A Maiden's Grave

Personal Review/Comments

I dunno. This has been called "Deaver's best to date" (Publishers Weekly). Jeffery Deaver is also the author of Praying for Sleep, another best-selling book. But I still dunno. I enjoyed reading it. It is a quick read as it pulls you along with no remission and you go from beginning to end, engrossed.

Personal Review/Comments

It is always rather relaxing to sit back and read a good classic that actually has some plot and story line. The House of Seven Gables is just such a read.

Personal Review/Comments

In the introduction of the book, it writes of Emma being the "climax of Jane Austen's genius" and is, in some circles, regarded as one of her best works.

Susan Boyle defeated by Diversity

It was certainly a shock defeat. The 11 street dancers that form the troupe Diversity have been declared winners with Susan Boyle as runner up. Diversity did a remarkable performance and you can see Diversity on YouTube.

Personal Review/Comments

I saw this movie years ago and thought it was an ok movie despite the big billing of great stars like Clint Eastwood (as Robert Kincaid) and Meryl Streep (as Francesca).

Movie Review: Star Trek (2009)

Just watched the latest Star Trek which chronicles the beginning of the legend of Captain James T. (Tiberius) Kirk and his iconic crew. Was not as enthused to go and watch it as I had imagined I would have been. Am glad I did. Was a surprise and much better than expected.

I went with no conception of the story plot and expected to see the "Fat Boy" (aka James T Kirk; less well known as William Shatner) appear. But that was not to be. However his younger version did very well indeed.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; Stieg Larson

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

by Stieg Larsson

Buy (if available): The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Personal Review/Comments

Very readable. Author died unexpectedly. Only 3 books. 2 published so far. Will be getting the other 2 for sure. The Minnenium books were recommended to me by Cindy, my sis-in-law, and she could not recommend them highly enough. I can see why. And it is a shame (for him too of course) that Stieg Larsson passed away before he could witness his well-deserved international acclaim and for us readers because it seems very hard to find authors who are "just right" and when we do, they cannot produce fast enough for our rabid eager consumption. With S. Larsson, there will sadly be no more apart from the 3 he handed over to his publishers before his demise.

Susan Boyle with "Memories" and Through Semi-Finals

After the disappointment from seeing Adam Lambert so not-deservedly lose American Idol 2009, I thought I would keep myself away from all these competitions for a while to let my sadden heart revived. But Susan Boyle's news caught my eyes, and my fingers followed suit shortly after.

Oh I just can't wait. American Idol on April 21, 2009 with the top 7 contestants still has not shown on Australian telly. It will air this evening for us Aussies.

Susan Boyle gobsmacks the world with Cry Me A River

Submitted by SumsaAneleh on Sat, 04/18/2009 - 17:07

Susan Boyle, appearing in the third series of "Britain's Got Talent" on Saturday, 11 April 2009 has gobsmacked the world. The universal reaction to her appearance has ranged from smirking condescension to awed disbelief to almost silent tearful worship. And the word that truly captures it is exactly what Susan herself felt, "Gobsmacked".
