToo movement, which Kate appropriate explores in her story. Yes, Emma is a celebrity and comes from celebrity, but she feels equally as down to earth and real as someone who lives next door. She could be your best friend (Emma, call me) yet she has some work to do (oh, and does she do the work) as a precocious young adult. Perhaps what I love most about this story is that Emma has actual thigh muscles on the cover and the diet to match. I’ve never read a female character who goes through a muscle growth period. As a person who has been in a growth period for almost 3 years, I can tell you: it’s fucking hard. The stigma around having muscles as a female is real so to have Emma as a role model for youth is *chef’s kiss*.

Oh, and that last chapter? Seeing old favorites will never get old. Thanks for keeping these stories in the same universe!

Perfect for older elementary youth who are struggling with transition to being a tween and the separation that naturally occurs from the adults in your life as you get older!

Not my fav Katie book. I never really fell for the characters and the premise wasn't really for me. I thought this was going to be more of a thriller but that could be my misunderstanding.

Well now I want to know so much more. This issue is all action and leaves the audience curious about all that came before this moment in time.

Mike reminds me of Shaun David Hutchinson. Sure, these are sci-fi stories but really they’re just about people.

And truly, aren’t people the most fascinating story to tell?
