Here is my 56...

Book Beginnings leave your links in the comments if you didn't join in the Friday 56.


Q:   How have books changed you the most?
A: This feels like a loaded question, almost like asking what your favorite song is, or your favorite color. Books can do many things to you. They can effect you in different ways. I have read books that made me want to be a better person. Fight for equality. Even reach out to family. It has also made me angry. I've had moments of trying not to burn one book in particular that was just a man's account of a stripper taking him for a run. Some just take you away to a place you would have not otherwise gone. Without books, and having them in my life consistantly, I'd probably not be as cultured and open-minded as I am.

    I read this book several years when it was on a list Cybils finalists. Unfortunately I didn't review it and I barely remember its contents. I often think that books like this are uneven. Some of the stories are so well written and thoughtful while others just aren't at the same level. Let me know if that is the case or not. My books this week is APPLE

    I've read historical fiction about immigrants to America, but nothing current. This book certainly tempts me to read it.

    Our Stories, Our Voices sounds like a must read collection. I think books and stories like that are so important to hear (and read). I am adding it to my wish list.

    I wasn't sure how to answer this week's BBHOP question either. I think you captured it very well though. I agree wholeheartedly!

    Have a great weekend! Thank you for hosting. :-)

Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
