There is a danger to reading the book after watching the movie. Reading the book might cool your love for the movie, especially if the hero is white washed and played by an actor you don’t like. I had been meaning to read All You Need is Kill for a couple of years. I mostly loved the hideously named movie version, Edge of Tomorrow, but fully expected to like the book better. One major advantage of the book, besides being a book, would be the […]
Do Not Talk to the Police Without Your Attorney Present
I know You People are too smart to take legal advice from a popular but formulaic writer of romantic suspense novels. I do worry though, that there are people out there who would. So I’m going to get right to the point. Do not talk to the police without your attorney present. Do not let them in your house without a search warrant. Do not threaten the police. Do not take the law into your own hands. Do not punch your mortal enemy in front […]
I Think Lisa Kleypas was working through some issues
Lisa Kleypas’ Blue-Eyed Devil and Smooth Talking Stranger are two of my inexplicable comfort reads. They have their good parts and bad parts, but they are not stellar books. I didn’t particularly like either of them when I got them, but I got them both as ebooks, so I have read each of them multiple times, because there they are. I’m scrolling through my kindle and instead of the many long languishing books I haven’t read, I read these two. It probably says things about […]
I don’t think she knows what a rogue is.
Honesty alert: I’m starting this review while only about 40% through the book because I need to let you know that this book is boring and shows no signs of not being boring. I’m not even going to put a spoiler warning on here, because you’ve either read this book, or you should not read this book, so it’s not really a spoiler because you are never going to read this book. From Amazon, because I can’t be bothered with the plot: Sometimes. . . […]
Ms. Adichi Has a Dream
Gender matters everywhere in the world. And I would like today to ask that we begin to dream about and plan for a different world. A fairer world. A world of happier men and women who are truer to themselves. I am a mostly passive feminist. I am definitely a feminist. I believe women have the right to equal rights and equal opportunities. I believe people should be able to be the people they are and not have to fit within prescribed cultural gender roles. […]
I should have more faith in my fellow Cannonballers
I did not intend to spend my morning reading and reviewing this book. I have 5 other books that need to get reviewed. Very little about this book appealed to me at first glance. I didn’t like the premise, the blurb, the title, or the cover. But it kept getting good reviews from Cannonballers. And then Amazon offered it for $.99, but I still might not have read it were it not for a short expletive filled rant from Mrs. Julien wondering which of her […]
