Book Review: A Rake's Vow by Stephanie Laurens
My review of Stephanie Laurens’ book A Rake’s Vow (part of the Cynster series) caught some likes on Goodreads and I though to post it over here for your enjoyment. I suppose I expressed my indignation in a slightly sarcastic manner - judge for yourself!
A Rake’s Vow by Stephanie Laurens My rating: 3 of 5 stars Omigod, another super promising story line with great characters...

The Hobbit: Unexpected Journey - Quick Review
I saw the Hobbit: Unexpected Journey on the first day that it came out and as a fan I couldn’t be more pleased. I think it ill take a second viewing to also evaluate it fully as a film but I will include a short note about that!
