My most recent reads is The Girl Who Came Home, by Hazel Gaynor. I would give it a 4/5 because it is such a heartwarming story about a girl and a great-grandmother connecting with one another through the challenges they have faced in life. Also, the flashbacks set place during the Titanic.

The last book I read was Cynthia and Dan. It's an e-book centred around cyber war activities between terrorist organizations and social forces. I rate the book four out of four stars.

I really loved the book I read last. It was titled Cynthia and Dan: Cyber War. The book explains some of the activities of terrorist organizations and how they recruit their followers. I gave it a rating of four stars.

Book 69: Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. The narration is simple, but the book is long and full of ideas that are a bit dense and won't let you read quickly. So set aside a good time to read when you do. And reread when you have the opportunity, I will do so.
Outside of that, it's totally worth it. His racial denunciation is very important, but above all the author's ability to convey the frustration and awakening of his protagonist to the racist reality around him is revealing. And he goes much further and describes how the politics of such a situation are bent on maintaining it and making the most of it.
An excellent book that everyone should read at least once. 4/5

Last book I read was a romance novel and it wasn't very good if I am honest. It's How Sweet It Is by Dylan Newton. The premise was fun and I really got into the setting of the story, but it felt too surface level. It was a quick read without much drama, so that's good. I'd rate it a 3.5/5 :)

See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon. I rated it 4/5 stars due to the slow beginning.

I just finished reading Cartographers by Peng Shepherd. I loved the premise and actually liked the book until the end because it did not answer some of the plot topics I was unsure of. I have been thinking about it since, and I am unable to come to a satisfactory answer so I gave it 3/5 stars.

Book 70: Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. A book too long for the story it tells. It would have been perfectly fine at 300 pages or less. The language is simple, but there are so many redundancies and repetitions that they get tiresome and don't let you read in one sitting, as I would have preferred.
The premise is good and, surely, the most attractive part of the book. Bringing your favorite characters from the books into the real world doesn't sound bad. (Of course, as long as your favorites aren't the villains like mine.) Unfortunately, this premise falls short of expectations and, near the end, ends up being incongruous with the final outcome. ||(Because the author conveniently forgot to note that not only did you bring characters or objects into the real world, but they also blindly obeyed your commands as long as you continued reading. Which hadn't happened with any previously brought characters, but just worked with the last one no problem. Look at that.)||
Anyway, I think there are better children's books that you could recommend to the little ones. I would leave this one for when you run out of good options. 3/5

The eSmith Eye Story by GranRan .I gave it a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. The story's plot is interesting and the characters were well developed. It's the story of what eSmith (Fox) and his friend had to do to set free a beautiful foxy fox he saw at a poker house. The story is interesting and I enjoyed reading it.
