Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
Or did she?
This is the story of Lizzie Borden and what happened that fateful day when her father and step-mother were brutally murdered. Did she do it or did someone else? All throughout the book, you are second guessing what you know. Did Lizzie do it? Or was it her Uncle? Was it the maid? Was it a drifter? It is difficult to assess whether Lizzie really did it, although she is a weird one and you are left saying to yourself, there is no doubt this whack job (must be where the term comes from) did it.
For the author to dive into the mind of Lizzie Borden is a scary feat. I am actually surprised she made it out alive.

Touted as one of the most important books all businesses need their workers to read, “Who Moved My Cheese?” is about change. In business and in life, we need to learn to adapt to change or be left out. Businesses need to evolve in order to survive. Along with that, employees need to grow and change. If you don’t change as technology advances, you could be without a job. This book tells the parable of four mice running a maze. When they discover a huge block of cheese, they stay until the cheese runs out. It’s what happens when the cheese runs out that is a very important lesson.
This book is set to be released 
This is the new 1994 of our age. This YA book is 1984 for our kids. Mixed with the realities of our age, this book explores a grim future for human beings after our world changes due to climate change. Letta is the new Wordsmith in one of the only civilizations left. She is responsible for creating The List, a set of words that each person is allowed to speak. They are not allowed to speak any words outside of The List. They believe that words were part of the world’s demise. Animals survived, but humans barely survived. Letta lives in a world where one man rules and will go through great lengths to keep the world safe, even if that means silencing and killing all of humanity. Letta and her new friends seek to save humanity, with that comes letting go of the establishment and safety to do what is right. One of the best books I’ve read in a long time. A book you will never forget (like 1984).
Oh, Apollo. Lester (aka the pimply teenage version of Apollo) finds himself in Indianapolis with Leo and Calypso. Their search for the second emperor Commodus (the Commodus of Gladiator fame) has them teaming up with two old acquaintances of Apollo. They need to free two griffins, find (and heal) a missing girl, and receive a prophecy from Apollo’s foreboding son. All the while, they have to stop an attack on the demigods’ safe haven. Of all of Rick Riordan’s characters, Apollo/Lester is the wimpiest one of them all, but he still manages to save the day.
