"Plague" by Michael Grant (Reading)

    I love to read, so every now and again I will provide a small book rating. I love The Gone series by Michael Grant. Grant must be a very creative person. This series has captivated me and my classes. 


   The author has created this whole world and I have enjoyed reading and discovering each new element as it develops. I just wish the characters had a moment of bliss. The constant stressful environment sometimes makes me want to put the book down, but I want to know more.

    This entire series is amazing. I love the fact that I can read it with my classes and not worry about the content. Most young adult literature has too much sexual content to read with a class, but this didn't. My favorite character is Sam and he really portrays the whole modern day hero. I only wish the author had provided more information as to what happen to Diana?  I was at the end of the book and I still didn't know if she was alive or dead.
  As soon as, Spring Break is over I will be finishing this novel with  my classes. Caine has tried to redeem himself and I have found new respect for his character. Grant is an amazing author and I'm so happy that I bought a class set of these novels for my classroom. Hopefully one day I will have the opportunity to meet the author. 
 
 


   Overall, I would give this book a 8 out of 10. The author has introduced characters and never told about their fate. I cannot read a book that  is sporadic. I will continue to reading the series in hopes that the author will once again get back on track. I hate feeling lost while reading.

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
