Star of the Week: Dean Stockwell

A toast to Dean Stockwell, our new Star of the Week! He's a doll at any age, and to see his range, you can read reviews of two Juvenile Rag-winning performances from Down to the Sea in Ships and The Boy with Green Hair, as well as a grown-up video clip from Married to the Mob. Enjoy and come back to his page every day for two new reviews!
​For his television work, check out five seasons of Quantum Leap, three seasons of Battlestar Galactica, two seasons of The Tony Danza Show, three seasons of JAG, and one season of Street Gear.

Kick-Off for Fall

Bluestockings, bookworms, and bibliophiles (and any other nicknames you can think of) know what fall means. It's not Halloween, and it's not colder weather. It's time to curl up with our teacups, fireplaces, and stack of thrillers we've accumulated throughout the year. 
To kick things off, check out Pretty Little Liars #2 and The Perfect Stranger. If you're not ready for scary books yet, try this autumn set school book, an interesting drama: Saving Miss Oliver's.

The Next Star

Michelle Pfeiffer's week has now ended, and it's time for your next clue. All 32 of her reviews have now been posted to her page, if you want to catch up on them.
This Star won three Rag Awards for his work as a child actor, and he received his only Oscar nomination for the movie he acted in with Michelle Pfeiffer.
Do you know who he is? Leave your guesses below, and come back on Tuesday to find out if you're right.

Star of the Week: Michelle Pfeiffer

A toast to Michelle Pfeiffer, our new Star of the Week! To start off, you can watch her acting in Frankie and Johnny, and read reviews of Love Field and Dangerous Liaisons. Come back to her page every day for two new reviews, and enjoy!

Indian Summer

There was a bit of warm weather where I was, so I checked out a few more beach reads from the library and tore through the last of the summer books until next year. Enjoy!
The Blue Bistro by Elin Hilderbrand
The Friendship Club by Robyn Carr
The Power Trip by Jackie Collins

The Next Star

Peter Gallagher's time as Star of the Week has come to a close, and all 30 of his reviews are now posted to his page. Are you ready for your next clue?
This beauty played the title character in the movie she made with Peter Gallagher.
Leave your guesses below, and come back on Saturday to find out if you're right!

Star of the Week: Peter Gallagher

Peter Gallagher is our new Star of the Week! I don't know if that was easy for you to guess, or if you had to "really think" (to quote one of my favorite movie lines, said by our Star) about it. To start things off on his page, you can read review of Center Stage and To Gillian on her 37th Birthday. You can also watch a video clip from My Name Is Doris, featuring another wonderful quote that is sure to motivate you. Enjoy! For his television work, check out 4 seasons of Grace and Frankie, 6 seasons of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, 5 seasons of Covert Affairs, and of course, 4 seasons of The O.C.

Books to close out the summer

More beach reads, at long last!  In case you're experiencing an "Indian Summer" in your region (just that phrase alone makes me want to pick up 'Peyton Place' again!), you might need to find some more summery novels to get you through the hot weather. Check out my reviews for I'll Take Manhattan, The Boardwalk Bookshop, and Never Too Late.
