Lindsay (1812 KP) rated All the Stars in the Sky: The Santa Fe Trail Diary of Florrie Mack Ryder (Dear America) in Books

Feb 15, 2018

This book is different then others I have read. For the format is in Diary setting. Though I understood the story behind it. This was great read. It told more of the history of the Trail. It about a girl that goes though the some hardships and adjustments.

Florrie and her family travel from Arrow Rock, Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Florrie and her brother Jem need to adjust to having a stepfather named Mr. Ryder. You learn a lot about the daily life of being on the Santa Fe Trail back in 1848.

Most of this dairy tell you the History of America during that time. Most of the dairy is down on the trail of The Santa Fe Trail. Though that like to learn about America History, this is good for young readers.

Amanda Mahaffey (3 KP) rated The Heart Between Us: Two Sisters, One Heart Transplant, and a Bucket List in Books

Mar 15, 2018

In this book these two sisters go on a great adventure with the bucket list that was given to Megan by her donor. They reconnect after years being disconnected with each other due to regrets and misunderstandings. They both learn about each other and themselves in this journey running into new people and old friends. This book was a great reminder who is in charge of my life. I sometimes struggle with control, trust, and worry with my family, job, and relationships. I am constantly wondering what could go wrong or did I make the right decision. I sometimes forget like the sisters do in this book who is in charge which is God. Sometimes we get so wrapped up trying to take control of our lives we forget He may have a better plan for us.

Sweet and heartwarming

I think I am in love with Saoirse Ronan. She played this character with such charm and grace I was rooting for her almost immediately.

After a young Irish girl leaves her family to come to the US, she meets a young man who falls for her. Tragedy strikes back at home and the young woman has to make some difficult choices and decide what makes her happy.

Who says you need lots of characters, a complicated story and/or CGI characters to make a movie great? This movie has none of those things yet I thought it was very satisfying. I was hoping she would decide her life in a certain way and was happy when she did.

The movie looked marvelous and the acting was all great!

Feel Goof Fun

Yaaaaaas Queen! Such a lovely program. Every episode, the Fab Five take a person (gay, strait, undecided, it don matter!) And give them a makeover. But this is not just any makeover, they cover hair, clothes, home, diet and emotions. Each member if the 5 is in charge of a different element, and they get to the rout of the person's issues, address them, and work with them to turn their life around.
These are usually people who have been through it, who have been sposered by family or friends who want to help.
They seem to care so much, realy take care of them, and have fun with it!
This was my go to program while I had the pregnancy blues, and I found it so uplifting, though I did tear up on occasion.
Love love LOVE it!

Pretty good

Another movie about people with special abilities- but not superheroes. A slightly more realistic take on how society might handle people like this. Not as flashy as most, but with decent effects and cinematography. At it's surface it tells a story about a young man trying to save his ailing mother. Something that leads him down a bad road. The acting in this movie was decent with some familiar faces. This movie has heart, life lessons learned through trials of trust and personal choices. In the end I think the story was a little more tragic than I expected of it. Nothing too flashy or gruesome, so it can be watched with the whole family(although the younger viewers may not understand all of it). Overall, this one is worth a watch on movie night!
