Out of this World

Page Turner here.
It feels like forever since my last post! Well, six days anyway and a couple things have happened. I got to go see Inside Out! It was great, by the way, and I would heartily recommend it. (As long as you have tissues ready). Also, I noticed I've let the graphics and polls slide into disrepair, so get ready for some new polls, list, and stories. Okay, so I never really think its summer until its July. So on July first, I am going to have a new backdrop and graphics and colors and stuff celebrating Page Turner's Official Start of Summer Feeling. Lastly, I saw Venus and Jupiter last night. Did you know that Venus was named after the Roman god of love, because those who saw it thought it would be a beautiful sister planet to earth, due to its similar shape and size. In reality, Venus is a volcanic planet covered in carbon dioxide that traps in all its heat. It is like one big broiler, spewing lava and poisonous gases. Not exactly the lush green counterpart those star-gazers imagined, is it? Jupiter is the biggest planet. It's really cool, because God placed it near earth, so it would catch all of those deadly comets and meteors in its huge gravitational pull. Multiple comets and meteors have already been sucked in. Jupiter is a gas planet, and has 67 natural satellites.I saw these two amazing creations from my window last night, bright and twinkling in the night sky, and it was difficult to imagine them, us, rotating about the sun in the universe, on one of the many arms of our galaxy. Sometimes we can't see God, but He's always there, even when we forget. Even if we can't see Him, He will never leave or forsake us. Even though I couldn't see Venus or Jupiter before tonight from my window, they were still there. Deu.31:8  It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Hi, Page Turner here! I'm back for--guess what!--another book review. That's right, folks. Book reviews are now officially part of the blog and will be labeled under movie reviews. What's this one on? Just one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. Okay, so when I said 'graphic novel' I guess I should be more specific. According to the dictionary a graphic novel is "a novel in a comic strip format." This book combines pages with words with pages covered in beautiful drawings that tell a story almost as clearly as the aforesaid written pages do. If you haven't guessed it all ready, this is the story of "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." If this doesn't sound like your kind of book, does mystery, danger, an orphan kid living in a clock tower, an old man with a secret, the history and magic of movies, or a secret hidden in a metal automaton strike your fancy? Here's my review!                   ...

The Great Gatsby Book Review

Hi, Page Turner here. Today is the third book in the 30 series on “15 Books Every Person Should Read.” Yesterday was about The Giver by Louis Lowry. Today I’m going to be writing about The Great Gatsby. A beloved, gritty classic about the 1920s, I read this book a few years ago and have been captured by its message ever since. I hope you enjoy today’s book review!                                         The Great Gatsby—a Book Review       The 1920s, dubbed the Roaring Twenties, has captured the imaginations of generations. Twinkling lights, flapper dresses, jazz, and Downton Abbey-esque dinner parties have all been general characterizations of this time period. Add in some speak-easy bars, some romance and mystery, and a trip to the cinema in the family automobile to complete the picture....

Books, Books, Books...

Hi, Page Turner here! Okay, so if the start of this high school year as been anything, it has  not  been boring due to lack of books to read. Here's a list of my favorite books, (in no particular order) that I've read since August!     1. "Bud, Not Buddy." This is book filled with humor and pathos and narrated by a ten-year old street-savvy kid in the Great Depression. After loosing his mom when he was six, he is moved to an orphanage. After a series of events, he finds himself alone on the road. But Bud has a secret--he thinks he knows who is father is, and he sets out to find him. This heart-warming story shows the heart of young boy, the mind of a hardened man, and the importance of family. 8/10! 2. "City of Ember Trilogy" Okay, so actually it's a quartet, but I've never liked the "Prophet of Yunwood" anyway. This series follows the events after a devastating world war that caused fire, starvation, and disease; a war that nearly wiped...
