Review: The Secret Place

Fond of: Not only do we get one returning character, but three.  Stephen, Holly, and Frank Mackey are older and smarter than they were the last time we met.  I loved seeing their development and the stubbornness all three took on.  Like In The Woods, where a teen is the focus and inevitable culprit I […]

Review: Broken Harbor

Can I say Wow? Is it too cliché to say Tana French has done it again?  If it is well, I really don’t care because it is true!  French has hit another ball out of the park. In the tv show Castle, the real culprit is surreptitiously brought into question and typically dismissed, only to […]

Vain & Fickle

Recently I adamantly decided to go from She is too fond of books to She is too fond.  I changed it because I wanted to include movie reviews and thought having “books” in the title was too defining.  Well, I realized I’m vain because  after fiddling around with a new banner and my mom mentioning […]

Review:  Madame Picasso

Review: The Good: I’m typically not a romance novel kind of person, but I’ve always enjoyed reading about women behind the (fill infamous man here) perhaps I would have enjoyed People Magazine if it existed in the early 1900s. The details depicted to Picasso’s paintings were miraculous and could vividly picture them.  Eva’s yellow kimono […]

Blog Revamp

I’ve been thinking about changing up my blog for a while. I started fiddling with the design and pondered.  I haven’t lost interest in blogging I just needed a little spice.  I started a movie blog which dropped soon after, two blogs to upkeep was one too many for me.  I still watch a ton […]
