    A question

    We recently watched the older version of Maximum Overdrive and according to the credits it was all filmed in North Carolina. Was Dysarts only mentioned in the book?

    Interesting insights

    I just finished Hearts in Suspension and am literally left reeling. First the biographical parts from SK in particular and others in general were so well written that I felt like they were actually reliving those days. Those were their years of coming of age and those years define a person, no...

    Recently re read

    I've just finished a loooong overdue re read of Eyes of the Dragon. I went into it with some trepidation. I basically dismissed it as a fairy tale. Which it is, but that's not a bad thing. I mean, the unsanitized versions of the Grimms fairy tales are not pretty. I found this to be in that line...

    Tooting my own horn

    A question

    This has probably come up before, but I can't remember so here goes. When Red finds the letter from Andy did he put the box and cash there prior to his incarceration and the letter there later? Or did he put all of it there after his escape? My husband and I were watching it the other night and...

    Second Read

    You know, there is nothing like discovering a book you love for the first time. BUT, this is my secong read of Wolves. I have to say I am so enjoying this. The first time I read it I was so blown away by the entire series, that I gobbled greedily. This time I feel I am savoring. I had forgotten...

    Crossroads

    I'm wondering if anyone else has heard of this small, two story collection. It is called Crossroads and hailed as two late night stories. Since I regularly put books on my kindle from Amazon I get regular e mails from them. One day this was being advertised by them. So I had to have them. I...
