What This Book? What This Film?

Can anyone guess what these titles are from these 6 second summaries?

First person to guess each movie or book title (who was not at the meeting) wins a BOOK from the SLC prize cart here at Highland (as long as you can come pick it up here at the library before August 10th 2016).

I will update this post if guess correctly and the answers will be revealed in a post next week!


Book 1:

"What This Book:  A time traveling cowboy has to repeat the same mistakes over and over again in the hopes of eventually getting it right."




Book 2:

"What this Book: Distraught twin goes college. Writes book. Not really book. Feels, feels, feels, feels, feels, feels, feels, feels, feels!"



Film 1:

"What This Film: Guy's computer and pill addition causes him to be stuck in slow motion."



Film 2:

"What This Film: Sad dad gets a job as a night guard and hallucinates about dinosaurs and small people."

Spartan News Network- Season 2 Episode 1

Two of our Teen Advisory Board members were the anchors for the Spartan News Network (Season 2 Episode 1) back in the fall.

Their segments (singing and all) give you a pretty good idea of what our TAB meetings are like...

Great job guys!

Jack's review of Gameworld

Personally I cannot recommend or not recommend this book. It was very cliche and the twists could have been predicted. I do have to give the author credit for using Caribbean magic, a magic that is not commonly referenced in literature. There is just not much I can say about this book. 

Quote of the Month: Jack

Jack: Can I dress up as Sarah Palin?
Lily: You can be anything you want to be!
Jack: I want to be a Can Opener!

Come to the next Teen Advisory Board meeting this week (Wednesday June 17th from 2-3pm)!
