These are my Book and Movie reviews I have written for Goodreads, Amazon, and IMDb. They are mostly Women’s fiction and mysteries in books, because that’s what I read now. In movies, I usually only review TV movies, where my thoughts don’t get lost in the shuffle among hundreds of others. Most of what I read and watch have one thing in common: They have upbeat hopeful endings with justice prevailing and closure achieved. Call me crazy.

The Keeper’s House
By Jane Fraser I went ahead and purchased this hard-to-find early Rosamunde Pilcher title when it came my way at a good price. It was part of Harlequin’s Golden Library collection. It was her second to the last book she wrote under “Jane Fraser”, the name she used to publish her Mills and Boon romances.…

Dolly All the Time

Aussie at Heart
Nice Yacht! One good thing about these ones that are set in faraway lands is that we almost inevitably avoid the bone tired tent poles that too many Hallmark movies are propped up by. I don’t have to list them, do I? This one is set on a small yacht travelling along the coast of…
Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love
by isthisselfcare Granger caught Draco watching her as the house-elf vanished. “What?” she asked. “I await your Manifesto,” said Draco. Granger sniffed. “I’ve come to terms with the fact that there are some parts of wizarding society I shall never understand.” “But you accept them?” “No,” said Granger. “I tolerate them.” “Hm.” “Don’t worry, I…
Absolutely Devoted to You
Sustad to the Rescue **Sigh of Relief** Thank you, Kimberly Sustad for coming to Hallmark’s rescue after a string of sub-par movies (in my opinion). She is a treasure that can transform a plain throwaway line like “I’m Leaving” into part of a witty repartee that not only makes you laugh, but gives the viewer another layer to…
