Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated We're Not from Here in Books

Dec 31, 2019

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I really, really loved this book. I have a thing for kids books that don't treat their audience like they need to be spoon-fed.

The story starts with Lan and their family going to the planet Choom after being in a sleep for decades.
Unfortunately the government has changed and the Hunan's are no longer welcome.
What happens next is an very well written story of xenophobia and the friendships with the aliens.

There's some pretty dark humor which I'm all about. I really enjoyed Lan and Marfs relationship!

Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated Summer of 84 (2018) in Movies

Jul 2, 2019

In June of 1984 two huge events occured. One being my birth, but the other not quite as great, as there was a serial killer on the loose in Cape May. Four 15 year old boys, who were like The Monster Squad meets The Hardy Boys, know that every serial killer is someone's neighbor, and they think their neighbor fits the bill. Unlike the kids on the milk cartons, Summer of 84 is not to be missed. Just as every 15 year old boy is excited about spying on the hot girl across the street and seeing her change clothes, you should be just as excited to see Summer of 84.

Easy to set up. And easy to play. (1 more)

Build quality is very good.

When built it doesn't fit in its box. Not really an issue. (0 more)

Fun family/kids game

Loopin' Louie was bought for our boys from an avid board game player. The idea is to knock each other's chickens off the roof tops of their coupe's, you knock them off using Louis's airplane that spins in the centre of the game. You have to defend your chickens by flipping Louis in the air making him do some terrific aerial manoeuvres, and hopefully knocking off chickens from an opponent roof top. A great giggle of a game.

Wonderful, heartwarming movie

Just finished watching and had to write a review. This was so beautifully done. It was about the man who interviewed Mr.Rodgers for a magazine article and the lessons he learned from him. Tom Hanks was amazing as Mr. Rodgers. It also made me remember my childhood and the things I loved about Mr.Rodgers. I had a tough time as a kid, i had seizures and kids made fun of me. I remember Mr. Rodgers having children on the show with disabilities and it made me not feel alone. I really loved this movie. It had a good lesson to it too.
