Unicorn Crossing

Unicorn Crossing Another Phoebe and her unicorn adventure
by Dana Simpson

Characters: Phoebe is the main girl in the book
The Unicorn’s name is Marigold
Max is the boy she likes but she hasn’t said that yet. I can just tell.
Dakota is the girl who picks on Phoebe in this book.

Plot: Part of the plot is that they go camping, Marigold didn’t like camping and Phoebe was annoyed how Marigold was always humming. This part of the book is where they both have to figure out how to deal with each other’s problems and learn to compromise.

Another part of the book is where Marigold has to leave for a few days and Phoebe has unicorn withdrawal.

“I hope you will be alright without me for a few days”
“ I survived for 9 whole years before I knew you, I could make it a few more days”
“Until I return, farewell”

Then I really like when Phoebe goes through the different stages of Unicorn withdrawal.

Stage 1: Denial
Stage 2: Anger
Stage 3: Bargaining
Stage 4: Depression
& Stage 5: Acceptance (or possibly we weren’t quite past denial)

My opinion: This book is whatever beyond the word loved is. It was amazing!

My favorite part was when she was writing in her diary because she was writing about how much she missed the unicorn. Like when she wrote “it’s weird how you can get used to someone even the annoying stuff. … She must NEVER KNOW!”

I learned that when you have friends, they can be tough but you have to learn to get along with them.

I would recommend this to everyone! I gave it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

2018 End of Year Wrap Up

So November and December were a bust for Book club. This tends to happen around holiday time because it is hard to gather such a large group when everyone is also dealing with extra family, cooking, cleaning, and all things dealing with presents. January will also be a no book club month because for some reason this year we all seem to need some down time after Christmas. We will resume book club meetings in February when we come together after reading Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty. I thought we could start off the new year by talking about how last years reading goals went for us and what our reading goals look like this year. Sam : I read 38 books and my goal was 24! I didn't meet all my goals though because I didn't finish the read harder challenge and I also stopped keeping track of what I had read which is really disappointing. I'm really hoping to keep track of everything this coming year and finally finish the challenge! In 2017 I ...

April Meeting

For our April meeting, we met at a local sushi/hibachi restaurant and our book of the month was: Becoming by Michelle Obama “For every door that’s been opened to me, I’ve tried to open my door to others. And here is what I have to say, finally: Let’s invite one another in. Maybe then we can begin to fear less, to make fewer wrong assumptions, to let go of the biases and stereotypes that unnecessarily divide us. Maybe we can better embrace the ways we are the same. It’s not about being perfect. It’s not about where you get yourself in the end. There’s power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice. And there’s grace in being willing to know and hear others. This, for me, is how we become.” Rachel : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nicole : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For our May meeting we will be reading: The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See Mi-ja and Young-sook, two girls living on the Korean island of Jeju, are best friends that come f...

Folsom - August Meeting

I know it has been a few months since we have updated but we decided to hit the restart button on bookclub. We were all falling into a slump of not reading and using our meetings as a hangout instead of as a book club. For our first meeting after this restart, it was Nicole's pick and she chose Folsom by Tarryn Fisher and Willow Aster. The nation as we know it is a thing of the past. With the male species on the verge of extinction, a society called the End Men is formed to save the world. Folsom Donahue is one of twelve men whose sole purpose is to repopulate the Regions. The endless days spent having sex with strangers leaves Folsom with an emptiness no amount of women, money, or status can fill. Until Gwen. Gwen has wanted a child for as long as she can remember, but when she finally gets a chance to have her own, she uncovers a long hidden truth. The injustice she sees moves her to help save the men whom no one else believes need saving. A forbid...
