Introduction

Let me start off by saying hello.I am new to this but wanted to give it a try.So I do a reading challenge every year.This year I pledged to read 75 books by the end of December.I love reading but I am also a huge movie fan.I have quite a collection of movies.I have been collecting since I was about 12.I started to look at my collection and wonder how many movies I have seen that were adapted from books.I decided I was going to make a list of a few books that I need to read.Let me tell you I have a huge list! I never imagined how many movies I had saw and never even thought about the books. So here I am now trying to knock books off my list.The list ranges from popular children's books to almost anything you can think of.I will be reviewing both the book and the movie.Wish me luck!

The Kissing Booth 2

    Published in 2020 I have to say that this book dragged for me. I know that is really mean to say especially since Beth Reekles was so young when she wrote the first full book. There is a short about the summer in between the books. But yes it dragged. I felt like I was getting as much from this one as I did the first one. So Elle and Noah are a thing,out in the open now. He has left for college and she is starting senior year. Noah, who is actually pretty smart apparently, leaves early to start school. He doesn't want to talk to Elle about how school is going and actually avoids most of her advances to talk about it. She is struggling because there a rumors about her and Noah breaking up. Noah is tagged in a picture where he is pretty cozy with another girl. Elle doesn't really want to talk about it and assumes the worse. When she does finally talk to Noah about it she doesn't feel at ease. Lee does try to cheer her up but he is busy with football and his girlfriend. Le...

Forrest Gump by Winston Groom

    Published in 1986 Forrest Gump By Winston Groom I thought was going to be a favorite of mine because I love the movies so much . I was kind of disappointed. Sure it had it's funny moments and it made you laugh out loud a couple of times. But things became so unbelievable that it just made the book go down hill from there. So let's start with how Forrest went to a different school at the start. He was in a school for special kids but eventually ended up in a regular school. He has a hard time with being just normal. So his momma sets him up on a date with Jenny. He takes her to a movie and in his idiotic way messes it up so it makes it like he was trying to molest her and take her top off. So he gets in trouble and has to see a judge. So he has to go to college or be drafted into the military. He does go to play college football and meets Bubba there. Forrest ends  up meeting Jenny again and they become a band. He ends up failing out so they draft him into the mi...

The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin

    Published in 1978 The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin has to be one of my favorite book that I read in school. As an adult I have read it a couple times. It is a classic children's mystery book. In school we played along trying to figure out the riddle with the characters. This book is also the reason I learned to play chess. Not that anyone, if anyone, reads this cares. Anyway on to the book. So Turtle and her family move into Sunset Towers, an apartment complex with a restaurant in it. Sam Westing ends up dying and all of the people in apartment complex are invited to his will reading. No one really understands why they were all invited. But they all get a set of clues and they have to figure out the mystery. Turtle is determined to figure it all out. Little things happen that make people suspicious of eachother. The books builds a good back story and when the mystery is all solved you won't believe what it was all about.It is such a great mystery to play along with. I thin...
