Friday Fun!

Whoa.... what day is it? It's been one of those weeks! Thankfully it's hard to forget Friday, but we have been crazy busy with basketball. Luckily for us, the Hubby only has one more 8th grade game.

 My new glasses came in this week. I am really having to adjust to wearing glasses everyday. It was a lot harder to pick out a pair of frames than I thought. It's amazing how much clearer things are when you actually wear your glasses! Who would have thunk it?

Don't mind the crazy hair, I just didn't feel like fixing it yesterday!

We actually have a free night tonight. No set plans, no responsibilities! I don't remember what this feels like.... but the plan is to rent a couple movies and just relax, because tomorrow is a varsity basketball game and a family get together. 

I think I am going to rent The Maze Runner and The Equalizer. The Hubby LOVES Denzel Washington, so I can't imagine him being in just a terrible movie. 


If you check ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, the TOMATO-METER has it at 61% while the audience rates it at 78%.

Then I wanted to see The Maze Runner. I tried to start the book and just couldn't get into it. We will see if the movie catches my attention.


If you check ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, the TOMATO-METER has it at 63% while the audience rates it at 69%.

I am excited to have the Hubby to myself tonight! We are supposed to get 5 inches of snow on Sunday, but hopefully it'll be a good weekend overall!

Until next time,

Kara

Book & Movie Review- Molly's Game

Joe and I recently read the book Molly's Game. We decided we would read the book while we waited for the movie to come out on DVD. photo credit link It is hard to believe it was a true story and just not made up. I am not one who likes biographies or reading to "learn." I like a good dramatic up and down story and this fits into that category. It's an action packed book about poker, greed, and knowing who to trust.  Molly Bloom- photo credit link The book details Molly Bloom's rise to run a secret celebrity rich poker game in back rooms and fancy hotels. The book drops some big names that many will recognize from many movies we watch on the big screen. IMDb's description of the movie is, "The true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier, who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target." photo credit link I would highly recommend reading the book first, because the movie does not use names ...

Book Recommendations for October

Here are some recent books that I enjoyed. Mythos Academy Series- by Jennifer Estep I really enjoyed reading this young adult series. It incorporates action, adventure, romance, mythology, and mystery all into one high school! It's an easy read that keeps you wanting to know more.  picture source PLUS, it helped me answer a recent mythology Jeopardy question...Can we say invaluable information?!? First Frost is the first book in the series. Here is the description: I am Gwen Frost, and I have a Gypsy gift. It's called psychometry – that's a fancy way of saying that I see images in my head and get flashes of other people's memories off almost everything I touch, even guys. My gift makes me kind of nosy. Okay, okay, maybe a lot nosy—to the point of obsession sometimes. I want to know everything about everyone around me. But even I don't want to know the secrets my friend Paige is hiding or the terrible loss that will send me to a new school – Mythos Ac...

Book Recommendations for December!

I know, I know....it's been too long! But I am back with some book recommendations for that book lover in your life (just in time for Christmas)! I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to read. I just think it's so important to start kids at a small age of loving to read. I have a tub of all my childhood books. Many of them are from my great-grandma. She would get me a new book for my birthday, Christmas or special occasion. Many kids today are always on their phone and need a quick fix for their attention spans. However, a kid that reads can spend countless hours in fantasy lands, learning a new hobby, or having an adventure! For the adult book fans, I have some new books that I really enjoyed! Fever Series- Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning I started this book and was like where is this going?! But I kept reading and I ended up really enjoying the series.  source I enjoy fantasy books that just keep you guessing and this series really did that! It had mystery, adventure, he...
