So, My reviews aren't really long because I use the app more than the website and I have so much trouble typing on a phone anyway...

I really, really like this series!

My stepmom wants me to branch out of middle school books hence The Selection, The Twisted Tales, and the Disney Villians series. Browsing Amazon for quarantine reads I remembered the Gallagher Girls a series recommended to me in high school. I owned books three and five (Long story) so I hunted down the rest. I'll be honest, it isn't often that I dislike a book and this trend continues! I'm head-over-heels in love with Gallagher girls!

Told from Cammie's POV her little quips and 'fast-facts about the world drew me in and made me devour the first book and this one. It was amazing, it was intense, a nice roller-coaster ride and I can't wait to see where the next one goes (Already on chapter five)

Yes, I recommend the book!

1994 | Documentary, Drama

"For the early part of my life, I was almost exclusively interested in sports (basketball in particular). I wanted to play professional basketball, and I really couldn’t imagine doing anything else with my life. My love of the game never quite recovered after viewing Hoop Dreams near the end of eighth grade. It exposed something fundamentally flawed about organized athletics. I still tried out halfheartedly for the high school basketball team, but when I didn’t make the cut, I never looked back. My obsession switched almost overnight from sports to films. I wound up, coincidentally, studying film at Southern Illinois University, where Steve James had studied almost two decades before. The school hadn’t changed much, and I had many of the same classes and professors that he did. I have gotten to know Steve over the years, but I don’t think I’ve ever told him that he might be responsible for leading me from sports to films."
