A Movie Worth Watching

Good morning! So last night, my family was watching Do You Believe? \o/ WOW! That was amazing! Such an impact, and well done! It is so hard to find a good Christian film down here, and that one. . . It was worth watching.
I managed to add more words last night, I am not at 4.5k xD I'm very happy that I did not stop. I am that much closer to 5k.

I've got quite a few things coming up on my book blog. I'm in a few blog tours, I've got some new reviews coming up. I even have some books that I am reading NOW, to have a review before the end of this month, Sept. and Oct. Imagine that. But I've got a handle on them, and I have been reading each of them when I get time. Sundays are my best day to do all that stuff. Its the one day my sister does not use my laptop.

I really hope to finish these chapters before the deadline in September. I feel that I can do it, but there is that slight doubt because I am limited to time on my laptop during the week. I've made the word count my main focal point. If I am unable to finish, I can always try again next year, with the same story or a different one.

That is all for now. I've got more typing to do, and my family has a visitor coming in about half an hour. I'm not dressed for the day yet, but I had to get this up. My inner clock is still out of whack.

God bless you all. Have a pleasant day, and I will see you on the flip-flop!

Clean Teen Reads

Summary from Goodreads:

What if Peter Pan was a homeless kid just trying to survive, and Wendy flew away for a really good reason?

Seventeen-year-old Kettle has had his share of adversity. As an orphaned Japanese American struggling to make a life in the aftermath of an event in history not often referred to—the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and the removal of children from orphanages for having “one drop of Japanese blood in them”—things are finally looking up. He has his hideout in an abandoned subway tunnel, a job, and his gang of Lost Boys.

Desperate to run away, the world outside her oppressive brownstone calls to naïve, eighteen-year-old Nora—the privileged daughter of a controlling and violent civil rights lawyer who is building a compensation case for the interned Japanese Americans. But she is trapped, enduring abuse to protect her younger sister Frankie and wishing on the stars every night for things to change.

For months, they've lived side by side, their paths crossing yet never meeting.But when Nora is nearly killed and her sister taken away, their worlds collide as Kettle, grief stricken at the loss of a friend, angrily pulls Nora from her window.

In her honeyed eyes, Kettle sees sadness and suffering. In his, Nora sees the chance to take to the window and fly away.

Set in 1953, NORA AND KETTLE explores the collision of two teenagers facing extraordinary hardship. Their meeting is inevitable, devastating, and ultimately healing. Their stories, a collection of events, are each on their own harmless. But together, one after the other, they change the world.
