Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated The Vow in Books

May 10, 2018

Three friends vow at another friend's wedding that they are going to find husbands within the next year. Women like Trista, Amaya, and Vivian don't come around a lot, so any man would be lucky to have them. Trista, the Hollywood agent, who is accomplishing everything she set out to do. Amaya, emerging actress who wants just one man, problem: he's married. And Vivian, she has been pining over her baby daddy since the moment she met him, if only she could get him to return the feelings instead of just meeting up for "ex-sex". Will the women be able to accomplish The Vow, or are they meant for other things.

I get hooked on a multitude of feelings by Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014) #Review

Do you remember when summer SciFi blockbusters were unashamedly fun? Do you remember how you felt watching “Return Of The Jedi”? Before you got all old and cynical and ironic. Before your “Star Wars” heart was hardened by special edition vandalism and successive soulless prequels? Before the angry words and bitter sentiment of a million revisionist websites convinced you the Ewoks were irredeemably lame and that “Jedi” was when the rot started? Do you? Well, that’s what’s waiting for you on the other end of the tickets to Marvel’s “Guardians Of The Galaxy” that you’re going to buy...

This wasn't a bad book.. not really my thing and some spots seemed a bit odd for me but overall I enjoyed the mystery and murder to it.. I enjoyed seeing how the politics played into the mystery of this story. I am not a bit political person so that might have been part of my not being as into it as I normally would be.. however the murder mystery part of it kept me interested and invested. the writing did have some amazing feelings and emotions.. I felt with duncan on his daughters death... I felt his confusion and fear and pain. I am glad i got to review this one

Compelling story

Jessica Chastain

If you lived in the USA after 9/11, the fact that Osama bin Laden was alive was like an open wound. Many Americans felt like there would never be closure to the events at the World Trade Center until he was brought to justice.

The sheer persistence of the CIA and the Justice Department in never giving up even after years of trying to hunt him down and tragedy within their own ranks is a testament to American will, drive and ambition.

Whatever your personal feelings on torture, this film walks the line of being objective and lets the viewer draw their own conclusions.

Very compelling film.

The story of young Veda Sultanfuss (Chlumsky) who is coming of age during the summer goes through a ton of mixed feelings and emotions with her friend Thomas (Caulkin) in this coming of age story. Harry Sultenfuss (Aykryod) owns and runs a funeral parlor and is still morning his wife finds a new love interest in Shelly (Curtis) and Shelly has try try to win over Veda and try to act like her mom. This a true family story and one to not watch alone.

This movie has one of the saddest endings of all time and I can't watch it with out balling my eyes each and every time.

Beautifully illustrated and a simple

This is a great start in explaining trans gendered to children, whither the feelings are theirs, or someone in their social group. It’s extremely simpleized, which I think is great for the age it’s geared towards. I do think there needs to be some explanation of what a “Vixen”. Vincent talks about his brothers and sisters, but they are always described as a fox. But the ending line is “Vincent grew up and lived happily as Vincent the Vixen” with no explanation of why that is important. The illustrations help greatly with the concept, but I think it needs to be in words as well.

Mar 7, 2020

Sofia Bingham needs a job, and working for her childhood friend and tycoon, Eric Jenner, is the perfect solution. But Eric is grown up now and tempting as hell! When attraction turns into an unforgettable night of passion, Sofia wants to go back to business. But Eric is determined to convince her he’s playing for keeps…
This book fits into the standard “m&b” mould... will they, won’t they, they did... fall in love, fight, get married...
well written, and surprisingly focusing more on the feelings of Eric, and what he wants out of life, it followed the pattern, and ended with a happily ever after. Okay short read, but didn’t blow my mind.
