Looking for a different kind of book that shows off kindness and friendship. I picked up a book called Journey to A New Earth that shows love and kindness through nature. It also shows it through the connection of each other.
This one is done beautifully and written well. They show that the light is shown through as all and we are all connected. Friendship and kindness are shown in this book. You can see what happens when something happens to another person or animal in this case.
What Penelope does to help Kobi is something we do not see often. But we should ask it something we all can do. We can listen to his story and maybe even help find his friends. We are from the same earth or place and we are all connected to the earth or and sky.
This book is also an exploration of what all new and what happens after a tragedy. We can all come together and work together. We can love and live together. Do you know that we connect through life-changing events and learn to find ways to persevere and save the earth through this? We are connected to each other along the way.

What would I do without it
I love my Netflix, we don't pay for a TV licence and this is all we use. My child has no idea what an advert is and likes having their own profile. The recommendations are usually accurate and always changing. We recently went abroad and just downloaded a load of movies to watch on the tablet while we were away and had no data. Perfect for the rainy days. The only down side is I can spend ages trying to decide what to watch and have several things on my to watch list that I don't actually get around to watching. The new one episode a week thing is annoying too, as I can't binge as much as I want but still wouldn't get rid of it.

Apr 4, 2021 (Updated Apr 4, 2021)
Bear in mind when I say this movie is very good, I mean for what it is, not that I compare it in greatness to Casablanca or Citizen Kane. It's funny, rude, dirty, and dark, and some nights, that's just what we need. Aubrey Plaza is a weirdo and we love her. Anna Kendrick has more talent than should be allowed by law. She sings, dances, acts, tweets. What can't she do? Adam Devine is another weirdo. We loved his character on Modern Family and also his standup sets. Zak Ephron, though I don't consider myself a huge fan of him, am always impressed with his talent (and amazing good looks.) So, the movie has a good cast and a good premise, sit back and let these weirdos go.
Tender by Shai Amit (#promotion) This book looks like it a story about a young boy. This young boy goes on a journey of his life. We see how deals with his growing up. We also see how he deals with all kinds of emotions from death, to finding his love of this life. We get in an depth of how you can destroy your own spirit. We get to learn and get try and get understanding. We also see his success and many crashes. He learn even what love is like or is and though friendships. You could be looking and end up emptying your spirit of that love. You really can not say it based on one thing. It goes about this with giving you different way as it could be about yourself. The rating I would give this is a 4.5 moons. The reason for this is that I really did not get what most of it was about except that it might be a romance. I do know it a little more about trying to understand himself and what love is about. Well that's want I think if about. You can destroy yourself be giving all the time and not know if it really love that doing the drive or if it sex driven drive. This book I would suggest only be for Adults that are 18 and up. There a few words in here that are not for young adults. These words are a bit sexual. I have parents be advised and I will let you decide for your Teenagers if this book is appropriate. To me I advise for this to be for Adults ages from 17 and up.

Lindsay (1693 KP) rated For Every Season (Amish Vines and Orchards, #3) in Books
Feb 15, 2018
This the best series I have read. Though I have read other series. I love this book because it is just different and I love that it is catching and keeps me to be surprised. I like getting to know each person in the book and in detail. It also keeps me wanting more and making me wait for the next book for more.
The author is great in this. You learn new secret and new storylines that are dealt with. We find out if Jacob can free himself of his past along with Ronda. Ronda learn that her gift from god and what do with it or at least some of it. Will Ronda and Jacob be together in future. You will need to read it to find out for yourselves.
Do they learn what kind of relationships they each want. Samuel, Jacob and Ronda all need to figure it all out. I wonder where each one will go and who will choose who or what path they decide to take. If you have not read this series. I would recommend it that you do. The series starts with the book "A Season for Tending".

Great worker placement for beginning gamers (1 more)
The Art is Great!
Great Gateway Game: In the stone ages, you send your village out to accomplish different things
Worker placement is essentially you being the boss, and you tell people what to do, and you do this by putting your people in different areas like hunting for food, cutting down wood, building a farm, making tools, or maybe even making some more villagers (brown chicken, brown cow) You roll the dice to see how good your workers are at the jobs you assign them. This is a great version of this genre of game, It also has an ipad app we love as well. The expansion is out of print and very expensive, but we would love to own it when it gets reprinted.
