The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Light Shining In The Forest in Books

rosa diaz's gf (23 KP) rated Dead Poets Society (1989) in Movies
Jul 7, 2017
my favorite film of all time.
We watched this for my Creative Writing class when I was in the 10th grade in 2014. I had never heard of it before, but after watching it, it broke me. Fantastic acting from the entire cast, especially from the late Robin Williams. It really captured the essence of friendship and camaraderie between the characters.
The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox in Books
Oct 5, 2020
This is one of the most artistic and original pieces of writing I've read in a very long time. The characters are drawn with both gentle and swift strokes, revealing far more about them in a few words than other authors do in whole volumes.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The Case of the Haunted Swamp (Note Hunter, #1) in Books
Oct 5, 2020
I don't usually read children's books but this one was written by friends of a good friend of mine. And who wouldn't want to read a beautifully illustrated book about a mouse detective that is hunting for lost notes written by Mozart?
