Last year, I started a meme highlighting books on my TBR. Unfortunately, this did not reduce the height of my leaning tower of books at all. Last month, I joined the My TBR List meme hosted by Michelle at Because Reading and Voilà I knocked a book off my tbr. I must tell you, it […]

Even if I had not seen the movie before hand I could have seen where the story was going. Although, being predictable was not my biggest complaint with The Notebook. […]
