This book is very good, and the movie was almost as good as the book I thought. I like it because in the book, the way each chapter is set up, it is like different dates, and says "Dear friend..." And it kept me interested throughout the book.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
This book is very good, and the movie was almost as good as the book I thought. I like it because in the book, the way each chapter is set up, it is like different dates, and says "Dear friend..." And it kept me interested throughout the book.

It is a fun game where the player can join any game. The point of Roblox varies. In MAD games, you either play as the sheriff, the innocent, or the murderer. That game is one of the millions of trillions of games available.
Five Nights at Freddy's (game)
An indie point-and-click filled with mystery, horror, lore, backstories, and, most of all... BB!

If I Lie by Corrine Jackson
If I Lie is a wonderfully crafted novel about a senior named Quinn, who was caught cheating on her boyfriend, a US Marine. It is the story of her year, as she is harassed by the entire town she lives in. There is a lot of swearing, but the book focuses on the perseverance of the human spirit.
(Addition from Miss Jennie: I totally agree! This is one of my favorite stories - about loyalty, and lies, and perception.)
