My Current Interest

             I wasn’t sure I was going to write about this film.   Because of what the main character goes through, so much of it was awkward, painful, and uncomfortable to watch, especially when the character Martin was on the screen.   Then, all of a sudden, those moments lessened and Love, Simon turned into a really great film.   A film I think is important for people to see.                   Simon Spier (Nick Robinson) has a secret.   He’s gay.   No one knows this.   Not his family.   Not his friends.   Absolutely no one.   In order to finish his senior year as the guy everyone has known him as throughout his life, Simon decides he’s going to keep this secret to himself.   After that it’s unclear as to what he will do, but for now he will stay as the Simon everyone has known for so long.   It is a post by...

             The end of this book frustrated me so much!   Just like what happened in one of the Magical Cats books, the man thinks he knows what is going on and ends things before the woman he is involved with can fully explain.   What is wrong with people?!                 Life is going well for Lindsey Norris .   She has settled in as the library director in the small town of Briar Creek.   There is good group of friends around her, including the children’s librarian, Beth.   Then on top of that, she’s dating Sully, a man she really likes.   In fact, the only real problem Lindsey must deal with is her employee, Ms. Cole, who always compares her to the director that came before.   Fortunately, this isn’t a big problem.   Lindsey can definitely handle Ms. Cole.           ...

               This book is so much fun.   I think the reason I find it so much fun is because of the relationship between the main character and her cat.   As someone who had cats for many years, I understood their interactions all too well.                         Librarian Minnie Hamilton is excited to finally be on the road with her library’s bookmobile.   With so many libraries in the area being closed to save money, the bookmobile is the best way to give the community access to books.   Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with this thought.   Minnie’s boss sees the bookmobile as pointless and a waste of money.   He also happens to be the person behind the closing of the other libraries.   With this type of antagonism towards the bookmobile and libraries, Minnie knows the first day of the boo...

Image provided by Acorn TV.         A lot of things have happened since I last wrote about George Gently (also known as Inspector George Gently ).   One of the biggest is that Chief Inspector Gently (Martin Shaw) and his partner, Sergeant John Bacchus (Lee Ingleby), were almost killed.   Gently was confronting someone in a church when John comes in to help him and they both get shot.   Aft...
