Ally's Bookcase: June 2024 Reads:

 Hello y'all, welcome to a new series! So for me, June was a month for a writing retreat but I found time to read a piece!

   #1: Mary Pope Osborne's Magic Tree House The Graphic Novel: Book Four: Pirates Past Noon adapted by Jenny Laird.

I read this one on Libby (I 9/10 recommend Libby, it's super great)! A lot of my teen years were spent reading Magic Tree House so these Graphic Novels are just great! Before this one, I've read and own in person Dinosaurs Before Dark and The Knight At Dawn.  I have not though, read Mummies In The Morning yet because my local Walmart store quit keeping The Graphic Novels right after The Knight At Dawn came out, my local library doesn't have any of them and Libby doesn't have it either. 
I read this one between a hard copy I got from my local library (through chapter eleven) and the rest of the way through the Audiobook I borrowed from Libby. I was very impressed, having going in pretty free of Narnian knowledge. (Mind you, I have seen the stageplay of The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, of which I also once read an picture book of, and listened to my girlfriends obsess over Peter, Edmund and Caspian in my early teen years. I will be finishing the series, probably by way of Audiobooks, unless I decide to read my very own personal hard copy of Voyage Of The Dawn Treader.

Confessions Of A Gamer Girl: Subway Surfers.

  Hey y'all! So today I'll be talking about Subway Surfers! I've played this game off and on for about six years or something and have had it installed on three tablets (counting my new Amazon Fire) and two phones. Since I got it on my new Fire, I've been playing it almost non-stop (when I'm not working on stuff that matters, of course).    Anyway, I was playing the Shenzhen Showdown season until it ended and I've now installed the Greece Love Odyssey update. This is one of my favorites, based solely on one prize:    Alfie.   Yeah, that's it, Alfie . I'm hoping to win him and I'm currently in a three hour waiting period before I can claim my Season Hunt reward.    Other than that, I've already earned the Lunar Scroll board and I like it pretty good (it hasn't got any special powers, but it's cute).    Anyway, I'm also hoping to unlock Azura in the Season Challenge , but that's not my top priority (I'm in a time lock on there...

NaBloPoMo Day Three: Deep Dives And Reactions: Cowboy Back by Gabby Barrett.

NaBloPoMo Day Three: So this is a song I've been more or less obsessed since 2022 or so when she posted a little clip of the intro. (The Intro, I love the intro too much, y'all)!    Anyway, that obsession was further fueled when she played it at Stagecoach last April. I vividly remember playing a fan video about forty times.    This is, however, the first time I've heard the studio version and as a Country Girl who has a genuine respect for Cowboys, I approve.    It reminds me so much of characters I've either made up or write with for fanfics that exist in the source material.    Anywho, 10/10. Lyric Video: This is nice! I was hoping it'd actually get a music video (I wanted a Jesus And My Mama Music Video too... Oh well)... This is really nice, almost like a Visualizer! 10/10.
