It’s time to face the music, as of Monday Google Friend Connect will be no more. I signed up for Bloglovin’ when I first heard of this travesty, I like the site but was always in denial. I was under the delusion that Google would change its mind. Apparently not. Switching readers is like the […]
An obituary exhibits surviving family members, degrees, slight accomplishments, but never a full story of the decease’s life. Both Vivien Lowe and Ann Hood showcase this in The Obituary Writer. I almost dropped The Obituary Writer twenty pages in. When we are first introduced to Claire the reader is indulged to her thoughts on sex […]
I did something I hardly ever do, I read The Other Typist in one day. A few weeks ago a fellow blogger, Elizabeth at Silver Reviews warned me that The Other Typist was a book I would have to talk about, and she was right! It was incredible. The ending was a complete twist that I […]
From the beginning we know that Jodi will kill her husband Todd. Like S.J. Watson’s Before I Go To Sleep in which we are reminded to “not trust Ben” this statement looms in the back of your head. After this thought, the first two words that come to mind are Gone Girl. We have a […]

The summer solstice is the longest day of the year. And you know what that means… […]
First and foremost, I would like to note that I checked out Waiting to Be Heard from the library. I did not buy or receive a free copy, but I did read the book. Why the disclaimer? Because anything negative said about Waiting to Be Heard (particularly on Amazon) gets bombarded with accusations and automatically […]
The Classics Club monthly meme is another way to bring members of The Classics Club together. The post for the month will go up on the main page of this blog on the 2nd of the month, and you’ll have all month to respond over at your blog. Q: What is your favourite opening sentence from a […]
I saw the movie first with a group of friends and enjoyed it so much I checked it out at the library later that week. I was presently surprised how little they left out in the film. Atonement was a throughly enjoying book, it was a little slow at times but overall very good. The […]
