I meant to put this giveaway up a couple of weeks ago but left it as a draft in my folders and totally forgot about it. You may remember that I accidentally pre-ordered two copies of Archangel’s Shadows by Nalini Singh recently. Instead of returning the …

Unlike a lot of my friends, I did not watch The Princess Bride growing up and only saw it for the first time when I was in college. Of course, I had heard of the film but for whatever reason, had never managed to see it until then. I knew that it was a much beloved classic. My friends were quite appalled that I had never seen it and so I made a vow to finally watch it and see what all the fuss was about. Now, watching something as loved as The Princess Bride can be a little intimidating for the first time viewer. I was worried that the film would seem dated or that maybe I just wouldn’t “get” the humor. There was the chance that my expectations were totally skewed and that, as a result, the film would fail to live up to the hype.

I just saw the trailer to Chappie the other day when I went to see Interstellar. I admit that I did not know anything about this film except that Hugh Jackman was in it. The trailer definitely piqued my interest though. The idea of what …
While I have not yet been to The Slanted Door restaurant, I have heard many sing its praises. Having grown up eating traditional Vietnamese food made by my mother, I am always a little wary of Vietnamese restaurants that claim to be “modern.” I think it’s just my inner prejudice that always wants to eat food that tastes like mom’s home cooking. However, I knew that this book as going to be different and I went into it with an open mind.
