The first books in Stuart Gibbs's three series with Simon and Schuster in one paperback collection. You've got Belly Up, about the murder of a hippo at the new mega FunJungle. Then you'll join Spy School with Ben. Finally, you'll journey to the first colony on the moon and solve a murder there.
All three of these books are delightful. The characters are strong and the plots move forward quickly with great twists and turns. No matter what your age, you'll turn these pages as quickly as possible and then move on to the other books in these series.

Lot's of humor but tons of heart to boot.
Come join the congregation!
I am a proud member of the Penn's Sunday School Congregation. I look forward to this show dropping each week and listening again on Wednesday when we get our second dose. The topics vary greatly and their is never a dull moment.
As someone who has been listening since day one, it has been amazing to watch the structure of the show, the topics on the show change over time. Though PSS started as an atheist podcast it has changed to be so much more.
Give it the three episode challenge and see if you are not hooked.

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Columbine in Books
Jul 10, 2018
I was in grade school when the events of Columbine happened. There was no way to escape the horrendous details that happened at Columbine. I still have snapshot memories associated with the news reports. The events at Columbine have always made me queasy but I have always wanted to learn more.
This book was horrifying but beautifully researched. I have to admit, I've owned this book for many years and I finally sat down and read/listened to it. Honestly, this was one of the hardest books I have ever listened to.
I would recommend this book to many people. It's a fascinating read for any fan of true crime, criminology, social psychology, and general sociology.

Another Potter
Harry Potter. The small boy with the lightning-shaped scar and the broken glasses made my childhood days magical and filled with hope that someday my letter to Hogwarts would come.
Alas my dream never came true, although every time there is post I secretly pray there is a piece of parchment sent to me by the wizarding school, apologising for it being late (11 years late!) that there was a clerical error made by one of the owls but if I would accept they would love to have me at Hogwarts.
Naturally, I would not say yes the first time...I do love being chased!

World of Crash
Remember the old Crash games? Where it was rather simple to complete the levels.
Well think again about the new and improved ?
Some levels you can comomete and think oh wow i did it with no deaths and all my lives!
And some bring on gamer rage!
The graphics on the new game is amazing and it's like you can actually reach out and pet Crash. Which in all fairness I think everyone would do if we had the oppertunity!
This game is recommended by myself to all of those old school gamers who want to bring back memories of the old days!

Why didn't I watch this sooner???
If you're like me, your high school years were not perfect and you always felt a bit like a weirdo or an outsider. If so, you'll enjoy this movie. It's hard not to love these characters. They seem vapid at the start of the film but towards the end, you see their love for each other and the kindness in their hearts. Throughout the movie, you see their friendship and support of each other. It's a sweet movie. Being a child of the 80s, I love the 80s references. Janeane Garofalo's character is funny in a dark way. And, OMG, there's everything to love about Alan Cumming. I adore him.

Stylized 80s Italian horror at its finest
It's hard to believe Jennifer Connelly was ever that young!
Director Dario Argento's interesting tale of a young American girl with unusual powers who comes to attend a European boarding school is interesting and very unusual at the same time. After a series of murders, the girl has to decide if her abilities will help her or it's just time to get out.
The film's rock score is intense and backs up the ominous visuals and striking sets and lighting. Certainly campy by today's standards, it still is an entertaining watch for those who enjoy out-of-the-box storytelling.

The Boy in the Cuckoo-Clock
This is the story about a boy that was born in the coldest day ever, and his heart froze, so, to save his life, the nurse replaced his heart for a Cockoo-Clock. The story is written by the boy perspective and it’s sweet the innocent way he thinks and feels.
“I wanted to go to school. I mean, who never tried strawberry’s with sugar wouldn’t order it for desert.”
He falls in love with this girl with big glasses. And it’s the story about how him and his Cockoo-Clock react to the way he feels about every feeling love can give

Love it
I love that I can have a playlist for every thing I do. Mood music for reading and gaming. Hang out the kids or friends. It is wonderful to get enjoy all the music from my school days when ever I want. This is really worth the small amount they charge for the premium account. Give it a shot and enjoy the sound waves.
