I have read 4 of the stories so far and I LOVE IT! The stories overlap each other in different ways. I love historical fiction, especially about WWII. I also love anything set in NYC! ]]> 2020-03-21 02:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/468653413 https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/468662995 House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende.  A novel about a multigenerational family, magic, social injustice, and the road to revolution in a metaphorical Latin American country meant to represent Chile.  Allegorical, and somewhat heavy-handed in the symbolism and political commentary, this novel is long but moves fast once you get into main storyline. ]]> 2020-03-21 03:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/468662995 https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/468663417 This book is so fun already! It’s written by comedian, actor, and history geek, Stephen Fry. He explores the Greek myths from the beginning and offers an abridged version of their intertwined relationships, and funny anecdotes of his own. ]]> 2020-03-21 03:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/468663417 https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/468665366 I have loved Larson’s previous books and was excited to start this one as soon as it came out. It’s a bit of a departure from his previous books but it’s really interesting to read about a nation under siege and the leaders who helped them make it through.]]> 2020-03-21 03:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/468665366 https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/471412040 I'm reading the drafts of my latest publication! 180 lessons for PreSchool teachers, designed to help little children practice creative thinking as their parents/teachers gather clues about each child's creative strengths.

On opening night of the exhibit the artist goes missing. Was she murdered like the victims of her artwork? Is she hiding out somewhere to make her exhibit more compelling and famous?  It’s not as gory as it sounds. Started out slowly but is picking up the intensity and  mystery. ]]> 2020-03-28 19:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/479891733 https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/485742969 Shantaram: A Novel]]> 2020-04-01 03:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/485742969 https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/485743826 Confabulario is diverse collection of short stories from one of the greatest Mexican authors of all time. I am enjoying the stories so far as the author tends to use magical realism and metaphors to make social commentary. If you enjoy works by authors such as Gabriel García Márquez and Jorge Luis Borges, i definitely recommend this book! ]]> 2020-04-01 03:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/485743826 robertjmoore03 https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/485780399 A historical nonfiction book about Benjamin Franklin’s time spent in Europe during the Revolutionary War trying to secure aid and supplies from France for the American war effort. I’m not usually one for nonfiction, but I was really drawn to this subject and greatly enjoyed the writing. ]]> 2020-04-01 04:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/485780399 https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/486506087 Valkyrie, it's about a absent minded AI and a group of humans flying around the universe saving humanity.  This is book 9 of the series Expeditionary Force.  The series is very funny and a great read for anyone who wants a good Si-Fi story.]]> 2020-04-01 12:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/486506087 https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/486690828 Every page is filled with poop.  Animal poop, people poop, poop history and the future of a pooped poop.  It is engaging, with small flaps to answer all your poop questions like, “what poops square poop?”  Now a poop connoisseur, this book is a book I can recommend to anyone who’s ever wondered anything about poop.

So far it is a love story gone awry told in flashbacks. I still don't know what happened to break their relationship. The pace needs to pick up! ]]> 2020-04-04 00:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmoore4/mcsy6fnv9t7l/wish/492034935
