Bridget Jones’s Diary by Helen Fielding

Bridget Jones’s Diary by Helen Fielding

Posted January 17, 2025 by Whitney in Review / 0 Comments

I was excited to read Bridget Jones’s Diary as I loved the movie and had heard good things about the book. The novel started out strong and Bridget was endearing at first… Bridget started out as someone I’d like to know but as time went on I began to roll my eyes and just wanted […]

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun

Posted May 4, 2022 by Whitney in Review / 2 Comments

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

Posted January 7, 2019 by Whitney in Review / 0 Comments

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 […]

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 […]

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

Posted November 28, 2018 by Whitney in Review / 0 Comments

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 […]
