Legally Blonde by Amanda Brown
Reviews Done Quick I’ve always loved the film Legally Blonde. Elle Woods was quick, charming, and went after what she wanted. After discovering that the film was based on a book I was eager to read how her paper counterpart compared. Oh, how disappointed I was. In the novel, Elle is a stereotypical dumb blonde […]

Audiobook Review: Nothing Like I Imagined
Not every author can (or should) narrate their books but, I can’t imagine anyone but Mindy Kaling reading Mindy Kaling’s books. She is engaging and her witty insights are only enhanced by her reading them. I was disappointed that Nothing Like I Imagined was on the shorter side as it felt like the audiobook had […]
La Belle et la Bete (1946)
Children believe what we tell them. They have complete faith in us. They believe that a rose plucked from a garden can plunge a family into conflict. They believe that the hands of a human beast will smoke when he slays a victim and this will cause the beast shame, when a young maiden takes […]

Book Review: Mrs March
What I Liked Mrs. March is told in a non-linear timeline. The reader is taken back to when Mrs. March first met her husband and back to the present day. However, the author never gives a specific decade in which the story occurs. Therefore, we are left to wonder, is it the 50s or 70s? […]
The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
I have a confession to make. Reality dating shows are my guilty pleasure, specifically The Bachelor. Because of this slight obsession, as soon as I read the summary of The Charm Offensive I knew I had to read it. Charlie is awkward and endearing. I enjoyed watching his character grow and find love when it […]
