succinct, but dry, report of films based on books, and why you should make time for the books, focuses on quantity rather than quality; barely dipping into each entry before quickly moving on. serviceable...

It was an ok book and I liked the detail and explanation about his life, but it wasn't my favorite book.

Lunch Lady finds out that the mathletes from Willowby academy are not human. In the finals of a math competition Thomson Brook school beats Willowby who has never lost. The kids get mad and transform into aliens who try to steal their trophy. Thankfully, Lunch Lady came and defeated the mutants and their teacher, Mr. Addison. This was a great book and I enjoy this series very much.

It was wonderful. I liked the part where Alex became a fairy Godmother even though she was young.

Excellent. Discovered Mitch Albom this year and am thorougly enjoying each book I have read by him

Memory Kaleidoscope

diary of a wimpy kid third wheel is the 7th book of the series and it is so good this book is realistic fiction

Cute love story. Another light read by Colleen Hoover.

The main character is Brystal Evergreen. In this book Brystal starts out as a normal girl. As a girl she liked to read books,but her kingdom doesn’t allow females to read. Since she can’t read she applies to a job at the library dusting . One day she finds a magical book.A couple days after she finds herself learning how to be a fairy and learning all kinds of magic,and she has many adventures after.I liked this book because it was entertaining,fun,and suspenseful. I didn't have one favorite part of the book because I liked all of it. There are also The Tale Of Witchcraft,and The Tale Of Sorcery if you are looking for more books like the Tale Of Magic.

I also wanted to love this book. It was an ambitious project, to weave an allegory based on the entire Bible, climate crisis, and End Times. I ended up feeling a little terrified (is that possible?), not so much by the apocalyptic events, but by the dynamic between the "wise" adolescents and the drugged/drunk/sex-crazed parents. The smug adolescents seemed just as unanchored morally, as they also dallied in drugs, sex, and drinking, although they were the "remnant" responsible for carrying on society post-storm. The book ended up with Eve (!) the main character, telling her brother he was right, Jesus is science and the Holy Ghost is the "things people make" or "art." The allegory and this conclusion felt altogether forced. I couldn't identity the Jesus character in this or understand how you can make an allegory of Christianity without the centrality of the cross or something cross-like? I'm not sure where I would have been located in this novel (which was a National Book Award Finalist). Maybe just swept out to sea with the other miscellaneous adult bodies. I accept that my generation added to the climate crisis and don't want to minimize this overarching idea. I also accept that the Bible gives believers responsibility for care of God''s world with His help. Maybe this is what allegory is meant to do, irritate us to action. After all, Jonathan Swift didn't really want people to eat babies.
