Goddess in Time by Tera Lynn Childs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book as part of the Oh.My.Gods series. I wouldn’t have been able to follow it if I hadn’t read the other books.
With the way the book ended, I hope there’s another book in this series. One more story to tie up the loose ends.
Angie Thomas has a new book coming out! It’s set for release in January 2021. The above link tells about the book, and what we should expect. It sounds like it is a prequel to The Hate U Give. I am excited!
So many kids say they don’t like to read. The above linked article talks about why that might be. Giving kids books that they are interested in would help the situation a lot. Let them choose what they want to read. Give them good options. Don’t make it too easy or too hard on them. Most importantly, give them books that they can relate to.
The books that are mentioned in the article all seem to be good books. Many of them I have read. Some of them my children have read and told me about.
Books I haven’t read that are mentioned in the article.

#TheRealCinderella by Yesenia Vargas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I went into this book knowing it was a retelling of Cinderella. The title gives it away.
I was impressed by how the story was modernized and told as if it could actually happen. No mice into horses or pumpkins into carriages. The story just made sense.
I look forward to reading the sequels to the book, one of these days.
Are you there God? It’s me Margaret movie
The above linked article tells about one of my favorite books growing up being made into a movie. The only thing that disappointed me about this article was that it doesn’t say when the movie will be made. I can’t wait!
On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book a lot. I found a lot of the main characters decisions a little stressful but I think it had a lot to do with being an adult and seeing what a teen’s decision can become.
This is a good lesson about how words can be misconstrued and how they can come back to bite you. It’s a good book for teens to read, and has a lot of lessons in the book. It worthwhile read.
