The Sound of My Voice
By Ron Butlin
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Morris Magellan has a house in the suburbs, nice wife and kids. But Morris is also a chronic alcoholic, heading fast towards self-destruction. Morris is not hoping to meet Ms. Right and acquire the two kids that will straighten everything out. He already has all this and it hasn't kept him off the bottle. Ron Butlin's tale of one man's inner turmoil is haunting, harrowing, yet strangely uplifting; a masterpiece from a neglected Scottish writer.
A glimpse into the mind of an alcoholic and how he sees the effects of his actions on his family. A different book to what I’m used to and I did find myself liking it.

Read Long Before the Movie
As a reading teacher for middle school I have been through more copies of this book than I can count. It is a fast paced book that reminded me a little of "Lord of the Flies" . In fact I recommended that book to kids who liked this but wanted a challenge.

Movies for kids have come a long way from the old damsel in distress blueprint. But this lapis little lady of the forest doesn’t get to color outside the lines.

As usual Rick Riordan does not disappoint! I am looking forward to see how this merges with Percy Jackson. I love all of these books because of the snarkiness of the characters that is not rude but funny and sarcastic. Also the fact that kids learn of mythology through these books is awesome. I hope he keeps them coming.

Makes you cry and makes you smile.
A wonderful kids' movie that went way deeper than expected. What was expected to be a light-hearted, funny movie, turned out to go into some very mature themes. It talked about grief, depression, and letting go, but still, has the funny comedy to go with it. Definitely, check it out.
The app you find all things you didn't know you needed. I started looking at it for craft ideas before I know it I have recipes, tattoos, hair styles. Any thing you need is on here with endless possibilities. Stuck for ideas for soggy kids holidays Pinterest is the place to go save ideas for later.

I loved the noir feeling of this show. I want to know about the other 36 kids. I liked how it ended. It can continue or not. Either way works. I love how the dynamic of the characters worked. Sound track... Phenomenal. Good humor.All in all good.
