Secret Supers are back for another adventure!

Hamster on computer

5.0 out of 5 stars 

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2022

In this sequel to Secret Supers, Jeremy has been experimenting on his hamster. As a result, Dancer has learned how to read, and is reading everything he can to learn about the human world. When Jeremy discovers this, he gets Dancer one of his old cell phones so Dancer can text the group.

As for the superhero business, the group needs some downtime and goes on vacation to Coaster World. What they don’t realize is that the villain they defeated also loves roller coasters and wants revenge against the Secret Supers.

Will the Secret Supers be able to defeat the villain and enjoy their vacation, or are their crime-fighting days numbered?

This was a fun sequel to Secret Supers. Not only did we have Andy Zach as a character in the book, as though the events were true and actually happened, but I loved the inclusion of a Super-Hamster helping out Jeremy and his friends. In this battle against the villain, the Secret Supers struggle, as the villain seems to have figured out how to neutralize their powers, and they not only have to call in support but also reveal themselves to some non-Supers.

The action was well-paced throughout, and the mystery of the identity of the villain was well-done. While I had suspicions, I wasn’t sure before the reveal, which was nice. If you enjoyed Secret Supers, I feel confident that you will also enjoy Villain’s Vacation.

For this book, I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by Michael Stafford. This was a different narrator from The Secret Supers, which was a little odd to my ears at first, but I think that was only because I had listened to Secret Supers so

Norad Santa – Why Have I Watched It For 20 Years? – Advent 23

Norad Santa – Why Have I Watched It For 20 Years? – Advent 23 – Yes, I’ve watch Norad Santa for at least 20 years–maybe even 30. Why?

I heard about it and I couldn’t understand–why was Norad generating an animated Santa? So, I searched the internet.

Norad Santa – The Origin

The NORAD Santa Tracker began in 1955 due to a delightful mix-up. A Sears advertisement in a Colorado Springs newspaper mistakenly printed a phone number for children to call Santa. Instead of reaching Santa, the calls went to the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Operations Center, where Colonel Harry Shoup answered a call from a little girl asking if he was Santa Claus. Initially taken aback, Shoup decided to play along and instructed his staff to check radar for Santa’s location, thus starting the tradition of tracking Santa on Christmas Eve 1 2.

The following year, the tradition continued, and when NORAD was established in 1958, it took over the Santa tracking responsibility. Over the decades, the program has evolved into a massive volunteer effort, utilizing military technology to “track” Santa’s journey around the world 3 4. Today, it includes a website, social media updates, and a call center staffed by volunteers, making it a beloved holiday tradition for millions 5.

Isn’t it amazing how a simple mistake turned into such a cherished global event? 🎅✨

Zombie Turkeys is ridiculous in the best possible way.

The premise alone undead turkeys that come back stronger every time you kill them had me hooked, but the execution is what really works. Following a struggling reporter and his no-nonsense editor through a collapsing country gives the chaos structure, and the satire of modern media hits harder than expected.

The pacing is fast, the gore is gleefully over the top, and the humor never forgets it’s supposed to be fun. Grocery stores, farms, militias, livestreams each stop somehow escalates the madness without wearing out the joke.

If you like horror-comedy with B-movie energy, sharp commentary, and zero interest in playing it safe, this one delivers. I laughed, winced, and kept turning pages.

Once I started watching, I was hooked. Although Norad is high tech, Santa operates by magic and billions of gifts are delivered in hours.

Zombie Turkeys: Dark Humor How an Unknown Blogger Fought Unkillable Turkeys (The Life After Life Chronicles Book 1) byAndy Zach The leader of a group of turkeys, “Tom” has been infected with a zombie virus. He is enjoying his new strength, proud of the rising body count and happy with the access to more and more hens. Sam Melvin is a reporter for a small local newspaper “The Midley Beacon”. His editor Lisa sends him on a mission to find out about an infection of herds of wild turkeys with a strange disease. They have become aggressive and soon become murderous, attacking and killing farmers and their families. When the farmers fight back they discover these turkeys rise up despite missing body parts and continue the attack. They have become Zombie turkeys.

Review continues

Sam and Lisa publish articles and create a sensation as well as helping locals put together it tip line on how to get the turkeys to stay dead. They fall in love and marry then turn the pursuit of turkey defeat into economic success with an internet hit, merch and sports events and a great white shark all in the name of the Zombie Turkey outbreak. There is twisted comedy and adventure as the couple travels seeking ways to prevent zombie turkeys from overtaking all of America. A bit dated now, but this includes a trip to the White House where the Obamas and Secret Service and in on the battle. Eventually a method is found but I won’t spoil it, but all in all it’s great fun and funny too.

My Christmas List – Continued – What’s on Yours?

From my family, I asked:

  • Chimay beer
  • Fragelico liquor
  • Grand Marnier liquor

But I don’t really need any of this. Other people have greater needs, so I encourage people to give these gifts in my name. Or yours.

All of these items are from GFA (Gospel for Asia/Africa) World, a Christian non-profit organization that helps the poor, widows, and orphans, of Asia and Africa.

Woman with a GFA World provided goat

Goats

$170 per pair, click to give.

Goats may or may not have been there to greet baby Jesus, but they sure are a great way to show His love to families in need. These animals provide meat and milk, and they can be sold for a good price. Increased income means more money for things like food and blankets, but it can also enable families to send their children to school, making a lasting difference in the fight against poverty.

People lined up holding GFA World provided chickens

Chickens

$15 per pair. Click to give.

Your gift towards chickens can help supplement a family’s income and get them on their feet financially. Hungry families can eat or sell the nutritious eggs, or they can hatch chicks to increase their flock and later have more eggs and chicks to sell. And every day, this gift can serve as a walking reminder that God sees them and He cares about them.

Blankets

Suggested gift: $25. Click to give.

Most families in the impoverished areas in which GFA serves have little or no insulation or heating in their homes. Those who sleep on the streets are even more exposed to the cold. For $25, you can help provide a blanket large enough to cover a whole family—mom, dad and little ones—with a tangible expression of Christ’s love!pres

My Christmas List – Winter Clothing

Passion of Christ’s love!

Suggested gift: $50. Click to give.

Harsh winters force many people indoors, hindering villagers from finding jobs and limiting pastors’ ability to minister. Winter clothing packets help GFA missionaries stay healthy and able to minister during cold seasons. Winter clothing distributed to the poor protects the vulnerable—especially children—from freezing cold.

Depending on the region, a winter clothing packet may include:

  • A Blanket
  • A Sweater
  • A Jacket
  • Other Warm Items

My Christmas List – Outdoor Toilets

Suggested gift: $540

Share the cost: $54 Click to give any amount.

More than a billion people worldwide have no choice but to go to the bathroom out in the open, which poses many risks, especially for women and girls who venture into open fields under the cover of darkness. Private outdoor toilets spare families from disease found at communal waste grounds and protect the dignity of men, women and children.

Advent Gifts for You in December!
