[Tides of Possibility] is a anthology of science fiction short stories. I really enjoyed most of the stories and a few I would hope to see full length novels expanding on the stories.

A few of note:[The Color of Silence] by [Mandy Broughton] about compassion. [The Woman Who Wanted to Play Havisham] by [Haralambi Markov] which message seems to be, be careful what you wish for. [Imaginary Numbers] by [Corinn Heathers] which I would really love to see expanded to a novel with more a back story.

[Teachable Moments] by [Brandon Crilly] seemed to be my favorite though. Perhaps I am biased as a teacher and the title is a term we are not allowed to have in the classroom anymore thanks to the testing culture. The idea of a former teacher doing what is best for young people and by doing that he teaches them the biggest lesson of life.

I will be looking for more works from some of these authors. I could have done without the poetry though.

Engaging and humane look at what has always been a byword for fruitcake pseudoscience, and more specifically the people who promote these theories. Quite sensibly the film doesn't bother trying to explain to Flat Earth adherents why their beliefs are incorrect, but examines their culture from a not-unsympathetic sociological and psychological point of view; as a result the Flat Earthers are elegantly given more than enough rope to debunk themselves.

Still, with some of the personalities involved, the film can't help but be entertaining, and it does make some important points about the dangerous results of excluding and isolating people, and the importance of education rather than mockery. Has already been denounced as a hatchet job by people in the Flat Earth community, but then you could probably have guessed that. Highly entertaining and thought-provoking; possibly worth watching just for the scenes showing the reactions of Flat Earthers when their painstaking experiments to prove the world has no curvature predictably give the opposite result. You can't win 'em all, guys.

Abigail and the North Pole Adventure by Tali Carmi This is another quick read. It good for children. Children learn to use their imagination. It teaches your kids or children values and about giving a helping hand. It also teaches your children about making friendships. Each book tell you about a different place and culture. You learn about the animals and the habit of the folk that live in that area.The images are down really well. You can see what the description is talking about. This is good for children ages for young children. Parent can read this to their children. Kids can learn to read with these beginner books. Pictures are quite nice and understandable. This is also a good book for children that enjoy adventure books.I would recommend this book and this series to young readers and children learn to read. If you would like to check out my other review on a book in this series. Here the review to Abigail & Tropical Island adventure.

A love letter to the 80s and all things geek!
I love this book more than I can say. I think this is one of my favorite books of all time, to be honest. Ernest Cline did a great job at giving much needed kudos to the 80s and all things geek.

I have the physical, electronic, and audio editions of this book. I can’t get enough.


This book is fantastic for many reasons: the fact that there is something for the techy, the geek, the pop-culture guru, the romantic, or even the adventure seeker.


Set in the future where our world is lived in VR, Ernest Cline takes us on an adventure that teaches many of us to sit and think “Oh, man! Do I spend that much time with technology!?”, “What would I do with more cash than any sane person should have??”, or even “What would you do for love and friendship??”


This is an easy and fun read and I think that almost anyone would get some type of joy from reading(or listening) to Ready Player One.
