Lunch Lady finds out that the mathletes from Willowby academy are not human. In the finals of a math competition Thomson Brook school beats Willowby who has never lost. The kids get mad and transform into aliens who try to steal their trophy. Thankfully, Lunch Lady came and defeated the mutants and their teacher, Mr. Addison. This was a great book and I enjoy this series very much.

iZombie via Sookie Stackhouse this graphic novel introduces us to a relatable new adult just trying to figure out her life, a prospect daunting enough before she woke up undead. The 'creepy' mythology builds on familiar archetypes like werewolves and vampires, but expands on the less familiar ghouls. Interesting art that strays far from realism, without delving too far into cartoony.

I like the dark because she never gives up and even though you feel like you can’t do something you always need to try and try and try again and that’s why I like Vashti and that’s also why I like the book

O. Henry was a great writer with each story having a surprising ending but his use of the English language made him difficult to follow.

I wanted to love this book as science and faith and their intersections are where I "live". But this book plunged into the world of addiction so heavily, that I felt like I needed an Al-Anon meeting while reading it. I don't say that lightly because I highly appreciate 12-step recovery groups. I thought this leaned heavily into the coming-of-age issues of how to disengage from mentally ill parents and restrictive churches. Because it was a look-backwards POV, I thought Gifty, being a Stanford student, would be intelligent enough to seek out other places of worship and come to terms with (while not approve of) the cultural issues in churches. To condemn God because of a few people seems.....unwise and unfair. Do we want God to smite every bad action or actor? Wouldn't that include each one of us? This is the inherent tension in Christianity. How do we continue to love? The attempt for Gifty to discover the answers to depression and addiction seems laudable but naive. How many millions of people have hoped to do just that? Maybe working with God and maybe through 12-step groups could move the needle? Nonetheless,I learned a lot about Ghana, the daily pain of immigration, and the bigotry endemic in AL.

Its about a comedian that worked on Saturday night live and had her own show.

This book was super funny and very adventurous I highly recommend this book. My favorite part of this book is when the narrator explains that he can not tell you anything about the characters and he says this in a really funny way.

It was really good.

A step into history brings out the wide-eyed boy in me. The present pains that mingled with the protagonists life-struggles fit all too well into her archaeological explorations.
