"Such a tremendous collection. It’s fascinating to see how Eric Rohmer translates his own short stories into these films. His work with Nestor Almendros is so beautiful and simple, and the films are such profound and witty examinations of self-deception. Because I’ve been greedy in choosing these, I haven’t allowed myself to choose The Adventures of Antoine Doinel."

I've long touted that artificial sweeteners are poison. Here's a novel that takes that basic premise, brings it into the world of fiction, and watches to see what happens when one of those sweeteners is found to be a real problem.

Intrigue, deception, seduction and murder are all accepted and expected ploys in this game and the players are quite expert in their manipulations.The best is yet to come,this first season is one of the best crafted political dramas in quite a long time.

Scarlett dreams of escaping her life and going to Caraval. When she finally gets there, she realizes that it isn't at all what she expected, and that nothing is as it seems. This book is full of mystery, betrayal, love, deception, and so much more. I couldn't put it down, and look forward to getting my hands on the sequel!
