There is no doubt in my mind that Neil Gaiman is a true blue romantic at heart. Just read his fantasy work Stardust, which was adapted into a movie starring Claire Danes, Robert de Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer, and which I simply had to watch, and you’ll surely agree with me.
Let’s talk about the book […]

I made a mistake by watching the movie first before I finished reading the multiple award-winning, critically acclaimed novel Atonement by Ian McEwan.

It’s been a while since my last WebWatch Wednesday post, so I took some time off this morning to go surfing for anime related blogs, as I’ve promised that long ago day.
