![]() ![]() ![]() As a young man, John Lewis risked everything in Selma, Alabama, and yet he continues to fight today for justice and non-violence. I lived through this time in our country’s history but obviously paid little attention to what was happening, because when I read these books I kept asking myself “how could I not know these things happened?” The marchers sacrificed so much to get their message across, yet were treated so horribly for their efforts, some paying with their lives. But once I picked one up, I couldn’t put it down, and like I said earlier they are easy and quick to read. ![]() ![]() You, like me, probably would rather read novels instead of books about the South in the 60’s and 70’s. In them he tells us (in picture form like a comic book) his personal experiences growing up in the south and his peaceful participation in the civil rights movement and the March to Selma. The “March” bestselling books are very quick reads, written by John Lewis, a black Congressman. There are so many things I want to read on the “new shelf” that I seldom get to the other shelves. MARCH, Book One, MARCH Book Two, MARCH Book Three, written by John Lewisįirst of all, I want to say that our Librarian Carol does a very good job getting new books for us to read, whether it be books on the best seller list or something we request from her. ![]() 6/21/2023 0 Comments Later stephen king plot![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You would become used to that situation because you'd not known anything different. Stephen King: The thing that interested me the most about Jamie was this is a talent that he was born with, and he kind of accepts it as just part of his world view, the way that you would if you were born with a club foot or born blind.

Not so many great lines though, it's mostly body language. Perfect for fans of Where The Crawdads Sing. James Franco does a great job in this one, every expression on his face has a meaning behind it, the tone of his voice, how the characters linger before saying something, that is All very good. : Dark and Shallow Lies: A intense and atmospheric debut thriller for young adults, new for 2021. The photography is beautiful, and so is the acting. Where there is no guidance, a people falls, Proverbs 11:14 warns, but in an abundance of. The opposite of soul-wrecking isolation, though, is a life deeply rooted in the hearts and counsel of good friends. But the good news is, it gets you thinking. It reveals just how thin and shallow his lies are, and just how far our desires can sometimes wander. It wasn't very well figured out, neither were the characters. And even so, it still lacked something, it was a little lost, like there wasn't much thought behind the story. Maybe it was just trying to show a small part of a depressed, not-finding-a-meaning-in-life guy's life. And then I thought, maybe it wasn't supposed to. ![]() ![]() After the ending, I began thinking how the movie had no purpose at all and that it wasn't sending out a message. The rhythm of the movie is slow, so if you're not the type of person who could sit still for two hours and adore the visualization of a slow film, just let it go. Okay, first of all, I gotta say that I don't think the rating of this movie is very fair. ![]() 6/21/2023 0 Comments The Golden Reign The Story Of My Friendship With 'Lawrence Of... by Clare Sydney Smith![]() Lawrence with the wife of the commander of the RAF station where he was in the late 1920s early 1930s.

But here the country seemed wilder than ever, and after a long and tiresome walk through the underbrush they entered another forest, where the trees were bigger and older than any they had ever seen.
