- Bitter is the New Black by Jen Lancaster 2006
- Jen Lancaster’s trademark smart-mouth style shines in this memoir, documenting how she went from living the high life
to scraping by. The subtitle—Confessions of a Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smartass, or, Why You Should
Never Carry a Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office—is a great indication of what you’re in for.

- The Humans by Matt Haig (2013)
- This novel is told through the perspective of an alien who is observing humans while on a dark mission on Earth. It's
sometimes hard to believe that the narrator is a visitor—and not just a misanthrope, saying things like "the manners and
social customers...are a baffling enigma at first. Their conversation topics are very rarely the things they want to be
talking about." In the end, The Humans is a humorous examination of humanity.

- The Wild Places by Robert Macfarlane 2007
- In an absorbing example of travel writing and nature writing, Macfarlane embarks on a quest to find and “map” the
dwindling wild places of the British Isles; each chapter is dedicated to a different place. The prose is gorgeous but
tempered. Macfarlane is good at knowing how and when to move between description, narrative, and thematic content,
such as natural history, conservation, and stories of writers influenced by landscape.

- he moral lesson in the story is that there are consequences in the mistakes you do.
Those consequences are not revenge, but it is for us to learn our lessons and that we will
know better the next time. As for the bug, he has work hard in order to get back what he
wants.
- In real life, we do make mistakes, we hurt people and lose their trusts. We end up doing
the consequences and try hard to earn their trusts just like the firefly in the story.
- Most importantly, we have to be careful on what we're gonna say. We use our mouth to
speak our mind but sometimes, we go overboard and hurt them with our words. In one
song it says, "Words cut deeper than a knife." Let that be a reminder so we avoid hurting
other people's feelings.
