Finding Jesus in Israel: Through the Holy Land on the Road Less Traveled by Buck Storm witty and poignant book. Buck Storm is the books tourist guide and takes the reader on a journey to locations and scenes off the well-traveled bus routes. Discover internal struggles of the people, the land and self mixed with humor and sadness as well. For those of us who dream of an Israel trip while reality deems that unlikely in this lifetime, this gem provides us with a glimpse of the landscape and climate: politically, socially and spiritually.

I received this ARC from Worthy Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Movie Rating

I'm a huge Emma Roberts fan so I was very excited to see this movie.
The premise of the game that is at the center of the movie is such a unique concept. It really takes the idea of social media to a new level and its something that I could totally see existing one day.
The main character is a shy, reserved character so the entire movie is out of character for her.
There is the perfect amount of action, drama and humor that kept me interested from beginning to end.
The appearance of Machine Gun Kelly will be entertaining for fans of his and he does quite a good job in the movie.
Definitely would recommend.

great cast

I really liked this movie! I was surprised at first. I'm not a Lego fan and I didn't understand how they could make it into a movie but I am so glad I gave it a chance. It is the right mix of adventure and comedy, something unique when you're thinking about a kid's movie.
My kids loved the main character and ran around singing the "Everything is Awesome" song for weeks after and I couldn't even be annoyed because that song is freaking catchy!
I would call this movie a must watch for parents of kids from about preschool age and up. Any younger and they won't really be drawn into it.

Book Rating

Nabari No Ou is a manga series about a middle school-aged boy that finds out that he holds a very sought-after secret power of a hidden ninja realm. While the book does contain some bloody and violent scenes, it also provides a look at school life, and plenty of humor. It's serious with a humorous overtone. The art is cute, and the book is pretty quick to read. However, you'll want to spend a little time studying the action in some of the drawings so that you don't miss what's going on. I wasn't sure what to expect from this manga, but I've been pleasantly surprised! It's definitely worth a read.

Love detective books with some humor in them? Then sneak a peek at the historical mystery novel BAYOU CITY BURNING by D. B. Borton on my blog! https://alltheupsandowns.blogspot.com/2020/03/book-blitz-bayou-city-burning-harry.html

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
Houston, 1961: comedy meets mystery and history. It's hard to be hard-boiled when your biggest fan and worst critic is your twelve-year-old daughter, especially when she's cracking your case for you and defending you from the bad guys, along with sidekicks human and feline.

Houston is still a cowboy backwater, but Texas politicians dream big. P.I. Harry Lark is out to save the city for President Kennedy's moon mission. Dizzy Lark is out to save Harry.

I didn't go into this expecting much
This movie was pleasantly surprising. In a world of continual reboots and retreads, it was a nice change of pace. The fact that the movie explored an entirely different aspect of the Jumanji game from the first movie was welcome.

The script was top notch. Each main character was well established and had good development throughout the movie. The humor is well balanced and the actors clearly gelled together well.

Was simultaneously upset and pleased by the fact that the trailers for the movie (to my recollection) made any effort to showcase Bobby Cannavale, who is in my opinion, by far the most skilled actor in the movie.
