The James Logan Courier

By Brandie Moore, Courier Books Editor

I once believed that life was a gift. I thought whatever I wanted I would someday possess. Is that greed, or only youth? Is it hope or stupidity? As far as I was concerned the future was a book I could write to suit myself, chapter after chapter of good fortune. All was right with the world, and my place in it was assured, or so I thought then. I had no idea that all stories unfold like white flowers, petal by petal, each in its own time and season dependent on circumstance and fate. The future is something no one can foretell.

Green Angel is a short novel that Alice Hoffman, Alice Hoffman, bestselling author of The Story Sisters, The Third Angel, Property Of, Green Witch, The Foretelling and other works. wrote a few years ago. It's more of a starter book for smaller kids but the story is just an amazing one. Even the illustrations in this book are beautiful.

The Average American Male by Chad Kultgen might possibly be one of the most interesting takes on stereotypical males’ minds I’ve ever stumbled upon.

The book starts out seeming like it has no plot or story line, and it’s just the main character talking nonstop about his girlfriends butt and checking out other girls.

But the story begins to unfold when his girlfriend suggests the idea of marriage with him, and gets the wrong idea and somehow assumes he proposes to her. Not wanting to break her heart or start unnecessary drama, he sticks with the engagement, but suddenly realizes he can’t stay with her.
