All I Know Now: Wonderings and Reflections on Growing Up Gracefully by Carrie Hope Fletcher My rating: 3 of 5 stars I still finish this book after 30 pages into it and finding that it is really a book that better suits teenagers. Why? I think we adults can learn a lot from these candid reflections from a twenty-two-year-old... And I did. However, I have to say that the author and maybe her editors can do a better job at proofreading--so many mistakes! And I can never really get used to her long sentences, which sound like someone talking to herself nonstop, instead of reading some long but well-structured sentences. At this point, I can only ask myself if I am becoming old-fashioned. Well, I would say it might be typical of a book like this. And I think this is a book I can recommend to my students! :) View all my reviews

Terrible Tudors And Slimy Stuarts by Terry Deary My rating: 5 of 5 stars I've always enjoyed the Horrible Histories series! This one is especially good because I already know quite a bit about these two periods. I think this book adds some more funny (yet real) details to my understanding of the Tudors and Stuarts. I would highly recommend this book to those who are interested in British history. View all my reviews
