    More Than This by Patrick Ness

    in Children's / Young Adult

    Posted

    I've read all the Chaos Walking trilogy and would definitely recommend them.  I chose the first book, The Knife of Never Letting Go for my book group which is made up of mostly retired ladies, and they were all sceptical of trying a YA book when it was handed out, but at the next meeting, most were completely bowled over by it and were delighted I had suggested it.

    I will put them on my TBR list and hopefully get to them soon. I really enjoyed the two books by Ness that I recently read.

    Please Mr. Sun - Johnny Ray

     

    (Johnnie Ray was an American singer, songwriter, and pianist who enjoyed major popularity for most of the 1950s. He has been cited by many critics as a major precursor of what would become rock and roll. His jazz and blues-influenced music and his animated stage persona made him one of the first teen idols. In 1951 his Cry and The Little White Cloud That Cried both reached #1 on the Billboard charts. In March, 1952, he had three songs at once in the Billboard Top Ten. )

     

    I'm just full of all kinds of interesting information. :)

    I have really thought about this book for a while and have changed my mind about the story.

     

     

    I now believe that there really was a Virtual Reality World and somehow it didn't work for the three. LOL, I am not sure though. Good book.

     

     

    I just finished A Monster Calls and thoroughly enjoyed the book. Any other books by Ness that are recommended. :)

    Thanks mucho, Muggle!  :D

     

    I remember the top of Cadillac mountain... it was so beautiful it was hard to leave!  It was super windy, though, and kind of cold, and some lame person insisted on yelling into his cell phone "I'M IN ACADIA NATIONAL PARK!"  Talk about annoying.

     

    I usually had one night class a term when I was in college, but I lived in the dorms and they were connected by skyways so going home at night wasn't bad, Sabry.  I also had weekend classes, ugh.  Keep in mind this was all so I wouldn't have to get up before 9:00am every day and I also had one day off every week :lol:

    Peacefield - It seems like windy and cold are a normal part of Cadillac mountain. :) I remember once we were there and everyone had their jackets and hoods fastened tight and we were all shivering. But, like you say the view is so beautiful that it is worth the "numbness". :)

     

    The first sunrise of the day in the U.S. is usually seen from the top of Cadillac as it is the highest point on the U.S. Eastern seaboard. And, talk about annoying people, nothing annoys me so much as people not paying attention to the signs about staying on the rock and paths and not damaging the plant life as it takes the plants many, many, years to grow on this rocky granite.

    What are you drinking just now?

    Cardinale Lanata Moscato d'Asti

    Sweet, Peach, Honey, Medium-bodied

    Piedmont, Italy- Delightful flavors of peach and honey mark this sweet, refreshing choice that has less effervescence than a sparkling wine. This Moscato bursts with citrus and floral aromas. Drink it chilled by itself or with fruity desserts.

    Sweet, Floral, Fresh, Medium-bodied

    Asti, Piedmont, Italy- A delightfully fresh and spritzy wine, sweetly scented with spring flowers, and gushing with white peach and lemon flavors. This low alcohol beauty is the perfect selection for Sunday brunch, wedding toasts, or with light desserts.

    I was looking out our kitchen window today and saw a spider web that goes from the top of the screen porch to a dogwood tree that is about 15 feet away from the house. How do they do those things.

    Thanks for the encouraging words, everyone!  :D

     

    Muggle, I had carpal tunnel surgery performed on my left hand back on the 12th.  Good times!

     

    Your photos are beautiful!  That last one, is that from the top of Cadillac mountain? 

    Best wishes from me on a fast recovery.

     

    Yes, from the top of Cadillac mountain. Photos do not do justice to the views.
