A Book Review: The Kiss Quotient

June 14, 2021May 8, 2021

I had read about Helen Hoang's The Kiss Quotient in a couple of different places, so I decided to check it out. I'm so glad I did. I read some nasty reviews, comparing the book to 50 Shades. The people who wrote those reviews are ignorant. They saw the sex part and immediately made assumptions that  distorted their … Continue reading A Book Review: The Kiss Quotient

MJ Monday-Movies: The Ref

December 14, 2020October 29, 2020

The Ref, a 1994 flick (Dennis Leary, Kevin Spacey, and Judy Davis)has become one of my favorite Christmas movies. This is not a movie for children.

The visiting in-laws … Continue reading MJ Monday-Movies: The Ref

May 14, 2020April 18, 2020

I once listened to an RWA workshop in which the presenter, an editor, said just once she'd like to read a submission where time travel was voluntary. My immediate thought  was you've never read Linda Howard's Son of the Morning. I love this book. It has time travel, a Scottish hero, a modern day (circa 1997) … Continue reading Book Review-Linda Howard: Son of the Morning

MJ Monday-Movies: Yesterday

April 14, 2020March 22, 2020

  I'm surprised the movie Yesterday isn't better known than it is. I am unfamiliar with the male lead, but the female lead is Lily James of Downton Abbey and the Guernsey Potato Peel Pie and Literary Society fame. Ed Sheeran and Kate McKinnon are also in the movie. The plot is simple: a struggling … Continue reading MJ Monday-Movies: Yesterday
