NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 19: Interstellar (Review)
I went to see Interstellar last week. We have a theatre in the area that not only has $5 Tuesdays, but their early matinees are also only $5. Even their regularly priced tickets are only $9.50 – so I try to go to that theatre the most. It will come in handy as I strive…

REVIEW: “How Sweet It Is” by Melissa Brayden
So, I bought a Kindle Fire HD. It was an awesome deal. Half off. Free shipping. I’d been wanting one for a while. It’s not like I needed it. But, I’m a sucker for new toys. I snatched it up. It was a good thing, too…they sold out pretty quickly. I was in it for…

REVIEW: “All That Lies Within” by Lynn Ames
I was having a conversation with Lynn Ames and the subject of reviews came up. During that chat, we discussed that I had not yet posted a review of one of her books. Now, mind you, this was not because I didn’t want to. Nor was it because I read a book and thought it…

REVIEW: “The Demon Abraxas” by Rachel Calish
**Thank you to Lynda Sandoval for her editing assistance.** Reading Paranormal novels isn’t really my thing.

However, Gravity was one movie…

REVIEW: “Letters Never Sent” by Sandra Moran
I have mentioned before that one of my favorite things about attending the annual Golden Crown Literary Society Conference is meeting and discovering new authors. The conference this year was held in Dallas, TX back in June. Political crap aside, I love Texas. I lived there for 6 years while attending TCU and earning my…

Review: “Snow White and the Huntsman” – Fairest of them all? Eh!
So my good friend, Watty, is back in town so that she can attend the GCLS Conference in Minneapolis. I just picked her up from the airport today. (And what an experience it was trying to get to the international terminal at O’Hare!) After we got back to the house and she distributed the goodies…

Review: “In Time” is neither “in” nor “timely”…discuss
I remember being in class during graduate school and discussing the concept of time as currency. I mean, just look at the language we use. How often do we say, “Time is money!” or tell about how much time was “spent” on a project? In my office, I’ll often talk about allocating time like…
