The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The Living in Books
Oct 7, 2020
This mostly low-key thriller caught my eye because it takes place in today's peaceful Ireland where the country's past gets dredged up through an unlikely employee of a book publisher.

The Bird in the Bamboo Cage
4.5/5 Stars! I knew nothing about the Japanese occupation of China during WWII, but this historical, women's, fiction novel really helped fill in that gap. Take a look at my #bookreview on my blog here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/10/09/the-bird-in-the-bamboo-cage/
MusicCritics (472 KP) rated Southern Blood by Gregg Allman in Music
Sep 20, 2017
It’s not often anyone has the (albeit heartbreaking) luxury of being able to map out their own memorial, and Allman leaves us with his head held high and a record of rare beauty.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Lemon (2017) in Movies
Sep 21, 2017
Although guaranteed to split critics and viewers alike, nobody can argue that Bravo and Gelman haven’t put their all into this absurdist, existential farce. The question remains: Will Lemon make or break that all-important first date comedy connection?

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Battle of the Sexes (2016) in Movies
Sep 24, 2017
Battle of the Sexes breaks little new ground as either a sports film or a lesbian romance, but it’s lively, funny, and, if you’re unlucky enough to be a feminist in 2017, vicariously wish-fulfilling.
