Book Review of Today Tonight Tomorrow by Rachel Lynn Solomon

     Today Tonight Tomorrow by Rachel Lynn Solomon is a fiction book starting with the high school rivalry between a boy named Neil and a girl named Rowan. The two teenagers have had a brutal competition between them since the start of high school, and at the start of the book it's the end of senior year and all Rowans wants to do is beat her long-willed enemy one more time. The last thing she wants to beat him in being is the Valedictorian, although she finds out early into the day that Neil has beaten her. After she is eternally crushed by her loss, there is one more thing that she thinks she has a strong chance of winning. The Senior Howl is a city-wide scavenger hunt where people can be tagged out of play. Because the whole grade knows that Neil and Rowan always win, they want the two to be taken out. Because of this, the two have to team up to be able to survive in the game. This scavenger hunt goes on, and with their quirky chemistry and brains, it gives for an entertaining series of events showing their relationship.
 

    Although this book has a lot of funny banter, it also delves into the more serious topic of graduating high school and leaving a lot behind. I really liked this book because although the two main characters started as enemies, it was a classic story trope of enemies to lovers, which is also super fun to read. Even though there were some serious topics mentioned, for the most part, it was fun and light-hearted with an interesting setting of an entire city. One thing I didn't like about this book is its time restrictions. It only spanned 24 hours which made the book feel like something was almost missing. I would have liked to see more of what happened after the 24 hours, and maybe even what happened before the last day of their senior year. 

    Overall Today Tonight Tomorrow by Rachel Lynn Solomon was a cute, YA romance, enemies-to-lovers trope, book. I strongly recommend reading this book if you've read things like Love and Gelato, or any other YA romance book! 

Score: 9.5/10                                                        -Ava Roberts

The basics to photography: "Photo Basics"

Image
         This blog is going to be about my thoughts on the beginner’s guide to photography, Photo Basics. This book is written by Joel Sartore, a photographer and contributor to National Geographic, and is a tutorial on how to become a better photographer. I checked out this book over the summer because I was going on a road trip and wanted to take good photos. Although I had only been able to read the first 3 chapters before going, it still made my photos look much better.     The first chapter talked about the different components of a camera and equipment. It gave brief descriptions on the different types of cameras and talked about the anatomy of a DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera (one of the common ones). Then it discussed about different tools for stabilization (tripods), lighting, lenses, and other gear that Sartore found helpful in his experiences. But the most important part about this chapter (at least to me), was the sectio...

Why Greg Heffley is an Unreliable Narrator and is Also Possibly the Worst Character in Literary History

Image
       The first sentence in the entire series of Diary of a Wimpy Kid is Greg Heffley forcefully telling the audience what to believe. “First of all, let me get something straight: This is a JOURNAL, not a diary.” Greg Heffley does not let the reader come to any ideas on their own, and instead is instructing the reader on what to believe. This singular sentence sets up the reader with this feeling that Greg Heffley is not going to be a humble, selfless narrator. This demanding, entitled, selfishness is something repeated in Heffley’s narration over and over as the first book goes on and other books come out. In just the second page of the first book, Heffley flaunts his ego by claiming that one day he will be rich and famous, and have better things to do than answer stupid peoples questions. Which means he was basically announcing that he viewed himself smarter than the greater majority of the entire world. On that same page he claims to be the smartest at his schoo...

I Read the Hunger Games in One Night, Was it Worth It?

Image
  The motivation for this journey spiraled from a conversation in which my lack of reading the Hunger Games was mentioned, and my mother insulted me for not reading “pivotal works of literature for gen-Z.” So, for some reason that made more sense at the time, I made myself a challenge. I would read the entirety of the Hunger Games (first book) before I saw her the next day.  Now the first issue I encountered in this journey was getting hold of a book. I did not own a copy, it was far too late at night to go buy one, and it was crucial that I read it that night. Luckily, this issue was easily combated by the internet’s vast libraries and E-books (and I definitely didn’t just find an illegal PDF online).  Prior to starting the novel, I could tell it was going to be a rough start as it was already almost 1:00 am, and I knew I would have to lock in if I wanted to finish it in time to get some sleep. There was also the imminent danger of wrecking my sleep schedule past repair ...
