I did only two things today…. Read and go to church. Okay, I also filmed a video! haha!
BookTubeaThon: Day Six
My bookshelves are invaded by a little green monster! Agh! There’s a lizard hiding behind one of my bookshelves! Come out and face me like a man, you green-lipped coward! #bookshelfproblems This bookshelf-lurking lizard is putting a damper on my #reading. He pokes his head out, then darts away before I can catch him. #sly #evil I think he might be a #Slytherin He’s devious, toying with me. Get out of my #bookshelf, you little green dude!
BookTubeaThon: Day Five + Unboxing
I got some books in the mail, and I read… guess how many pages. I also spent some time coloring, because it is relaxing and creative! Adults love coloring too, you know. No Shame! It’s not just for kids.

Also, many thanks to Hannah at JustReadBooks for encouraging me to find and try a new video editing program. I was very frustrated when Windows 10 ruined my old program, and I don’t like change, so I was having a hard time. Thank God for adorable bookish people who support each other, otherwise this video would never have been made!

Book Review: The Wide Road
The Wide Road by Kim Balogh
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
I was disappointed in this book. I was excited to read a Pilgrim’s Progress type of story told from the sinner’s POV, but there are so many problems with the writing that the story doesn’t come through. It desperately needs an editor. I only read the first 20 pages, and I just couldn’t continue.
The writing is extremely verbose and redundant. There are multiple problems with sentence structure, punctuation, and even word usage. For example, the word “self-perseverance” is used, when I’m pretty sure the author meant “self-preservation”. The word “nowhere” is written as two separate words “no where”. There’s a sentence that talks about the “faucets” on jewels instead of the “facets”, and another says how beautiful the “pedals” on flowers are. I even saw the words “their selves” instead of “themselves.”
I like the idea of retelling Pilgrim’s Progress from another viewpoint, but this book needs some help before it is reader-ready.
