A five-star rating doesn't even do this book justice. In the Wild Light by Jeff Zentner is easily one
of my all-time favorite novels because of the way his writing flows perfectly and creates such a
heartfelt story. I fell in love with the characters and I've held onto many quotes from the book as
well. This is such a moving and emotional book and I hope that it touches other peoples' hearts
the same way it did mine.
Colleen Hoover has created yet another heart-wrenching, plot-twisting, edge-of-your-seat novel
that I couldn't put down after the very first page. The relationship between Fallon and Ben, the
two main characters, is so complex and every chapter unravels something new and intriguing
about their unusual connection. I loved how this book was written because there was lots of
room for me as the reader to use my imagination for what could happen next. It is truly
one-of-a-kind and I highly recommend this book to any fellow Colleen Hoover fan or to anyone

Macbeth is a tragedy written by Shakespeare, loosely based on Scottish history. It follows
Macbeth and his wife Lady Macbeth on their trials of prophecy. The Macbeth’s deal with a
self-fulling prophesy of gaining and loosing power as foretold by the staple three witches.
Personally I believe that Macbeth is an important piece of literature. Its historical impacts and
influences made it an important piece of work at the time, and it still has reference to today. But
