World Book Day

     Happy World Book Day! I think it is fitting that World Book Day is the day after Earth Day. Books make Earth a better place to be. While some books are not necessarily about Earth, all literature conveys its own philosophy on human existence. I love books. I have always loved books. I will forever love books; however, this is not the case for everyone. In the spirit of World book Day, this blog's mission is to instill a love of books in everyone. It can be all books. It can be two books. If this blog provides a person with one positive experience with literature it will have fulfilled its mission. 

     Here is what I call my "personal favorites" bookshelf. Housed on this virtual shelf are the books (I did include a play adapted to book form.) I think should be honored most on World Book Day.

Author Spotlight: Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

Kimberly Brubaker Bradley At my school, I am a Library Leader. (Library Leaders promote reading in the middle school and recommend books for the younger grades.) The Library Leaders had the fortunate opportunity of eating lunch and meeting with Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. We got to ask her questions and just talk with her. Mrs. Bradley also spoke to the whole seventh and eighth grade in assembly about her research. 1)      When/How does she write? Mrs. Bradley writes in the morning, but this depends on her chores for the day. She got into her routine when her children, now graduating college and out of college, were small and went to school. She would always wait until her husband took them to drop them off at school. She likes for her writing space to be very quiet. She prefers typing when she when she writes as to writing. (This may be pretty common; I do not know what the common format among writers is today. I just thought I would include eve...

2020 So Far In Books

Thus far this year, I have read more books than in any previous year, recorded on this blog or not. Whether my goal to read a lot this year or quarantine fueled my reading, my list is long (not the longest, but long enough to be very proud of). I will start doing these reports on a regular basis. It keeps me accountable to you all in my reading.  I have read 15 books as of the end of July 2020. Here are a couple of charts and statistics that represent the group.  Links of those that I HAVE reviewed are below: http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/07/the-murder-on-links.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/07/an-inspector-calls.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/07/all-kings-men.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/07/head-over-heels.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-great-gatsby.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-man-in-high-castle.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-abc-murders.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-importance-of-be...

The Inheritance Games

 Hello readers! I have not posted in a while as you are all aware. Junior year is no joke. Between making time to read or making to post, I have chosen reading for the past month. I have not stopped reading/listening to audiobooks but I have not written a review in quite a while. I'm back! SUMMARY "Part The Westing Game , part We Were Liars , completely entertaining." -- Kirkus Reviews Avery lives out of her car. She is very close to her sister and is a top student, but has a strange life to an outsider looking in. With her mother dead and her father missing, Avery lives a complicated and hard, but routine life. One day Avery is barely making ends meet, the next she is on a plane to the Hawthorne House, the mansion and estate of Tobias Hawthorne the Texas billionaire. One day Avery doesn't have a house, the next she is the beneficiary of the late Tobias Hawthorne's fortune. The list of questions/'catches' is long. (1) Avery doesn't know and has never k...
