HALF-ZOMBIES AND MORE SCOUT

Hello Spirits, I'm looking forward to our meeting this Sunday. I'm anxious to get every one's opinion on GO SET A WATCHMAN. Since I haven't blogged in awhile, I figured I'd better put something up before our meeting. Archimedes and I have been busy as usual, however we have still made time to keep reading. And Chief and Boss have been reading still as well. Although, since school is out, they haven't been reading at quite the break-neck pace as during the school year. But they both seem to have an intrinsic interest in reading so we are happy about that. But we really don't push them too much during the summer. So I'll give a brief update on what everyone is reading. Well, maybe not Chief since Archimedes gave a thorough update on him recently.

Archimedes is completely addicted to the DIVERGENT series. She read the first book in less than two days! And its almost 500 pages. And she's almost done with the second book, INSURGENT, once again in less than two days. I am jealous of these books since she no longer pays any attention to me at home. 😭 😭 😭 Poor, poor Baron.

Boss (and Chief) has been listening to the audio books of the ORIGAMI YODA series of books. Archimedes and I have been listening to them too and they are actually very good. In a nutshell: there is a kid in middle school who is very socially awkward so he makes an origami Yoda finger puppet. But this puppet seems to have its own identity and brain etc. Yoda gives outstanding advice and makes all the students' lives better. So there are many entertaining stories and there is much debate about Yoda is real, the force is real or if the kid is just really smart and trying too hard for attention. Hilarity ensues...

Boss is also very interested in military and war books. Also, science and animals. It's complicated. He's a lover and a fighter.

For my part, after the book club book, I finished up THE SCORCH TRIALS. Then I read NIGHT by Elie Wiesel. True story about the author's own holocaust experience. Very, very sad but eye opening and all true. Unbelievable.

Then I figured I should read the book that came before GO SET A WATCHMAN. I've never read TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, so I decided why not now right? So I'm about halfway through that right now.

Hope everyone is doing well and we'll see you soon!

Baron
