Book: BIG NATE: WHAT'S A LITTLE NOOGIE BETWEEN FRIENDS


WHAT'S A LITTLE NOOGIE BETWEEN FRIENDS is another collection of "Big Nate" comics. There's the usual Big Nate hijinks, but some of the storylines include Nate trying to take a decent school picture, his soccer team suffering a humiliating defeat, his dream girl Jenny moving to Seattle, and Nate trying to make an invention to make him super rich. I enjoy reading "Big Nate" comics, but I'm not a huge fan. They have pretty good storylines that capture much of the comedy and tragedy of the middle-school years. It's light, but entertaining comic reading.

STAR TREK 2019 WALL CALENDAR


The STAR TREK 2019 WALL CALENDAR features 12 images from the original Star Trek series. In addition, on the actual calendar part for each month, there is a quote from one of the characters. Unfortunately, the images chosen for this calendar aren't the greatest.  First of all while, Scotty, Bones, Uhura, Chekov, and Sulu each have a solo image, there are no solo images of Kirk and Spock (there's an image of Kirk with android Kirk). While there's a picture of the Enterprise, it's a horrible image of it. In addition, most of the images really don't fit with the months they are with. For instance, there's an image of the White Rabbit, but instead of being in April with Easter, it's in July. In short, while it's not to see some less than famous images, it seems like whoever put this calendar together, really didn't put much thought into it.

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. 2019 WALL CALENDAR


Martin Luther King Jr. was born in 1929, so 2019 would have been his 90th birthday. The MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. 2019 WALL CALENDAR features 12 images of Dr. King with various quotes made that he made in his writings and speeches. It's a nice calendar featuring one of the greatest Americans of the 20th Century.
