Review: Rumor Has It by Jill Mansell

by Karin 06.02.2011

by Karin, guest reviewer from www.savvythinker.com Rumor Has It by Jill Mansell is an excellent book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Mansell captures your attention from the first few paragraphs, then keeps it through the entire book. The only reason it took me a while to actually get into the book farther was that I had [...]

Movie Review: Walk in the Clouds Starring Keanu Reeves and Aitana Sánchez-Gijón

by Keira 05.26.2011

Walk in the Clouds is one of the sweetest love stories I have ever seen on the silver screen. I’ve fallen in love with the cast and characters as surely as I have fallen in love with Pride and Prejudice. The grandfather (Anthony Quinn) is by far my favorite; he’s got eyes in the back [...]

Review: Desperate Duchesses by Eloisa James

by Keira 03.31.2009

Desperate Duchesses is not one of Eloisa James’ best. I could barely focus in the beginning on all the name dropping and afterwards I was more inclined to think poorly despite all the book’s promising potential.

Review: Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer

by Keira 06.02.2008

I’m devoting four posts to the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer. Consider them the unofficial guide to Twilight. When I first heard about this new teenage vampire romance I was skeptical. This is probably because my favorite vampire/human duos from other fandoms do not work out. For instance, Angel left Buffy after three seasons and [...]
