I’m always amazed when I find myself interested in watching a movie like this. Normally, I run from anything scary, violent, bloody, or psychotic. For some reason, I was in a scary movie mood the other night, so we rented this. It really wasn’t that scary. It’s hard not to like Mr. Brooks, who is […]

Alice Sebold
This was a very different novel. I enjoyed Sebold’s other novel, The Lovely Bones, but this book was much darker. The novel begins with Helen Knightly killing her mother. Her mother is an old, bitter woman with severe mental problems, which have plagued her throughout her entire life. The […]

David Allen
I’ve had this book on my wishlist for awhile, but never got around to purchasing it. It seemed like the kind of book that would be great for increasing my productivity and making me a more organized person but it just sat there, waiting to be purchased. I finally bit the […]

Debbie Macomber
This is basically a soap opera disguised as a book, but I’ll admit: I’m totally hooked. Actually, it’s a mix of chick lit and romance as well. This book is part of the “Cedar Cove” series, but I realized that after I bought the book. This was the third in the […]

In typical Michael Moore fashion, this movie is slightly slanted and tends to only show one viewpoint. Moore does a good job of pointing out the faults in our current health system, but fails to give any suggestions on how we can improve it, other than suggesting we move to a nationalized health care […]

Jennifer Lee Carrell
If you’re in the mood for a good mystery, this is a pretty intriguing one. It follows along the lines of other historical fiction thrillers like The Da Vinci Code and The Historian. The main focus of Interred with Their Bones is Shakespeare. The novel begins in England, where […]
