Kyle's Little Sister
Kyle's Little Sister written and illustrated by BonHyung Jeong is a middle school level book that is based on a television show. It is a graphic novel about how Kyle's little sister fits in with her new school surroundings. This could be a good story to share if siblings go to the same school. There are plenty of lessons that readers can learn in how to make friends the right and wrong ways, but kids need to learn.

Stuart Little
Stuart Little written by E.B. White is the story of a small mouse living in New York City with his family raising him as their son. Stuart is one to make friends and have adventures in any way he can. This story is one of anthromorphism in my opinion I believe.

Unraveling Time's Palindrome: Deconstructing Christopher Nolan's "Tenet"
In the dim glow of cinematic anticipation, the latest offering from the esteemed yet enigmatic director Christopher Nolan emerges—like an intricately woven tapestry of reality and imagination. "Tenet," they call it, a palindrome title hinting at the mysterious entanglements of time inversion and the tantalizing promise of a narrative that both begins and ends in a mirror-like symmetry.

The Stranger
Consider a philosophy camouflaged through the mind of a pessimist at odds with his times. Well, the the time was mid-20th century; Albert Camus, the french philosopher, explores the human experience through his concept the absurd, where pessimism exudes from a main character troubled by society. The Stranger is enigma.

Twilight
An awkward teenager. A sparkly vampire. A besotted werewolf. Love it or hate it, the cultural impact of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight is undeniable. Combining supernatural themes with young adult romance for the first time, the series paved the way for a new sub-genre in fiction and has become truly iconic.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Touting the message that eating healthy makes us feel good, grow and become better, fully-realized versions of ourselves, while consuming junk food leaves us feeling lousy, The Very Hungry Caterpillar would be nothing but noble if not for its message also buying into the toxic culture of fat-shaming. So close.

A Man Called Ove
Ove is ready to die. Unfortunately, a new neighbor disturbs his death and forces him to live (and where’d the cat come from?). Humorous and heartfelt, A Man Called Ove is an honest look at the joy and sorrow of living told through the life of one cranky old man.

Unforgiving- Alien Weaponry
I hate to admit that the first time I heard Unforgiving was in concert. The first time was surreal, as I stood next to my brother, who I nearly lost the previous year. Little did I know a year later, this would be my comfort song when my grandmother passed.

Man In The Box
Man In The Box has always been my favorite Alice In Chains song. Perhaps because I’ve often felt that I’ve been trying to escape the box that people are always trying to paint me into. Most definitely it has something to do with Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell’s vocal styling.
