The Dark Night Rises Review

[Picture taken from Wikipedia.com]

I have to be honest, the Aurora shooting definitely affected me.  I couldn’t help but think about how similar our crowd was to the crowd at that midnight showing.  There was even a policeman outside the theater, walking the halls, which made me feel a little safer, but still was a grave reminder of what happened just a week before.We went to see this movie for my husband’s birthday, though I am a bit of a comic geek myself, so I was completely looking forward to how they would end this fantastic trilogy.

The Book Thief Review

My book for this month was “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak.  It was recommended on Pinterest by people who liked the Hunger Games, so I thought I would try it.  I didn’t even really read the synopsis before picking it up at the library.  I just wanted to read a story without knowing anything about it.  And I really enjoyed this surprise.
