Wonder Review-- by all 3 daughters! (Book & movie)

KAIA:

1. The movie has a great sense of humor

2. I liked that it mostly stayed true to the book and only tweeked a few little things

3. I kind of wish that the teacher in the book and the movie could have had a perspective because most of the other characters do and he doesn't.



ZOE:

1.  The book was really good and it was specific about the characters and their lives.
2.  I really liked Summer and Jack because they were nice to Auggie when nobody else was.
3.  After we saw the movie and had the discussion I was kind of upset because they changed up some of the characters' personalities a little bit.


NORAH:

1. I enjoyed watching the movie wonder because it was very entertaining and touching.
2. I would give this movie a five stars out of five
3. I think the older sister Olivia or, Via had a very strong personality.

The Book Throwdown of 2017!

Note:  This blog is being co-authored tonight!  Mother and daughter share about the Book Throwdown:

This is a special blog, because it's not a book review... it is about our once annual Book throwdown, where we choose ALL the books for the entire next year.

You can read more about how we do our Book Throwdown here-- and you can see the final books we chose for 2018 here.

We decided the food for this month's book club would be "sports game food"... this was like our "Super Bowl" of bookclub, so it seemed fitting.



Zoe:
My favorite part was when we all put the marbles on the books.  But also I was worried that some books that I liked wouldn't get picked.



The best part was when we all read the jackets or backs of the books to see what they were like.

The worst part was when my mom told me that next year we can only put 5 marbles on each book maximum!  (I put a LOT of marbles on one book that no one else wanted and it made it in!)

At the end-- there was a tie between two books to be our final pick, so we had to vote again... it was another tie!  So, the third time, only the daughters voted.

I'm super excited about the year ahead of us and what we're going to read-- I'm also excited that halfway through this year we go to middle school.


Voting for books!
