One book I could read again and again is “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. It’s a story about finding your dreams and what you want. I also really like “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. It teaches important lessons about kindness and understanding others. There are many more that I can read over again; these are just a few.

Ban
In the quiet places where shadows lie,
Books are banned, but truth won’t die.
History fades when we turn away,
Let’s not lose the past today.
Guardians of knowledge, take a stand,
Protect the stories of our land.
For in the light of words, we find,
The power to shape what’s in our mind.

My Shop
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?
If I were to open a shop, I would probably sell my artwork along with my friends’ writing.

No one to hold me, no one to chase

No one to share my thoughts, no one to hold tight
I long for connection, for someone to see
The loneliness inside me, the ache to be free
I reach out in the darkness, but no one is there
I cry out for comfort, but no one will care
I am lost in this void, this vast empty space
Alone in my loneliness, with tears on my face
But I know deep inside, that this too shall pass
That the sun will shine again, that this pain will not last
I hold onto hope, that one day I’ll find
A kindred spirit, a love that is kind
So I’ll weather this storm, this lonely night
And trust in the promise, that everything will be right
For even in my solitude, I am not truly alone
For love will find me, and make this heart its home.

Favorite Childhood books
Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?
I remember “The Babysitters Club” by Ann M. Martin as my favorite book from childhood. This series was special to me because it revolved around a group of friends who started a babysitting business together. I loved how each book was filled with fun adventures and valuable life lessons. The characters felt so relatable, and I always looked forward to reading about their escapades.
My favorite character was Mary Anne, and I admired her gentle and caring nature. The stories taught me about friendship, responsibility, and problem-solving in a way that was entertaining and engaging. Overall, it was a series that left a lasting impression on me and one that I fondly remember to this day.

Books
List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?
Eat, Pray, Love had a significant impact on me because it’s a story of self-discovery and finding inner peace. I resonated with the author’s journey of seeking happiness and fulfillment from different cultures and perspectives.
The Help left a lasting impression on me due to its powerful portrayal of racial injustice and the strength of female solidarity. The characters’ resilience and bravery in the face of adversity deeply moved me.
Nineteen Minutes made an impact on me because of its thought-provoking exploration of a school shooting and its aftermath. The way the novel delved into the complexities of human emotions and the consequences of bullying and isolation left me contemplating its themes long after I finished reading.
