Option 1

 * Article title
 * The Glass Castle
 * Article Evaluation
 * Currently this article is rated C-Class on the project's quality scale. Currently there is controversy around the image used to display the cover page of the book. However, this is not what I would hope to focus on. This book has been challenged multiple times due to its "disturbing content," which includes explicit language, abuse/neglect, and mentioning of sexual assault. In the reception portion of this article, the New York Times is directly quoted. There is no mention of any other reviews. There is also no analysis, publication, or background section. Having read this book and understanding that it is a memoir, I believe there is a lot of content that could be added.
 * There are also very few citations in the article.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * The Giver
 * Article Evaluation
 * Currently this article is rated C-Class on the project's quality scale. In the talk page there is discussion around whether spoilers should be added. They landed upon writing a spoiler notice; however, I personally find this unnecessary and unprofessional. If a person is reading a "plot summary" they should inherently know that the book will be spoiled. In the background section there seems to be a mixture of genre and an analysis of the content. I am unsure whether this works. In the literacy significance and criticism, there is little note about all the criticism.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo
 * Article Evaluation
 * Currently this book is rated a B-Class Article. In my previous analysis of the article I stated: "There is a heavy emphasis on the controversy surrounding this book; however, it does not have to do with same-sex marriage or the LGBTQ+ community, but rather John Oliver and his team mocking Vice President Mike Pence. This may be a gap in the writing of this article, specifically in the analysis section. "Children who do feel out of place may have a hard time handling that. Twiss was hoping for a bit of satisfaction or contentment for those kids when reading about two same-sex bunnies marrying each other. The book takes a position against laws and actions against LGBTQ rights. These themes consist of respect, approval, and equality. This children's book is a way to show young people that "love is forever and be proud of who you are". The book is a presentation to delve into LGBTQ relationships and that 'true love will always win out'."[3] In this quote, there are no wiki links to LGBTQ relationships or rights, which, if provided, could lead to a greater understanding of why this book is controversial because of its dealing with this subject, rather than just being controversial for its association with Vice President Pence."
 * I also believe that the reception section could be updated, as it hasn't been worked on since 2019.
