Like Crazy - I needed a chick flick the other night, so rented this one which always looked dramatic and romantic on the trailers. And it was! And I really liked it. Urban Cowboy meets International Romance, specially for the younger set.
Faithful Place by Tana French - I don't often read murder mysteries, but I needed books to read, and this was on the bookclub shelf, and many of my other choices were bad non-fiction. It takes place in Dublin, and it's written with lots of conversation between Frank Mackey, an undercover detective and his family. The dialect is wonderful, and coincidentally I was reading it on St. Patrick's Day. Perfect for the murder mystery crowd, and I'll go back to my usual fare of stories.
Whateverland by Alexis Stewart and Jennifer Koppelman Hart - I read this while Steve watched Suburgatory the other night. I was really desperate that day at the library, and curious. I'd heard Alexis and Jennifer on satellite radio a few times, and they can be weirdly attractive. This is a book about nothing, though. You'll learn that Alexis felt ignored as a child and Jennifer was chubby and her family knew Barbra Streisand. Read at your own risk. I promise you are not missing a thing. Bad non-fiction.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
