When You're Laid Up In Bed...It's A Great Time to Get Some Reading Done.

Or so I found. It started with a sore throat and I ended up staying bed for practically a week. I think I had the flu. Finally I went to the doctor and he said I have iron deficiency anemia and maybe a cold. Okay. Anyway I finished reading about 18 books from 3/18-3/29. That's always cool because I love to read. Here is a list of my reading:
  1. To Wed A Scandalous Spy by Celeste Bradley A+
  2. Wild At Heart by Patricia Gaffney A+
  3. The Care and Feeding of Pirates by Jennifer Ashley A++
  4. The Temptation by Claudia Dain A
  5. The Knave and The Maiden by Blythe Gifford A-
  6. Fallen by Emma Jensen B+
  7. A Notorious Love by Sabrina Jeffries A
  8. The Reasons for Marriage (Short Story in Rogue's Reform) by Stephanie Laurens B+
  9. The Forbidden Lord by Sabrina Jeffries A
  10. A Marriage Worth Waiting For by Susan Fox B+
  11. The Ugly Duckling by Brenda Hiatt A
  12. Some Enchanted Evening by Christina Dodd A++
  13. The Sun And The Moon by Patricia Ryan A+
  14. The Mercenary's Kiss by Pam Crooks A+
  15. Winter Woman by Jenna Kernan A+
  16. In The King's Service by Margaret Moore A
  17. Captured Innocence by Susan Sizemore A
  18. A Rake's Vow by Stephanie Laurens B-
  19. Once A Warrior by Karyn Monk A+

Well at least I got something done although I'm laid up. Most of the books I read were good. Some were great. Some were on the dry side. The B and B- are the ones I found dry. But most of the books really took my mind of feeling like crap. I do love romance novels. Thank God for them!

Scary Thought It has occurred to me, that in ten or so years, (maybe less), many of the people that I love and who enrich my life, may not be with me. For instance, two of my all time favorite authors, Diana Palmer and Anne Stuart, are in their sixties and are having health problems. I cannot imagine a world without them. No new books by these authors to look forward to. No comfort in thinking of them and knowing they are there on this planet with me. What about my mother? She's in her sixties. People live a long time in my family. I'm hoping that she will continue this trend. Losing my father put a whole the size of Texas in me. I imagine that another hole will form when my mother goes. My grandmother is in her late eighties. Her time will come soon, and I am trying to prepare for it. My aunts too. I know that losing Anne Stuart and Diana Palmer will hurt me just as deeply as losing a family member, because they are like family to me. I grew up with them. They were m

Lakeview Terrace I watched this movie last night. I bought it a couple of weeks ago, but wanted to be ready to watch it. I am glad I was ready. It was a good movie, not perfect, but very good. On the surface, it's a movie about a Black police officer who is terrorizing his neighbors who are an interracial married couple, a Black woman and a White man. But that is just the surface. Deep down it is about the male psyche. We see two different men presented as a contrast to each other: Chris, a mild-mannered, New Age, enlightened male who has married the woman he loves, who happens to be Black. Abel is the other man, an uber-Alpha male who is used to being in charge, and the king of all he surveys. He happens to be a Black police officer who has been recently widowed. Chris is a man adrift. He has identity problems. He doesn't know if he's an alpha male or a beta male. He is in love with this wife, but he has not adjusted to being a married man who is settled down and starting

The Sadness of Expectations Unfulfilled: Punisher War Zone Why didn't I read a review before I bought and watched Punisher War Zone? I really should have done so. I let the promise of Ray Stevenson and a comic book movie lead me down the path of disappointed movie-watcherdom. Why was I disappointed? Because the movie was so disgustingly gory that I couldn't hardly digest the plot or appreciate the value of the movie. This movie was made as if it was a comic book for Hostel/The Devil's Reject fans. Okay I never watched these movies, but I scarcely see how they could be more gross and difficult to stomach than this movie. The review on Amazon that I should have read prior to watching this movie said that if I didn't appreciate the comic book in all its violent glory than I shouldn't be watching the movie. I beg to differ. Comic book art is a one-dimensional medium. Movies are three dimensional. They have what appears to be real life people. It is much easier to deal w
