Rejoice!


Image result for Christmas pictures public domainHi guys, Page Turner here!
Wow! It's been a long time since my last blog post! My classes have been really time-consuming this year, and it's gotten away from me. Needless to say, my blog isn't the only thing that I've neglected...
  I am so excited about Christmas! I LOVE CHRISTMAS SO MUCH! That's right, Page Turner's favorite holiday is Christmas and it is fast approaching. I have a lot of great memories tied up in Christmas, from decorating the tree, watching Hallmark movies, playing in the snow with my siblings, or wrapping presents. My favorite part about Christmas is the memories, being together, and the joy.
Christmas is about Jesus being born! That is so amazing! I can't even fully comprehend it, but it makes me so happy! Our God came down as a baby to save us from our sins. My Savior was born and we get to celebrate it with friends and family. That is reason to rejoice!
But Christmas can be really hard sometimes, when you miss loved ones, or anxiety sets in. What I love about Christmas is that we are celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Even in times of sadness or the temptation to worry, I can lean on my Comforter and know that He is trustworthy.
  I love Christmas, and in a few days, I'm going to start the 12 days of Christmas Countdown. Thanks for sticking with me, and I'm glad to be back. I'm ready to break out my Christmas spirit, because no matter what happens, traditions or not, Jesus was born...and He is alive, our Savior.
            Now that's reason to rejoice!

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...
