Reading The Half Blood Prince left me on tenterhooks. The book ended on a precipice that leaves you trying to grapple with some shocking circumstances – Dumbledore’s death, Snape’s debatable betrayal of the Order – and, at the same time, guessing at the events that will take shape with the clues and hints that Rowling […]

Last night’s theme was Jazz, and my absolute fave, Mathilda ‘saved the show’, according to idol judge and prolific singer/ songwriter/ stage actor producer Dick Lee. She’s the only one who understood what the genre means and demands, and gave all she had to deliver her performance perfectly.
Eschewing the usual Ella, Natalie and other lady […]

I’ve decided to dedicate Wednesdays to web watching, so continuing from where I left off, these are my WebWatching Wednesday (WWW in future) eye catchers.
BookMinx Samantha
I like the girl in Sam’s blog banner. She’s twirling her hair and reading in what seems to be very comfortable lounge wear that looks perfect for the boudoir. The […]

If GOF was enthralling, then the Order of the Phoenix could only be exciting, exhilarating, there was no lengthy building of scenes. Instead, readers were treated to action right in the first chapter which saw Harry and his cousin being attacked by Dementors. The action continued in subsequent chapters at the HQ of the Order, […]

While I’m trying to figure out how I managed to muck up my GOF post royally, here’s a piece of injustice I picked up mid-week from Ohmynews. In the 3 years that she’s been blogging, PetiteAnglaise has only written about a dozen (about 14) posts relating to work. It calls to mind the famous blogger who […]

Having seen the movie twice, and the video twice, I was already impatient to start on this book so that I can progress on to the next, and the next. I couldn’t help staying up late to finish this marvelous follow-up to Prisoner of Azkaban - it was worth sacrificing that few hours of sleep.

This post is sort of inspired by Mailyn’s revelation of some of the worst professional websites.
Part of my daily routine at work includes scouring the web for news, sites and inspiring sites for co-marketing/ branding exercises. That habit has sort of extended spilled over to my private life and I find myself exploring and bookmarking […]

Kristie’s right. Ms Stuart writes Historical Romances as brilliantly as she does Romantic Suspense.
I finished Anne Stuart’s The Devil’s Waltz before I started on Black Ice for July’s TBR Challenge. Not going to dissect the plot here. If you like, hop over to the author’s website for the synopsis.
It was devilishly clever of her to […]
