  • Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling

    And I thought Professor Snape was mean in the movies. He’s significantly worse in the books. Alan Rickman was very well cast. I love these books. No. 20 on my challenge. Still going.

  • Now I’ve done it….

    I spent this afternoon traipsing around to all the bookstores in town so I could find Prisoner of Azkaban. Smart lady that I am, I picked up Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince, and Deathly Hallows when and where I found them, so it looks like Ms. Flavia de Luce is going…

  • Cinderella

    Entertaining for sure, but not as good as I had hoped. The dialogue was very cheesy (shocking, I know). I have much higher expectations for Beauty and the Beast. That said, Cate Blanchett was astounding.

  • Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

    I actually think it was better that I saw the movies before reading the books—I know the story well, but I’m still discovering so much. Again, I wish I’d just bought the boxed set. Another for No. 20 on my challenge.

  • Fifty Shades of Grey

    Perfect movie for Galentines with my single ladies. A few things I said out loud: “What?”, “Seriously?”, “I miss Jamie Dornan’s beard”, “Oh my God!”, “Oh”, “Ohhhhhh”, “HAHAH!”, “This should have been marketed as a comedy”, “Calm down, Ana”, “Creeper”, “Ew”, “Did he just say that?”, “NOPE”, “You’re fifty shades of what now?” I liked…

  • Longitude by Dava Sobel

    “John Harrison wrested the world’s whereabouts from the stars, and locked the secret in a pocket watch.” Did you know that? I didn’t. Now we do. While not particularly entertaining, it’s quite an interesting read. No. 17 on my challenge. Very educational.
