The Point

Hi, Page Turner here! It's been a long time since my last post. :) I guess I just haven't really had a lot to say. That's not to say that important stuff hasn't been happening, though! I just haven't really been able to think of anything to write and put down.
 I've gone over a lot of my older posts, and I'm going to be honest. I've been writing this blog for almost two years and I've realized more and more how the posts have changed. (I've also noticed I don't use paragraphs enough:)
 I used to think blogging was about expressing yourself and getting your thoughts and opinions out there in a fun way that looks really cool. But as a Christian, blogging should be so much more than that. It should still be fun :) and it can definitely look cool!
 But my focus shouldn't be on how I can make myself heard because I want attention. I should be promoting my great King, Jesus! (Besides, who wants to read a blog that's completely obsessed about me? I'd much rather hear about Jesus!) Blog posts can still be silly, and weird, and random, and vibrantly colorful and energetic; they still be fresh and fun, but I don't want them to be about me any more. I want my blogs to be about Jesus! I want the root of all their exciting and fresh and uplifting stuff to be from God, because He's awesome, and exciting, and the coolest One ever!
I really want the blog posts to be about stuff that matters. I've got a lot of different posts on my blog, and I love every minute of writing. (Oh, and the time thing too! Time's been a factor, too:)
 Anyway, I want you to know that God created writing and art, and everything else that's completely cool! I want what I write and create to point back to my Creator, because He's absolutely amazing and I want you to know more about Him! He saved me and loves me and I have hope because of Him.
 I hope that I'll get to writing soon (who knows!) but until then I pray that you'll keep enjoying God and all of His blessings! He is worth it!
                                                                                                         your friend,
                                                                                                              page turner

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...
