The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun

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 […]

The Woman in Cabin 10

The Woman in Cabin 10

Goodreads Progress The Woman in Cabin Ten starts with a burglary in Lo, the main character’s home. While the break-in did show the character’s state of mind– paranoia I didn’t feel that it belonged and wondered if there would have been a better way to show this. When everyone was gathered on board the ship […]

The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride

Some may see it as inconceivable but I liked the film version of The Princess Bride more than the book.  I felt that the book was too and short and the plot felt rushed.  As I love the dialogue in the film, I found myself searching for favored scenes or quotes that are shown in […]

As You Wish

As You Wish

First Sentence Is it fair to call The Princess Bride a classic? The storybook story about pirates and princesses, giants and wizards, Cliffs of Insanity and Rodents of Unusual Size? Review A great book for fans who want a “behind the scenes look” at The Princess Bride.  I listened to the audio version and thought […]

Braving the Wilderness

Braving the Wilderness

Review Braving the Wilderness takes on the subject of belonging. I typically wouldn’t have picked up a book that to me, falls into the self-help category but I decided to give it a try as I work my way through Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club Selections. I really had to slog my way through the book […]

Something in the Water

Something in the Water

Goodreads Progress Have you ever wondered how long it takes to dig a grave? Wonder no longer. It takes an age. However long you think it takes, double that. That opening line had me at hello and grabbed my attention as to learn not only who she was burying but why. I couldn’t help but roll […]
