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.

‘Tis the Season for Setups
It’s the Acting, Stupid! This movie premiered Friday night October 16th, and marked the official beginning of Hallmark’s “Countdown to Christmas.” So we have two couples here, and a daughter.

The Spirit of Halloween
A Halloween Carol When I saw the previews for this, I thought this one had a good chance of being one I really might like. But unfortunately for me it was a case of the previews being the best part of the movie. It was a Halloween version of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens,…
Business as Usual
by Jane Oliver This was a very cute epistolary novel set in a large London department store of the 1930s. It strongly reminded me of another novel, Dear Enemy, by Jean Webster. Not only are both books written in letters, mostly by our heroines, but they share the same humorous breezy tone, satirical takes, and…
Five Windows
By D.E. Stevenson When you’re very young you take people as you find them. It’s only when you’ve had experience that you begin to measure and weigh. After reluctantly quitting Crooked Adam after about 3 hours of listening to it, I turned to this book. I immediately settled into the feelings of joy and peace…
