Touching Tree Tale
I grabbed this book to read before making suggestions to my students and I fell in love with it. It is a wonderful tale of a town, girl and a tree full of animal friends. It takes a few chapters to get into, but once you get hooked, you can't put it down. The messages learned along the way are lessons that children... and many adults need to remember going through life. I really liked the concept of wishes and sharing them to allow others that feeling of being helpful. I suggest this book to any parent or teacher to read aloud. Amazing conversations will occur.

Good premise...bad ending.
Contains spoilers, click to show
I really hate when the movie is good and entertaining and then they just RUIN the ending! That's what this movie did. The whole point that they are making is that this social media platform is taking over people's lives and not being as helpful as they were intended and need to be stopped. But in the end, she shows the world that the leaders of the company have secrets and then SHE becomes the leader...making the social media platform bigger and more intrusive.
In my opinion, it is almost more satirical in making a comparison to a modern day "big brother"

Dark
I found this one on Netflix. It's fairly dark, but doesn't start off that way. Involves a woman and her boyfriend traveling through Bosnia when their car breaks down in the woods(filled with mines) and they meet a couple of Serbian men who claim to want to help but ignite memories from her childhood during the war. Her boyfriend finds out just what she's made of when the two men turn out to be not so helpful. Decent acting and cinematography. The story unfolds well. I doubt kids would be interested, but this movie is worth a watch. Very interesting tale.

The picky eater that I am, when I see a book such as this - that makes me want to eat everything on the page - they have surely outdone themselves! This is one of those books that seeing in eBook format makes me NEED to see and touch it. Images throughout this book are truly incredible - clean, fresh and beyond appealing. Love the simple, clean country look. Contains many incredibly helpful tips and techniques for both cooking and kitchen, that every cook or baker would benefit from as well as a collection of both basic and creative recipes! Steps are wonderfully detailed and illustrated - truly a work of art!

Love. I'm hosting a book giveaway on my blog, so check it out. Here is the first paragraph of my review: Happiness, when you have a chronic illness it seems like an impossible defeat. Although Lee’s book is not geared towards those of us who have chronic illness. I still learned a great many things. Even her suggestions were helpful, at least for me they were. They reminded me of some key things in my life that I would do to thank Jesus for things, to express my happiness to those around me, and even to be content in who I am in Jesus.
