Atwood is the queen of thought-provoking, witty writing.

Stone Mattress is a collection of 9 stories based on old people. There is a mixed bag of characters from an author of a fantasy series to a disembodied hand that is madly in love.

All the stories in the book feature the characters looking back on their lives.

I really enjoyed the stories which had themes of romance, horror and brilliantly executed wit.

1988 | Comedy
A darker murderous take on the high school movie that is a fairly accurate representation of the cliques and the desperate desire to be popular that exist in high school. Christian Slater and Winona Ryder (in her early Tim Burton days) were great casting choices and make for a believable couple until the murder and mayhem start getting out of hand. Its perhaps looking a little dated now but it's still a very sharp and witty script and still quite relevant today. Well worth your time.
  
4.5 stars.

I still love this series.

Witty, paranormal, adventure/mysteries with Marnie and the team. If you haven't read this series yet and like the sound of it, I definitely recommend you buy it.

Long but oh, so good.

P.S. I'm still holding out for a Mark Batten/Marnie Baranuik full on romance--maybe possibly with Harry not minding sharing her or not in the frame at all, though I can't see that happening. Maybe in book three which I am dying to buy!
