good times yesterday – the band rocked – as per usu…
“the infinity year of avalon james” – okay – good for elem BOB – after reading it, it did bother me that infinity really had nothing to do with the book – but, i think it was a british author and they had a bad week with britxit so i’ll let it slide…
“good vibrations” – story of mike love and the beach boys – great book – something i could talk to my mom and dad about – sadly, most of the 1960s singers are dead – lots of them long dead – from drug/alcohol use – i now have the urge to listen to the beach boys stuff after pet sounds
and, best of all, i finally watched all three high school musicals – they were awesome – HSM, HSM 3, HSM 2 in order of preference – although, i LOVED sharpay’s hawaiian song in HSM 2 – thoughts?
these are the days that fry men’s souls – b/c it’s just that hot…
“an ember in the ashes” – i’m sure you’ll all love it – i would guess it’ll be the next movie to go see after divergent and hunger games – but it gets a “blah” from me – first off, how many futurist novels do we need to read that are set in the middle ages? isn’t that like a contradiction? second, why would you take your top 4 people to be your next emperor and then have them kill each other off? it was like the hunger games except the games kept not killing them – and what does it mean to be an ember in the ashes anyway? that you survived a fire? that you’re hot? that you were a chop off the old block?
“marcelo in the real world” – wow, what a book – just great – but really only those of you that are very bright will get and appreciate the book – b/c there isn’t romance – and the POV is from an autistic 18 year old – and most of you want a middle school girl or boy battling insecurity and romance – but i absolutely loved the book – and that most of the book was set in a boston i know about b/c of the marathon – and that the author lived in mobile and was a part of the charity – L’Arche – that i run for every january
i blame adison and act prep – too much reading practice just got me in the mood…
“shoe dog” – great biography – the founder of nike – great business book – great sports book – great running book – great book on life – sort of the idea that greatness – great lives – come about from a struggle – that too often we give up when we should keep pressing on
“serpent king” – great recommendation for high school BOB – great recommendation for gifted middle school – three friends in rural tennessee lean on each other through their senior year – really enjoyed this book and would love for you all to read it
“cross over” – mr. scott’s book – he used in in his class – i could see why – best of all, it only takes a day to get through
“goodbye stranger” – from the author of “when you reach me” – good book – a good middle school BOB choice – very recommendable
hope everyone’s enjoying reading – and summer – that too
