Fifty Shades of Grey Book Review

Literature student and recent graduate Anastasia Steele is an innocent, naive girl. When her roommate guilts her into interviewing the brilliantly gorgeous but intimidating Christian Grey, she is thrust into a world that is completely outside of her realm. It’s a world that will make her explore her darkest desires and question how she thinks relationships work.

From the beginning Ana and Christian find an irresistible want for each other. Before long they come to an arrangement that will give the manipulative billionaire complete control over Ana. As events unfold he finds out just how innocent she is. He must prepare her for a life that is equally frightening and highly erotic.

Hunger Games, Seriously Mom’s WTH?


I was kind of quiet with my ranting and raving about the movie as we watched The Hunger Games. I kept it to only a couple of posts. Only because of a FB group discussion and my good friend I was texting while watching it. I let hubby off the hook kind of and didn’t complain through the entire movie. But then when I did lose it he said, “it’s just a show”. OMG if I didn’t have my blog, my head would explode and wipe out my neighborhood.

True Blood vs. Sookie Stackhouse Books

About a Girl...I try hard to have no hopes about books when they become movies or tv shows. But I just love the Sookie Stackhouse series and I wanted to hold out hope that True Blood would magically be different than every other try out there.

Alas, as far as following the books and even the fun theme of the books, it’s a total fail. BUT, if I hadn’t read the books then it is great. I force myself to ignore the fact that it’s so completely different than the books and just enjoy. I was angry after the first season because they changed so much and didn’t have characters look anything like their descriptions in the book. But season 2 is SO different that I’m having an easier time.
