Not feeling so hot today, but at least I've got Shakespeare Star Wars to make it better!

I recently finished student teaching this book at a middle school, and I completely loved it. Salva's journey was so incredible, and it really gave you the idea that no matter who you are where you come from, you can make a difference in this world.

V for Vendetta | Alan Moore

I absolutely adored this graphic novel! Usually I'm not one to go for graphic novels, but this one really caught my attention. I love anything that has to do with an authoritarian government, and this one really hails true to the thought that an idea can't be killed, especially an idea of revolt or anarchy.

Reviving Ophelia | Mary Pipher

I read this novel for my psychology class. I found the subject matter very interesting, and the cases outlined in the novel are intriguing, but at the same time, it is very outdated. Society has changed since it was published, especially with the increase in technology and social media, which can also take a toll on young girls during adolescence. That's just something to keep in mind when reading.

This earth shall have a feeling, and these stones/Prove armed soldiers, ere her native king/Shall falter under foul rebellion's arms.

I loved this book when I read it for my lit class! Some parts were so creepy I got chills! You really get some insight into how another culture views the ideas of twins, dual identity, and the spirit world. You should definitely give it a try.
