The Fifth Wave movie review! (spoiler free)

Hey everyone! As some of you may know, the movie for the book The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey was recently made into a movie and I am here to do a reaction to Sasha Alsberg's "The Fifth Wave Movie Review" video. In case you do not know Sasha, she is a book tuber, which is a youtuber who does videos based on books! I will be leaving a link to her video at the end of this blog so go check it out! I want to first say that I fell in love with the book and I was very excited for the movie to come out. When I went to go see it on premier night, I was very happy to see that it ended up being one of my favorite book to movie adaptations that I have ever seen. I completely agree with Sasha on how it was a great movie and how the cast for each of the characters was also great. As Sasha said, this movie had a great way of showing how actual people would deal with hardship. Like she stated, after a death of someone close to a person, normal people would break down and would not be able to pick up their life like nothing happened a minute later which tends to happen in movies and even books. This movie portrayed pain in such a good way when the main character Cassie lost someone close to her. One thing I wish that the film makers would have touched more that Sasha did not talk about  was a group of characters that were a large part of the story in the book. They are quite an important part of the book and they did not bring them out as much in the movie. That was my only problem with this movie. Over all, I have to agree with Sasha on how this was an amazing book to movie adaptation. That is all for now, I will talk to you all later! Bye!

New Years And Book Challenges

Hello everyone! I'm back to talk about New Years and more specifically challenges and resolutions that you set for yourself for the new year. While some people make a resolutions to go to the gym more often or learn to save more money but us in the book community like to set a goal of a number of books they want to read through out the year. Some go with a goal or 20 while others go as extreme as to set there goal as 100 or 200 books! My goal for 2015 was to read 50 books through out the year and I passed that goal around August so now I'm adding on another 30 books as a total of 80 that I want to read this year in 2016. Things you can do to be able to achieve your goal easier is to dedicate some time of the day to read. Just take 20 minutes or so to just find a comfy place and read. If you don't always have time during the day, whenever you do have time, you can participate in reading sprints online which are a set time where you go against others to see how many pages you can read in a certain amount of time. These reading sprints can help increase the speed you read and can make you determined enough to get through a lot of pages in a novel. If you happen to have a couple days off from school or work, you can participate in reading challenges that people host online or that you can create yourself. Before the challenge starts, people start by picking books they really want to read then have them ready for when the challenge starts. Once it actually does start, you just pick up each book one by one as you finish the other. These challenges can last hours, days, and even weeks. These challenges, like the reading sprints, can make you more determined to get through a set of books that you have really been wanting to get to. So tell me, what is the amount of books you want to read in 2016? That's it for this blog! I'll see you all later!
