The List by Siobhan Vivian
The book is about a list that's for the prettiest and ugliest. No one knows who can make the list. To some it doesn't matter but for some it can ruin their popularity.

It's a good movie with a lot of cliffhangers with some action from your favorite superheroes vs. some new villains. Now you decide who wins.
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
This heart filling book will make you not want to put it down. It is about love, courage, bravery and standing up for who you are. Lina has been vowing to take care of her family, but will she be able to promise to do that?

The Pros of Cons by Alison Cherry, Lindsay Ribar, and Michelle Schusterman
Three different girls, three different conventions, one convention center. When Phoebe, Vanessa, and Callie's conventions go dangerously wrong, there's only one cure: new-born friendship. A Nair-ed up turkey, an over-estimated relationship, and a messed up night is a great plot that made me laugh, cry, and relate.

The Unlikely Spy by Daniel Silva
It was a really good book, and I would recommend it if you enjoy historical fiction. It takes real stories and answers all your questions from WWII and shows you how British Intelligence won the war.
