Journeys in the form of words
"Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery, and I promise you something great will come of it." - Benjamin Mee (We Bought a Zoo) If you crave science fiction, fantasy, action, or murder and mayhem, this might not be the movie for you. I …
"Life is not about what you can achieve, it is what you can become." I am not sure who is responsible for this gem, but I can tell you that I first heard it during a viewing of the movie "American Underdog." While it was not the best movie I have ever seen, I did …
I find myself wanting to write about anything and everything. I am also constantly combating the thoughts of "what do I really have to say" and "why should anyone want or need to read what I have to say." At the same time, I know that I have something positive to contribute and optimistic that, …
I did it! I finally did it! It was tough and I am still full of skepticism and doubt, but I decided to break the venomous cycle that I have been stuck in. For several years, I have been working jobs strictly for, or based on, the money, benefits, or both, without the proper regard …
The 100: Day 21 is a great addition/continuation to the series. Just as much drama, suspense, and intrigue as the first book. There are definitely some cliffhangers, but they are not intolerable or annoying. It leaves you wanting more. I don't have much to say other than this book keeps the story going and is …
Book 7 of 2023 The 100 was a better read than I was anticipating. I enjoyed the first few seasons of the show but I eventually lost interest. The book is a little easier to get through, and in my opinion, much more enjoyable. The storyline of the book made more sense and was much …
Book 6 of 2023 The Alchemist has to be among my absolute favorites. If I was not trying to stick to the simplicity of a scale of 1 - 5 I would have rated this book even higher. I first read this book back in 2015, but it is one of those books that is …
Book 5 of 2023 The Last Star is the conclusion to The 5th Wave book series. I am at a loss for words to be honest. Before I began reading this series, I had high hopes. I was expecting a books series with such good reviews to blow my mind at least a little. Alas, …
Book 4 of 2023 The Infinite Sea was worth the read, but in all honesty, I didn't consider it to be an improvement on the first book. I plan on finishing the series, but this is definitely not a series that I would read again. I understand that it is a young adult book, but …
Book 3 of 2023 I am not going to go as far as saying that The 5th Wave wasn't a good book. It was worth reading once, but this is not a book I would consider reading again. I could see how people might enjoy it and I even, to an extent, see why Hollywood …
