It's good. Some cute stuff and interesting back story. Annoyed his family angle wasn't explored more. I've been told they were probably saving that for the sequel. Cute movie. Robin Williams.

Movie Monday Recap

I've watched this movie 4 times this week and I am not what you'd call a race car movie fan. Seriously, I love this movie. I'm not sure why except I love the dynamic between the characters. Robin Williams. Need I say more? Wonderful drama. Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson are wonderful. Just couldn't get into it. So tired of the reliance of CGI to tell stories in these large movies. Plus, Noah was not likeable, would have been happy for him to be washed away in the flood. I can't really think of much positive to say about this movie - except I think most of the actors did try. Not sure what I think. I didn't particularly like it, but I wouldn't say it was bad.

Q&A and #Giveaway - The Guild of Assassins: Majat Code #2 by Anna Kashina

The Guild of Assassins Majat Code #2 By: Anna Kashina Q&A with Anna Kashina What was the spark or initial idea that started your book? I believe that stories are out there, and that they actively seek the right person who will write them down, so they are just floating around until it clicks with a particular author--much like finding a love match. I guess this mystical image reflects the fact that stories tend to come naturally to me, I just wake up one day knowing that this is what I am going to write. Some stories come to me in dreams, others from the pool of semi-consciousness that dominates my mind in a pre-waking state, or during daydreaming. The big idea behind the Majat Code series was that of an near-absolute force confined by very tight rules. I have explored this idea earlier in my first novel, “The Ptincess of Dhagabad”, which features a djinn as the main protagonist. “Blades of the Old Empire” deals with a similar theme, but in a more fa

Movie Monday Recap

Creepy for sure. I had to cover my eyes in some parts (grossness factor). Acting is great. And boy was I surprised by the ending. LOVE THIS MOVIE. Tom Hanks is great as the OCD cop and Hooch is his perfect foil. You have to watch this movie! One of Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline's best. Some of the best dialogue in a romcom. HILARIOUS! Finally saw it from start to finish (caught the end once and wasn't impressed) with my mom. So funny. I laughed so hard I cried multiple times.  A gem of an animated film. Like to rewatch here and there. Lots of laughs and clever. Kids like it. But I've never been that fond of it. There are laughs here and there, but I feel they missed something with this one. Cute 80s flick. Tom Selleck shines in his scenes with the baby and the grocery store.

Amazon * Barnes & Noble Praise for Uncovering Cobbogoth "With a fascinating protagonist in Norah Lukens, a fully realized, never before seen fantasy world, and a fast paced, compelling story, Uncovering Cobbogoth establishes Hannah L.

Cover Reveal & #Giveaway: Cold Burn of Magic by Jennifer Estep

Cold Burn of Magic Black Blade #1 Jennifer Estep Releasing April 28th, 2015 KTeen, imprint of Kensington Publishing THERE BE MONSTERS HERE… It’s not as great as you’d think, living in a tourist town that’s known as “the most magical place in America.” Same boring high school, just twice as many monsters under the bridges and rival Families killing each other for power. I try to keep out of it. I’ve got my mom’s bloodiron sword and my slightly illegal home in the basement of the municipal library. And a couple of Talents I try to keep quiet, including very light fingers and a way with a lock pick. But then some nasty characters bring their Family feud into my friend’s pawn shop, and I have to make a call—get involved, or watch a cute guy die because I didn’t. I guess I made the wrong choice, because now I’m stuck putting everything on the line for Devon Sinclair. My mom was murdered because of the Families, and it looks like I’m going to end up just lik
