Live at Max's Kansas City by The Velvet Underground

Album Favorite

"That album was such a big influence on me; it was played a lot on the eight-track in the transit van as we travelled to gigs. We liked it, it was mega. The songs were great, it had I’m Waiting For The Man and Sweet Jane on it, and it was really dark."

What a sweet movie. I'm a sucker for very well-made romantic comedies and this one is the perfect blend of both. Had a few minor story errors in the middle of it, but I am willing to forgive it because of how well written this was. I will add this one to my collection.

Book Favorite

"Turgenev’s tenderness, this heartbreaking tale of two innocents crushed by the machinations of stupid, coarse characters, their inferiors in every way, is a masterpiece of evocation, both of the natural world, of a love extraordinary for its purity, alongside bitingly funny satiric characterization—all this create an atmosphere of sweet melancholy I find irresistible."

I totally love this book!

It's sweet, it's romantic, it's heart-breaking.

Rowen Sterling, you are one lucky woman to find a guy like Jesse. He's amazing! He doesn't care about your past or your fashion sense, he cares about you, the person. (Just writing that is making me want to fill up :') he's so sweet). I loved him from early on and he grew on me throughout.

Rowen, you may have been broken when you got to that ranch but look what the love of a good family will do to you...

Looking forward to reading the next in the series, to see what else happens between these two.

P.S. This is a cowboy New Adult book! Two things I love in one! :D

Sweet and heartwarming.

Short, sweet and fun. There's a lot packed in to this heartwarming story. From long-term friendship, self-love and a beautiful relationship, all the way to conquering Everest. Following Cindi through her journey was a great experience, little things felt like I could really relate to her. She's kind and compassionate with insecurities that almost everyone has from time to time. Luckily she has her best friend Tara by her side. They make a great pair, thought the chemistry that they're both hiding makes Cindi blush up a storm!!
    Two characters well written and supported by some equal fun and interesting other characters, makes for a nice cozy afternoon read. Worth having some chocolates to hand for this one.

Bittersweet drama, a little dry
As interesting as the parallel dialogues were of both father and daughter, the story fell short slightly of its potential. It felt a little repetitive at times and ended rather suddenly with not much conclusion. It was sweet but it didn't quite reach the point of cementing a moral of the story.

The story is complex and interesting. (0 more)
Better than I thought it would be
I like the way the story goes. A baby is left on the doorstep of a bookstore where the owner isn't very inviting. From that, the man starts to change as the baby grows up with him. It's a very sweet and touching story.
