Heidi of the Rockies

I need to quit promising reviews here and just start getting them done! After a great weekend partying in Steamboat Springs (thanks to Ben & Kiki for a good time), I’m back at it! I have just written a movie reviews of Michael Clayton, starring George Clooney and  Into the Wild, based on the book by the same name by Jon Kraukauer.   Both are in theaters now.   Read

Busy Week

We have had a tremendously busy week and I haven’t gotten around to writing my reviews yet.   We did manage to squeeze in a movie this week (Into the Wild) which just happens to be a favorite book of mine.    Sean Penn directed the movie and I think he did a pretty good job at staying on target with the book (by Jon Kraukauer).   We are off

Book Review: Water for Elephants

 by Sara Gruen This book was recommended to me over a year ago by Stephanie Stauder, friend and owner of Anthology Book Co. (www.anthologybookcompany.com).   I finally got around to reading it this past weekend.   Yes, I did manage to read it in its entirety on Sunday afternoon. The main character, Jacob Jankowski, is  male.   I point this out because I always find it interesting when a main
