Must Read

The Supernaturalist by Eoin Colfer

Here's a fairly entertaining book for anyone who enjoys a good, action-filled, plot-twisting, sci-fi story. The book takes place in Satellite City, "The City of The Future," which, not surprisingly, takes place in the future. The story revolves around an orphan boy who was found as a baby on Cosmonaut Hill and sent to the Clarissa Frayne Institute For the Parentally Challenged where he was named, imaginatively enough, Cosmo Hill. At age 14, he realizes he has to get out or he will die soon from all the tests and experiments the staff puts him through at the institute. He finally makes it out and joins a group that fights supernatural creatures that only he and they can see. The book is a bit far-fetched at parts but is overall an interesting and fun story.

Must Watch

Flight of the Conchords, HBO
Yes, finally, the new season of Flight of the Conchords will be premiering on January 18. For those who don't watch the show (which is probably many), and for those who just want to touch up on their Conchords' knowledge, the show is about New Zealand's former fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo who move to New York City to become rich and famous. Although they struggle with their primary mission, they succeed in making friends (and enemies) and much more in the Big Apple. The show (obviously fiction) is more for those age 13 and older.

  1. Thanks for the book suggestion - I love the name Cosmo so I think I will like this hero.

    I don't really get the Conchords though.

    Thanks for keeping us culturally up to date!

    Best regards, Mrs. Prentice

  2. I know, I loved the Supernaturalist when I read it last summer. It was action-packed and I was very suprised by the twist ending. Overall, it was a very good book.
