I am in page-turning love with this author…
Over the past months I have shared the authors who make my heart go boom and have the unique ability to
transport me. Patrick Rothfuss and Carlos Ruiz Zafon are two of the authors who came out of nowhere, for me, and they are about to have a lady friend to keep them company on my shelves; Tiffany DeBartolo.
I was doing my usual Goodreads search when I came across a comment from an online buddy, she was raving about a book that was so good she had basically highlighted each line. This book is called, How to Kill a Rockstar.
I have finished this book and if I could choose only one quote to prove its worth I guess it would have to be this one:
“Fate is the magnetic pull of our souls toward the people, places, and things we belong with.”

Bombermine
I have fond memories of playing Bomberman on numerous consoles. The panic and the outsmarting of other players made the game one of the most addicting piece of fun I have ever run into. Now there’s a way to do that in your browser with a lot more people.

Learn to Code
In the current age and generation, you can not go a day without interacting with some form of computer. Whether it’s hoping online to check out Call Yourself a Nerd or it’s using your phone to get directions, technology has become ingrained into almost every facet of life.
I am always astonished when I’m told that someone does not know how to use some of the basic features of technology. I believe that computers are a necessity to become a more productive member of our current society, much like when cars started to be mass-produced at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, knowing how to drive means that you are independent and productive. I believe that learning about computers are the next step in that ideology and I am not alone.
Code.org was founded to help bring coding to the classroom since only about 10% of schools teach the subject. They just released a video with some of the most famous coders in the world recommending the trade.
