Join real-life Major League Soccer and Olympic referee Mark Geiger to get the latest, most up-to-date soccer intel around, plus fun facts and awesome trivia. Out just in time for the World Cup! My Thoughts:  So I used to read these type of non fiction books when I was a kid, especially about sports because that was always like my thing. But man did I wish I had this book when I was younger. The pictures are so crisp and every page is bursting with information. And me personally, it really resonates with me deep because I'm the type that loves learning random facts about a subject: I really am just naturally curious. One thing I wish could be changed (just a minor nitpick) is that in my opinion this book should've been organized chronologically. Like instead of naming the modern rules and then the history, it should've been the...

Day 2 of the fun with learning with National Geographic series, this time we got a special on dolphins. I know, I know, doesn't sound too fun, but well my thoughts may prove otherwise. Summary: Kids who have a laser focus on dolphins will learn everything they've ever wanted to know about them in an eye-catching, page-turning book for aspiring experts, featuring exclusive content from a National Geographic explorer currently in the field My Thoughts: Like the summary, I'll keep this post short and sweet because I am not gonna lie, this book is pretty straight forward. Just like the volcanoes book, you got the stunningly crisp pictures (I mean seriously look at the dang cover, the contrast between the dolphin, its shadows and the water was taken from a camera UNDERWATER like what???). One thing I will say is that is was really cool how they laid out the book. They start with a little timeline of the dolphin's existence, and then go through how they live in the presen...

First book post with the revamp? That's what's up. Anyways, one of my bigger problems was that with the name change of the website people can't find my new site, so I'll have to do something about that. Anyway, I just recently read this book again and I fell IN LOVE WITH IT. Old readers will know what's up, but this book needs to get more publicity than it does. Anyways, here's the greatest chess novel of all time. Summary:  Daniel Pratzer is a patzer (a term which basically means you terribly suck at chess), yet when Eric Chisolm and Brad Kinney, two of the most popular seniors at his high school, invite him to the father-son chess tournament, Daniel is shocked. Why would the valedictorian of the senior class and the most popular jock, dating the prettiest freshman Brittney, ask him to a chess tournament. Later, he figures out why, his dad is a grand master, the highest rank you can achieve in Chess (like a chess god). In this father-son tournament, you have ...

Oof so that New Year's Resolutions didn't come through now did it? Hey all, got some big news to make. This is what happened to me in 7th grade, when I was losing the passion to blog about books. After a three month hiatus, I came back bigger and stronger, and had the greatest year of my life. Now however, business has declined and with that my love for books. I've spent the last three months thinking about the future for this website, and I've realized it isn't my passion for sharing my opinions, it is what I'm talking about. Sure, I'll still love books, but I want to branch out to all media, to shed light on my favorite music, a hot TV show, or let you know if that new movie is worth it or not. ...Introducting JustinTalksMedia! I basically talk about all things entertainment that i consume. Posts won't be thought out, it will kind be like "hey this is a song", a little bit about it, my thoughts and more. Just something spontaneous th...
