Over the last two years, I have listened to or read all of Agatha Christie's books, and I am so sad that it's over. They were so nice to listen to because I didn't have to pay super close attention to follow the story, but I was always entertained.
Recently, I have read The Heart of a Samauri, about the fictionalized story about the first Japanese person to go to America; he was on a fishing vessel that was blown out of Japanese waters by a storm and then rescued by an American ship. They couldn't take him back to Japan because the Japanese didn't allow Americans in their ports at that time.
I'm in the middle of Suzanne Collins' Gregor the Overlander series. I'm reading it to recommend it to my middle schoolers, and I like it.
The Plot was pretty good.
The main idea of this book is to prioritize convenience over aesthetics, and I've found it really helpful.
