by Kristan Higgins Anything For You starts out with our hero’s (Connor) proposal to our heroine (Jessica) being turned down. The rest of the book traces their history together from their childhood to several months into the future. It runs roughly parallel to his twin sister Colleen’s romance told in the previous book, Waiting on You. Many friends … Continue reading Anything For You
By Kristan Higgins At night, after a supper of Food That Would Keep Us Alive, Tweety occasionally eating a piece of bread from my mother’s lips, as I struggled not to dry heave or mention bird-borne pathogens, I’d ask Poe if she wanted to play Scrabble or Apples to Apples or Monopoly. Shockingly, she did … Continue reading Now that You Mention It
By Kristan Higgins I loved this one by KH. It has everything I have come to expect, which I won’t list here. Suffice it to say this has all of the humor and brief episodes of heartbreak that most of her books do. The character of Liam was very unusual as he was a hot … Continue reading Until There Was You
by Susan Elizabeth Phillips I think that it’s safe to say that this book represents SEP, as much as any other, at the height of her powers. When she got in the groove with writing contemporary chick-lit, she tended towards more angst and dark overtones. They were still funny, with feisty heroines and Alpha-male heroes, … Continue reading Match Me if You Can
It’s All about the Dog The human cast was OK but the dog stole every scene. He was adorable and hilarious. What an actor! Hallmark better get “Nova” locked down with an ironclad contract before GAC comes a-callin’. Just saying. Andrea Brooks plays Kyra, a young and ambitious marketing person who works in a pet … Continue reading Romance to the Rescue

She is taking the veil with her to confirm that it is the same veil in the portrait, and if so, to learn the history behind it. … Continue reading The Wedding Veil Unveiled
by Marian Keyes **Spoilers** As much as I enjoyed listening to Rachel’s Holiday, a book I have previously read several times though many years ago, I’m a little bit pissed. After I had finished it, I noticed it was the Abridged Version. Gaaaahhhh! I wanted to refresh my memory of Rachel’s journey in preparation for the … Continue reading Rachel’s Holiday
The Second Season is Better! I’m not sure what changes were made if any, but I am enjoying the second season much more than I did the first. I found the first season mildly entertaining, but in the second season, I have become invested in the characters. The mysteries seem more clever, and the writing … Continue reading The Mallorca Files
By Ron and Clint Howard When The Andy Griffith Show was first finding its feet, Ron Howard’s father (and acting coach) took Andy aside and told him he thought Opie was being too much of a “smart-aleck” with his father, Andy. After their talk, Andy said, he directed his writers to model the Andy-Opie relationship … Continue reading The Boys: A Memoir of Hollywood and Family
That’s a Wrap! This took the corny fairytale aspects of the heavily clichéd royal plotline to a new level. It was enjoyable. If you were 10. I checked this out solely because of Brendan Fehr who has had a lot of chemistry with his costars and lots of charisma on his own in the two … Continue reading Royally Wrapped for Christmas
