Brief Information I summarize from the book: S o a  thousand years ago, warrior Kage Hirotaka made a wish to Harbinger of Change in order to seek vengeance for the one who killed his family.

Photo credit: DillPickle Photography, O ver the course of two months I have read the Simonverse Series by Becky Albertalli. The first book I read that was written by Becky Albertalli was “The upside of unrequited,”. I really did enjoy reading this book and I believe I would like the other books. You know when I read “The upside of unrequited,” I didn't know it was apart of a book series. So, I guess I actually read the second book in Simonverse Series. Nevertheless, let continue my journey through the Simonverse Series. Simonverse Series by Becky Albertalli Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda  ( Simonverse Series #1) Credited : Goodreads I really like Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda and I think this is a really well written book.. Simon was a great character and liked being able to read through his perspective. I like Simon’s close relationship with his family and friends. The little family moments had me laughing.  The whole guessing game when trying to figure out Blue's identi

S o, on January, 04 /2020; I was supposed to hang out with my friends at 1:00 p.m. to go get lunch downtown. Anyway I wanted to go downtown early so I went o Starbucks and found out the distance from Starbucks to the place we were supposed to meet up  for lunch. The restaurant we was going to is called "Brunch" Anyway, here I am sitting in Starbucks drinking my cappuccino and eating a chocolate chip cookie. And I get a message saying that one of my friends could not make it to hang out; therefore, going to lunch was canceled until all three of us was free to meet up. H owe ver, in the first place I had made plans that I would go downtown because I wanted to go outside to get some air cause I kind of got sick a few days after Christmas. Photo taken by: LKG N evertheless, my first "Me Day" of 2020 started in Starbucks at 12:21. After leaving Starbucks I got on the bus and went to Barnes and Noble. In that moment of walking to B&N, I realized that forgo
