It's almost Valentine's Day

Happy President Lincoln's day!

Review: J.D. Warren. Bedlam, Bath and Beyond.
This book succeeds as a richly detailed and spunky paranormal type romance. She employs a novel construct and brings her mythical people and hot, immortal lover cleverly to life. The female lead is fun and assertive; the male lead is dark and brooding. Naughty level: 4. One and a half steamy sex scenes, but nicely grabby.

Bedlam is reminiscent of Elsewhere. An excellent alternative YA dystopia. You can read more about Elsewhere then you ever wanted to know here. Or you could just read it. It's an ALA notable children's book.

We went to see Fool's Gold over the weekend, aka the number one movie in America. Don't let the internet sway you; it's a perfectly fine romantic comedy. Here's the set-up: hot people, ship, treasure. Treasure! It's not the Coen brothers, but it is enjoyable, warm and fun. Plus it takes place in Key West, Florida and includes a very nice boat. Mathew McConaughey shirt count: two dry, one wet. Kate Hudson Goldie Hawn moment count: about 100.
