Empire Magazine- and my top 10 movies.

By -
Location: Magazines and all over the library!!!
Genre: Film


This is the magazine of all things movies.
I love the movies, I get to see most of them on the small screen- the aeroplane as I travel, but this year I have managed a few more at the theatre. I love the ones on the plane as the selection is so vast you get to watch movies that are not generally that well known. Movies of stories about people, historical, fictional, but real, are the ones that feed my soul the most. Stories of the journey of people from one state to another, from one set of circumstances to another, the journey of a child to an adult, the stories of survival- emotional and physical. So maybe I should list my top ten in no particular order-
  1. The Lord of the Rings
  2. Water ( and the rest of this series- Fire and Earth- Indian movies)
  3. Princess Bride
  4. Bella
  5. Mama Mia ( Sorry bout that one)
  6. My Afternoons with Margueritte
  7. Boy
  8. Babel
  9. Juno
  10. Gandhi
Well that is the list today for what it is worth.This is the favourite magazine in the school library, it is battered, read, in all sorts of places all over the library, and the only one really well read before it gets onto the shelves and now I am going to end my day by skimming the latest because soon I have a big plane ride and it has a small screen.

By: Chloe Phillips- Harris Location: FIC HAR  Genre: Real life horse race- Mongolia! This book is about an amazing kiwi woman challenging herself on a big adventure! I love stories like this for our students! Check out her Facebook page- it is inspirational; https://www.facebook.com/ChloeAdventurer/ The real-life adventures of a young woman pushing the limits, trusting her instincts and living her life off the beaten path Suffering through searing pain and delirious illness in frigid, makeshift conditions, Chloe Phillips-Harris, at the age of 25 years, summoned every ounce of determination to brave the world's most gruelling horse race - the Mongol Derby. This 1000-kilometre endurance race across the wild steppes, desert and mountains of Mongolia - a competition with no marked course, no support team, that requires riders to switch horses every 40 km - saw almost half the competitors drop out along the way, but Chloe persevered. Fearless  recounts Chloe's childhood g...

By: Martin Handford Location: Wherever you might find Wally- there the book is! Genre: Still looking for one. So one of our students who left school last year thought it humerous to circle all the Wally's or Waldo's if you are from Europe- in our books- first one made me smile- but by the time I had seen this in all three books- I was not! Because you all love Wally so much- we bought you some new books! Enjoy and keep Wally's whereabouts a secret!!

A Disaster in Three Acts

 By: Kelsey Rodkey Location: FIC ROD Genre: Young Adult Romance Fans of Elise Bryant and Rachel Lynn Solomon will swoon for Last Chance Books author Kelsey Rodkey’s next romance, packed with snark, banter, and inconvenient crushes. Saine Sinclair knows a little something about what makes a story worth telling. Your childhood best friend refuses to kiss you during a pre-adolescent game of spin the bottle? Terrible, zero stars, would not replay that scene again. The same ex-friend becomes your new best friend’s ex? Strangely compelling, unexpected twist, worth a hate-watch. That same guy—why is he always around? —turns out to be your last shot at getting into the documentary filmmaking program of your dreams? Saine hates to admit it, but she’d watch that movie. There’s something about Holden that makes her feel like she’s the one in front of the camera—like he can see every uncomfortable truth she’s buried below the surface. Saine knows how her story’s supposed to go. So why does eve...
