The Feast of Roses by Indu Sundaresan

"This book is about the Empress Nur Jahan of India, and how she made her mark on history in the mid 1500s. This is an inspiring story about an inspiring woman, who ruled an empire from behind a screen, a veil, a man, in a time that woman of her status were not considered capable of leadership. I believe this book is perfect for anyone interested in the historical aspect of Mughal India, and is also interested in powerful role models that have many life lessons to share.This book describes life in this time period from different perspectives and stages of life, while capturing the beauty and treachery of the royal courts."

Paper Towns by John Green

"Paper Towns is a fascinating mystery, teen novel. It contains many hilarious moments, and moments where you are on the edge of you seat. As it takes place in a high school, you can start thinking about how all the events that have happened, could possibly occur to you. This book is a fantastic read where the characters have conflicts within themselves, in which the readers can understand and feel their emotions as we have all been through it before, which makes us want to know, whats next.

A Silent Voice by Yoshitoki Oima

"This manga talks about real life struggles, which some readers can relate. They show the readers that they can go through those struggles, it talks about forgiveness and kindness. I recommend this manga series to anyone who goes through struggles in life or anyone in general."
