       Here is my current list of books I want to read, with a mix of sci-fi, dystopian, and historical fiction. These are the top books I want to read right now, but definitely not all. :) #1 = The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams A combination of comedy and sci-fi, this classic book follows the adventures of an Intergalactic space traveler. I want to read this because I love classic books and have been meaning to read this one for years!! #2 = Dune by Frank Herbert A sci-fi classic set in a very distant future, where political leaders on the desert planet of Arrakis fight to control the valuable spice trade. I mostly want to read this after watching the movies, especially since Timothée Chalamet is in them :)))   #3 = The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells This 1897 sci-fi classic novel is about a scientist who becomes invisible and the isolation that follows. I recently heard of this book, and I think it has a very interesting plot....

Singularity, by William Sleator, is by far one of the most interesting science-fiction novels I have read. I recently finished it with my reading tutor, who was a former physics professor at the University of Illinois. Sleator also taught at the U of I, and my tutor got to meet him shortly before Sleator's death. The book revolves around two twins, Harry and Barry. Harry is the nerdy twin, and Barry is the athletic one. Whenever they go out, Barry's always the one that gets talked to, and Barry is always acting like he's better than Harry. Both of the twins go to their uncle's house, who died a little while before from an unknown cause. The twins' parents drop them off there, where they spend the next couple of weeks. Initially, the twins just explore their uncles mansion, which is a little spooky. After they finish exploring the mansion and not finding anything too weird, they go outside and find the most important place in the story; The Playhouse. The Playhouse (...

“The Hate U Give” by Angie Thomas is a novel that was first published in 2017 and later adapted into a movie. The book follows sixteen year old Starr Carter as she navigates her life after witnessing a close friend get killed by a police officer. The way it happened was that Starr and her best friend, Khalil, got pulled over by a cop who refused to tell them the reason why. The cop, (Officer Cruise) tells Khalil to get out of the car and not move while he looks at their documents. When Khalil leans into the window to ask Starr if she’s okay, the officer shoots him. After his shocking death, Starr struggles with the fact that some people think that it is good he died, that it’s just one less drug dealer and troublemaker on the streets. Throughout the novel, Starr finds justice for Khalil by finding herself .  I think one of the most important aspects of this book is friendships. For context, Starr goes to a private school where she and her brother, Seven, are basically the only Afri...
