Ender's Game Alive by Orson Scott Card


        I would describe this book is being completely different. This book provided me with a completely bast world of wonder. I didn't realize this was even a big series until I listened to the first book. The only reason I even gave you a chance was because it was free on audible. Sadly, the remainder of the series are not.

    I didn't necessarily like Ender's character because of all his flaws. The narrator who did enter his voice was an adult man, so it was hard to picture him as a child throughout the book. I definitely think this book is out of the box when it comes to creativity. I will be looking into whether or not this has some sort of movie that goes with it.

    Who would've thought children fighting Battle between the worlds? Where do you add up when the world is about to end? I like books that leave me pondering over what it would be like if it were true. Obviously, this book is not true and it is complete fiction, but I like to think about stuff like that anyway. I actually wonder if Ender's character is on the spectrum due to his ability to be highly focused at such a young age. 

    I would write this book a five out of five stars. It was both different and unexpected which made it a pleasant listen. I do want to know what's next for the series. This book ends with actually a beginning of maybe the second book? The author leaves us wondering if he will let the alien hatch or possibly keep her hidden as he travels through time and space.I don't know if I'm willing to spend the $18.50 for the next book. Perhaps audible will pick up the second book and make it a part of their catalogue as well.

Lists Continued

 I will share some of my old lists. Not all content is sharable.   #14. Leave all unfinished business in the past.      I wish I could tell you guys what this was referencing, but I cannot remember. This list was made so many years ago. I wanted to do "this" before I turned 30. I can just about bet it had something to do with an old flame or some transgression I had with a peer. In my younger years I was so full of life bursting with opinionated attitude. Not caring what others thought about me was freeing in many ways. It was my way or the high. I was not well liked and often struggled with friendships. The younger me was so self confident and self assured. I knew what I wanted and went for it. She could have conquered the world. I was voted by my peers my high school year as being the most outspoken. I would say my peace and move on.      I admire the younger me. She was inspiring and willing to push through what ever wall got in her way. I gues...

Lists 2.0

 #40. Fly in a plane.  Check A+.       I did end up flying in a plane. The year I turned 30 was one of the best year's of my life so far. My best friend/ sister convinced me to go to the infamous Vegas. The four hour flight was breathtaking and I will forever remember the feeling of lifting off. I do not ever really want to fly again. We hit some MAJOR turbulence on the way home and I was frightened to the point I had a panic attack.      We enjoyed seven days of shows,  shopping, and exploring. We averaged over 15,000 steps a day and slept well at night. That was what life was like before children. My sister and I could take off with a moment's notice and go where ever. We took off to NYC to watch the ball drop one year. As it turns out it isn't an actual ball at all.  #45. Save a life.      Well, this one is really out there. Let me think...   I have saved a life but not like a you are thinking though. I go and...

Lists Again

        While cleaning out some storage boxes today I found various books with list being used as book marks. These books are well worn and have been read dozens of times. The lists were left in chapters that I deemed important. I reread some of the saved items and soon discovered that I had a list of what my thirties need to look like. It's a laughable concept. I really had all these plans as to how my thirties would look and be. Let me share a few of them with you.  #4. I will be an independent woman that doesn't rely on any man.  #9. I will have obtained a master's degree in some field that has purpose.  #21. I will live somewhere far away from town.  #24. I will have the job I have been wanting my whole life.  #31. Break away from family that doesn't see me for me.  #39. Buy a car that no one else has ever owned.         Context:         I wrote this list as a first year teacher. I was 21 ...
