Book: Voyage on the Great Titanic by Ellen Emerson White (Dear America)

Dear America: Voyage on the Great Titanic by Ellen Emerson White

This Dear America book was the first one I had read, completely enamoured with it when I was young due to my interest in history. I was really interested in learning about the Titanic at the time and even though I knew that this was a fictional book, there is some truth to it due to the authors having to research the time periods and events they set their characters in.

The Dear America books are written in a diary/journal type of format, so everything is told in first person point-of-view. This one in particular is written by a little girl named Margaret, actually she is a teenager, who boards the Titanic. 

Also, spoilers ahead! So read at your own risk! Enjoy!

Manga: Time Paradox Ghostwriter by Kenji Ichima



Time Paradox Ghostwriter by Ichima Kenji is a short-lived manga series, only fourteen chapters long, that in all actuality is not really all that memorable. I finished this manga the week the last chapter was released in the Shounen Jump app, so it has been a little while and honestly it has taken me a long time to get the motivation to write this review. Just like Guardian of the Witch by Sakano Asahi, this was a very short story that the mangaka could've played around with more and extended the story. The story was very plain and basic, but if you're looking for a quick read, this is something you might enjoy.

Book: Forced to Bloom by Alexis Adaire (Volume 1)

Forced to Bloom, Book 1 - Kindle edition by Adaire, Alexis ...

This is a novella I've been putting off for a while... It's not bad, I'm going to say this right off the bat, but there was no need for the story to be broken up into SIX little novellas. If all the novellas were to be combined, because it is one continuous story, it would be a full novel. Unfortunately, things like these happen for financial gain, which I can say because each of the books, after the first, is about $2.99 but there is a collected version that has all six books for $6.99. Obviously the collected edition is the one I will be getting, but the pieces really should just be combined to form one full novel instead of six little novellas.

Book: Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements (Things #1)

Amazon.com: Things Not Seen (8601410899783): Clements, Andrew: Books


Okay everyone! This is the second review transferred from my book vlog! It was a summer reading assignment for school that I had put off for the longest and read the book and filled out the packet for it on the plane ride home from my vacation. Personally, I don't like school assigned books, I don't like that I am being forced to read a novel I had no interest in reading at the time. 

Anyways, all I remember from this is that the main character becomes invisible and it is a big problem for him. Now I have not much more to say, so let's allow 13-year-old me take it away!
