My Favorite Jane Austen Movies

It’s Valentines Day, so I thought I should share my expertise on romantic movies. I call myself a secondary expert on romantic movies because they are the only kind of movies my wife will watch. Over the years I’ve watched hundreds with her. So, I’m only an expert because of her. Her favorites are movies basedContinue reading “My Favorite Jane Austen Movies”

Harry Potter

The following review was written by my daughter, Chloe, age 11. One of my favorite book series is Harry Potter.  It’s clever, original, and extremely well written. I’ve read most of the books twice! There’s adventure, humor, and just a little bit of romance in the last two books. I almost cried when I watched the last movie because it was itContinue reading “Harry Potter”
