The Moon on a Rainy Night, Vol. 3
Kuzushiro Kuzushiro
A high school girl's chance encounter with an enigmatic female classmate whose musical aspirations were complicated when an accident almost completely took her hearing leads to the slow blossoming of love. Perfect for fans of yuri series like Whisper Me a Love Song and sweet, sophisticated romances like A Sign of Affection .
One rainy night, a girl named Saki is rushing to a piano lesson when she crashes into a beautiful, dark-haired stranger, dropping her sheet music in the process. Saki stutters an apology, but the stranger simply hands back her sheet music and leaves without a word. Saki begins her first day of high school the next morning, only to find the stranger from the day before sitting in the desk next to hers. Saki soon learns that the girl's name is Kanon and that she is not quite completely deaf, but very hard of hearing. Though Kanon needs to be close to people to read their lips, her seemingly icy demeanor has left her isolated from her classmates. Through one kind gesture, Saki slowly begins breaking down the walls around Kanon, even as she feels something new blossoming within her.

This is really cute, I’ll definitely be reading more of it. It seems to be more of a slow burn than a lot of manga and I really like that about it. The relationship between the two main characters seems very realistic to me.

I wasn’t really loving this at first but I got really into it. My only real issue with it is that Stephen King isn’t very good at writing women but that’s something that I already knew.

Stephen King
A modern classic, Carrie introduced a distinctive new voice in American fiction -- Stephen King. The story of misunderstood high school girl Carrie White, her extraordinary telekinetic powers, and her violent rampage of revenge, remains one of the most barrier-breaking and shocking novels of all time.

I had been eyeing this book for a while but finally picked it up to break me out of a reading slump. I don’t typically read mystery and a really enjoyed this. It is marketed as cozy and I’m not sure I agree with that but it is light. I definitely recommend it for mystery lovers and mystery newbies alike.

I don’t typically read poetry. I don’t usually enjoy poetry but this book was really good. I read all of it in one sitting because I was truly enjoying it. The author has a great way with words and I’ll definitely really some more of his work.

The God Delusion
Richard Dawkins
A preeminent scientist - and the world's most prominent atheist - asserts the irrationality of belief in God, and the grievous harm religion has inflicted on society, from the Crusades to 9/11.
With rigor and wit, Dawkins examines God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament, to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion, and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry, and abuses children, buttressing his points with historical and contemporary evidence.
The God Delusion makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just wrong, but potentially deadly. It also offers exhilarating insight into the advantages of atheism to the individual and society, not the least of which is a clearer, truer appreciation of the universe's wonders than any faith could ever muster.

I Talk To Horses
Jaylon J. Martin
Although I began living a life that embraced sobriety, there were still a lot of past traumas I needed to unpack.
Growing up, the sight of horses always excited me—I admired them deeply. I never knew there was a kind of therapy that incorporated them. This is called equine therapy, a therapeutic process that involves the presence of horses. After a year of loss and rediscovering who I truly am, I felt this was exactly what I needed.
Almosta Ranch was where my equine therapy journey began. It was there that I met many loving horses—especially Beau, who became one of my best friends. My bond with these horses encouraged me to view my past through a new one of forgiveness—for myself and others—and of self-love.
The 22 poems in this book are about more than healing—they are about experiencing transformation, showing love from a distance, and truly letting go of the things that have weighed me down.
“Many wonder about the change in me, and I never reveal what my source is. Happily, in this book, I reveal...
I Talk to Horses.”

I enjoyed this a lot. I think it was a really interesting take on the story of Snow White. I also really loved that the main character was different than many other fantasy protagonists (she is 35, plus sized, and strong willed but not overly argumentative to the point of being unlikable)
