#SoaringScores #catchup
I have about 5 prompts to catch up on this weekend so I will do them in no particular order.
When I think of a #TimeBombTown I think of the hidden Rockton, tucked away in the Canadian Yukon & filled with people hiding from something. It always seems like a ticking time bomb is waiting to go off there. (And yes, I use this series a lot! 😉) Waiting for book #5.

Hooked_on_books I love this series! 4y
Cinfhen Never heard of this series before....how about you guys my #seriesSquad @EadieB @Andrew65 @TrishB @gradcat 4y

For some reason I passed the book along, but this was a fun time travel read; where the heroine gets transported to a pirate ship in the midst of a battle!

Another favorite movie of mine! Was able to see the Detroit Symphony Orchestra perform the score while watching the movie above them!

Cinfhen That sounds like a neat experience 4y

#SoaringScores #TimeBombTown #NetGalley #ARC Book releases October 15, 2019. A timely look at race relations. Told in the past (Los Angeles 1991/1992 ) and the present day. Based loosely around the shooting of Latasha Harlan‘s, an African American shot in the head by a Korean store owner who thought her life was in danger and the ensuing LA Race Riots. This book had wonderful potential but it was too YA in it‘s writing & storytelling for me.

CrowCAH Perfect timing ⏰ 4y
thereflectiveflaneur I thought it was above YA. I would not recommend it to my younger students. 4y
Cinfhen What grades do you teach @thereflectiveflaneur ?? Certainly HS students would be comfortable with the material / maybe not Middle Grade. I found the dialogue a little simplified 🤷🏼‍♀️#RightBookWrongReader 4y
thereflectiveflaneur @Cinfhen Year 11 + 12 Lit students. I read along with the audiobook and the voice actors did a wonderful job. (edited) 4y
Cinfhen I‘m glad to hear the audio worked well @thereflectiveflaneur 4y

I‘m starting this nonfiction account of a circus fire today. When the Ringling Brothers circus came to town, no one could guess the tragedy that would unfold when 8,000 people would be trapped in a burning circus tent.

First book in a YA time travel trilogy.

CrowCAH I love time travel books! 4y
Cinfhen Another great cover 🖤 4y
robinb Hey Julia, did you read this one? It sounds interesting. 😊 1y
julesG @robinb Yes, I read the whole trilogy. It's YA, but not as trope-y as most of them. 1y
robinb @julesG Thanks, I might give it a try. 1y

A #TimeBombTown ...or two or three...appears in this book.

I loved this one - Greene takes a journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway to see how Russians live far away from Moscow. It‘s an eye opening endeavor, and it‘s quite apparent long held fears still exist. Though written nearly a decade ago, I would argue that some of these beliefs and fears in this book still haunt Russia today. A good travelogue and political piece. #SoaringScores

CrowCAH Sounds like an interesting read! 4y
Crazeedi You always post the neatest book,must add to my "check into this book" list 4y

The history of the DeLorean Motor Company makes interesting reading, after it attracted scandal due to John DeLorean‘s trials for alleged drug-trafficking and embezzlement of government funds granted to build the production site in Belfast, at a time when the Troubles were still very much a thing

Cinfhen I liked this Slaughter/ it wasn‘t too gruesome 4y
TrishB @Cinfhen that must be why I didn‘t like it 😁 it didn‘t feel like a Slaughter book! Thought Darktown was what Coptown should have been, really enjoyed it. 4y
Cinfhen I stacked Darktown after a review from @Reviewsbylola 🤩 4y
TrishB @Cinfhen I brought it after said review! 4y
Reviewsbylola I hope you both like it! @trishb @cinfhen That‘s a lot of pressure. 😬😆 4y
TrishB @Reviewsbylola I‘ve read, thought it was a great read 👍🏻 (edited) 4y
