A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage is not the typical history read that one might expect. To some who find reading history books quite tedious and overwhelming, this book is for you. Standage divides his book into 6 main sections via beverages: Beer, Wine, Spirits, Coffee, Tea and Coca-Cola.

In The Looking Glass Wars Beddor uses conflict and to reveal how Alyss changes and becomes more mature. In the beginning of the novel Alyss is characterized as childish, immature, and Spoiled. Beddor writes that instead of sitting through pageantry, “ She would rather have hidden with her friend Dodge in one of the palace towers, dropping jolly jellies from an open window and watching them splat on the guards below”.(Beddor 11) As Alyss is saying this, she is supposed to be doing pageantry but instead she wants to play with Dodge.
