Book Review: Virtuosity by Jessica Martinez
Publisher: Simon & Schuster UK Publishing Date: October 27 2011 Genre: YA, Contemporary, Romance Format: Paperback Page count: 292 My rating: Carmen Bianchi, world-famous violins child prodigy, is competing for a prestigious prize: a four year performing contract, oodles of cash, and the loan of a violin worth as much as a small country.

Film review: Captain America (2011)
Captain America (2011) is our final Avengers film before our intrepid Avengers assemble. This film is a little different than its sister films Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Thor: it’s still an origins film, but it’s more of a war film than a superhero film. This, I think, contributes to why it is my […]
Audio Book Review: Storm Front by Jim Butcher
Publisher: Buzzy Multimedia Publishing Publishing Date: February 2 2003 Genre: Urban Fantasy Format: Audio Book (unabridged) My rating: Storm Front did not seem like my kind of book. A family member has been pestering me to read them, and I have resisted, only because it does not sound like ‘my’ kind of thing. I mean sure, urban fantasy, a […]
