the hate u give, angie thomas

released 2017

read: 12 june 2023 – 14 june 2023

i must be the last person on the planet to have read this book (especially given the events of the years since its initial publication) and so i'm not sure what i can say that hasn't already been said. i enjoyed the book, but more than anything what makes it unique is its phenomenal message. what i also really liked were the unexpected moments of humour and levity sprinkled throughout. obviously, this book focuses on a challenging subject matter - but it's digestible, so if you still haven't read it i would very much recommend that you do.

rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Must read books suggestions please.....

MUST READ BOOKS HELL YEAH

ok I have quite a few but I’ll keep my list at 5 for now 🤗🤗🤗

1. Pilu of the Woods by Mai K. Nguyen

I did this one as a buddy read and it changed me. The story follows a young girl as she helps a forest spirit find her way back home. The themes deal with death, grief, and how we deal with emotions, namely by bottling them up. It’s a graphic novel that’s beautiful.

2. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

I don’t read a lot of YA books but this one is amazing. It’s rooted in the Black Lives Matter movement, featuring characters who are dealing with the unjust death of a friend by the hands of police. Starr, the main character, is passionate and gives us a strong narrative fired with emotions, sometimes conflicting.

3. My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell

Flash back: I’m in my IB Biology class and my (favorite) teacher borrows me this book.

I wasn’t into it the first time I read it, but the second time? I ate it up. It’s a true story by Gerald Durrell on how his family up and moved from England to the island of Corfu, and writes about his adventures with the wildlife and his siblings, who could also be considered part of the wildlife. It’s witty, funny, and gave me a newfound appreciation for life & nature.

4. Snapdragon by Kat Leyh

Holy cannoli, did I love this graphic novel. It’s got everything! Lgbtq rep, witches, taxidermy, self discovery, old love, and family drama. You’re following our main character Snapdragon as she befriends the local witch and how they start to bond with each other. Snap’s mom is super cool, too! Actually, all the characters are rich and well put together.

5. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

Accompanied by the amazing artwork of Dave McKean, Neil Gaiman spins us a story of mystery, growth, and self-realization. It start with a murder that leaves a baby in the care of a graveyard full of ghosts and a mysterious protector. As the boy, Nobody (Bod for short), grows up, he must learn the tricks of the graveyard and be hidden from a murderer who is still looking for him. Does this sound interesting? It’s even better once you read it, trust me.

That’s all for now, but those are some of my favorite books that I think I’d consider “must reads”. My favorite book is Watership Down, but as it is large and not everyone’s cup of tea, I’ll leave it off the list for now. If you’re interested, it does feature an epic journey taken on by a group of rabbits looking for a home. Check it out if you want!

Thanks for listening to me ramble!

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life. Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, this is a powerful and gripping YA novel about one girl's struggle for justice.

"Son, one of the biggest lies ever told is that Black men don't feel emotions. Guess it's easier to not see us as human when you think we're heartless. Fact of the matter is we feel things. Hurt, pain, sadness, all of it. We got a right to show them feelings as much as anybody else."
