Found my Ender's Game copy from Booksale, SM Manila last Sept 2020 during pandemic and finally read it as my Forgotten Find for our @tbrgirlies_bookclub Jan TOTM.
Here are the books I picked for Jumpstart January w/ @tbrgirlies_bookclub 📚📖
1 Forgotten Find - Ender‘s Game by Orson Scott Card
2 Page to Screen - The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows
3 Gifted Read - Since You‘ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson
4 Local Lit - Tablay by Katrina Olan
5 Waiting Shelf - The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan
6 Tiny Tale - Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt
so-soWay too philosophical for me. I enjoyed the plot...a planet's inhabitants are working quickly to prevent a catastrophic end to all species on their planet of Lusitania. When they started talking about physics and what created what, my mind wandered. I'm still glad I read it. For 30+ years, I wondered what became of Ender. #LitsyAtoZ @Texreader
pickLow pick. It was very tied to religion for my taste. You can't help but to adore Ender with all his compassion and grace when he travels to the planet "Lusitania." He wants to study a new alien species and to locate the perfect place for the Queen of the Buggers. It ended with humans preparing a war with the rebellious Ender and his new home planet.
pickI should not be reading a dystopian sci-fi in this day and time. It still kept my interest. And, validates the notion that leaders should have compassion while being bred to kill for the future to exist.

pickI loved Ender‘s Shadow just as much—if not more—than Ender‘s Game! Bean‘s journey from the streets to Battle School was riveting, his genius and growth fascinating to watch. His rivalry with Achilles was chilling, and the moment he realized the final battle was real gave me chills. What struck me most was how he embraced Ender‘s shadow with loyalty, not resentment. This book was unforgettable.
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

I can‘t even with this list. Some choices, sadly, are obvious. Some choices are head scratchers. Some are completely unknown to me, so I guess the bans worked? I‘ve read 24. Take the survey at https://shorturl.at/EHil3.
These are my picks from the irony division.
1. Mark Twain - I only even read TS & HF because they were assigned IN SCHOOL .
2. Ender‘s Game - problematic author part one.
3. Harry Potter - problematic author part two.

1. I was named after a character on General Hospital. My mom used to love soap operas and liked the name "Andrew"
2. Ender's Game. That's not even the name he's known by, though. I don't come across "Andrew" often (Andy and Drew don't count ?)
panRead this one for my book club. I‘m not a fan. The dialogue couldn‘t have been more clunky and the secondary story is just straight weird.
