 | Books to Read if You Love Squid Game Everyone's talking about Squid Game, and for good reason: it's utterly impossible to stop watching. Squid Game is not new. Sure, the series is quite new, but the script was written more than a decade ago, in 2007. Hwang Dong-hyuk wrote it with inspiration from books like Liar Game or Battle Royale. He has never imagined the story would gain so much notoriety, fearing people would find it a bit weird and hard to understand. He failed to realize that his story would perfectly match today's society. The story features characters that everyone knows-people who struggle with money and debt, as well as people with regular jobs who do not have too many financial possibilities. The story is about the extreme battle in life and everyone goes through it. As the script emerged, the show became the ultimate Netflix hit.

 | In Memoriam-Gary Paulsen Gary Paulsen, a central figure in young adult fiction, winner of three Newberry Medals, and winner of a Margaret Edwards Award, among other honors, passed away on October 13, 2021. Gary Paulsen was famously of the Luddite persuasion, hating most anything technology related, although he did say TVs were at least fun to shoot. He chose to live in relative poverty with his wife in New Mexico, avoiding towns as much as he could, saying that was the only way he could think clearly. He claimed to not be a fan of the human species, with the only exception being children, the group he loved to write for the most. Hand a reluctant child reader a Gary Paulsen book, and you'll have a new convert to reading and a life changed. Gary Paulsen kept writing for children up until the very end: his last book How to Train Your Dad was published last month, September 2021. Check out his books here. |

| If books could have more, give more, be more, show more, they would still need readers who bring to them sound and smell and light and all the rest that can't be in books. The book needs you.-Gary Paulsen, The Winter Room
