"The Blue Nile are masters of the slow build, and Over The Hillside is a prime example. A lot of their songs make me cry, but this one in particular has this sense of hope and patience that becomes almost unbearably beautiful when Paul Buchanan sings, "Tomorrow I will be there / Just you wait and see." It almost sounds as if he's about to die and is singing to heaven...but heaven is a place on earth, after all."

Ooooooh!! What an ending!

Sarren, I hope they kick your arse all the way to hell and back when they finally catch up with you!

As for the everyone else. Allie, nice to have you back. Jackal, I would never have guessed. Kanin, good to see you, too. Zeke, you poor, poor, human. And Stick, you were just an arse!

It was certainly an adventure. A compelling one at that! Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Movie Favorite

"A film of perfectly realized proportions about broken marriages and failed utopian ideals. Slyly understated and very funny, this portrait of a Swedish commune in the mid 1970s is filled with vivid, affectionately-drawn characters, incredibly sympathetic children, and, in the end, a profoundly moving final scene. When I have lost hope in humanity (which sadly occurs more frequently than I would like) I re-watch this stirringly beautiful film and feel my faith in the world restored."

"I hope that you will be understanding when I mention my fifth choice, which is An Inconvenient Truth. Davis Guggenheim justly received the Oscar for his work on that movie. He’s a great friend; I was with him last night. He’s so talented, and he did such a good job in that movie. Of course, I’m hopelessly biased in including that in the list, but I’m encouraged by how many positive comments people made about how it affected them."

This new historical fiction book is also biographical fiction, and it might appeal to lovers of historical fantasy, because of the paranormal elements included. "Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey" tells the story of a soldier in WWI and the homing pigeon that helped rescue his battalion. I hope you'll take a look at my #bookreview of this beautifully written novel by Kathleen Rooney​ on my blog now.

I can't believe there wasn't more buzz about Bumblebee, it was so good! This is the Transformer movie we should've got from the very beginning. I hope they wipe the slate clean of the Michael Bay helmed movies, build upon this one, and give us more like this. Movies like this is why I keep going back to the theater, for the fun ride. You should definitely roll out and watch Bumblebee if you haven't done so yet.
