The Ultimate
Book 50 of the Animorphs. This was a lot more dark than previous releases as the Animorphs prepare for the endgame. I am not sure if this was a vague attempt to say everyone regardless of disability has worth, but I think it fails its point. Still recommend you read it.

Book 7 of the Wings of Fire series. As has been the themes as we go, this time we dig into the icewing dragons. I love the varied cultures as we go from tribe to tribe. I like how this compares to segregation and racism in the day. Little on the nose to have the…

I think this should be companion reading to anyone reading How To Win Friends and Influence People. This book talks about how to foster the various relationships we find ourselves in.
