"I first saw this film when I started seeking out movies directed by women. This one stood out. There’s something so believable about that lead character—she’s a teenager I can understand. I loved her anger and her passion, and I was touched by her relationship with her mother. And I find Michael Fassbender’s performance so creepy in the midst of all this mundaneness, which Andrea Arnold depicts in such a raw and powerful way."

"I would say, Vacances romaines. I don’t know the English title. With Audrey Hepburn. Roman Holiday? I was not at all a baby girl who just wanted to be a princess, at all, but the fact is, in my movie choices, I was really obsessed with those beautiful and strong and funny and fragile women. [laughs] I was not wearing any princess dress or things like this, but in movies, I was very into it."

"I am such a blokey bloke and that movie… We’re down at the holiday house, and I’ve taken all my DVDs down to our holiday house, and I’ll just chuck that on, because I know I’m going to laugh at that constantly. I think these three movies so far give you an insight to how crazy or kooky I am. I watched Superbad in a cinema, and I watched it three times."

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Callie has switched her job as a tour guide for a so we're paced life. She meets a strange man and basically uncovers a 30 year old mystery right in time for a 4th of July celebration!

I liked Callie. She seemed a bit on the naive side but overall a good character.

I was able to solve half the mystery *polishes imaginary apple* and the rest played out in a way that absolutely made sense.

This is my new favorite show
Yeah, I am a little behind the times. Im only on season 5 but this show cracks me up. It’s rare to find a show with intelligent humor. I am constantly having to look things up so that I understand what they are talking about. I love a show that makes me learn. And Mayim Bialik is hilarious!

I guess advertising does work; I saw several commercials on Hulu with Ryan Reynolds playing this game. That was months ago, and I finally downloaded this the other day when I got bored with Candy Crush.
This game is at least a little mentally engaging. It's a standard matching game, and it does get more complicated pretty quickly.
Overall, it's a good mobile game to play at work while on teleconferences.

I really loved Angelfall the story is unique and I really loved all the characters. Ee really has a way writing her characters that they are gritty and real plus her female characters especially Penryn was definitely my favorite she was such a bad ass and I just wanted her to kick everyone's ass!

Also I was so happy to finally come across a book without instalove thank you Ee!
  
A non fiction book that read more like a fiction novel. I learned so much about sushi and fish. I now have a much better understanding when I go to my local sushi restaurant. I enjoyed the characters and following their journey through sushi school. If you have any interest in sushi, pick this up. You learn the facts while getting to know the characters. best of both worlds.
  
This was a really cool adaptation of Sleeping Beauty. I love the dark twist (in opposition to the Disney, not the Grimm) Gaiman gives the story. I listened to the audio book and it was more of a story play than a regular reading of the story itself. All I can say was it was incredible. Great job Gaiman! I can't wait to see if you do something like this again!

Short but sweet, naughty and nice, and sooooo funny, Tiffany Reisz has done it again. A brilliant read for an afternoon, and it's really easy to get along with that its as if you already know the characters.

Such a thoughtful wedding pressie from a character from another book ( sorry, i am not giving it away ;-))

I love the Bell hop, I think I might need more of him x
