Star of the Week: Julie Christie

Julie Christie is our new Star of the Week! To start off, you can watch a video clip from her Oscar-winning film, Darling. You can also read reviews of Far from the Madding Crowd and Doctor Zhivago, two of my favorites. You know the drill: come back to her page every day for two new reviews, and have fun!

'The Fire Blossom' Saga

At 600 pages apiece, 'The Fire Blossom' saga was quite a commitment. Originally German books, but beautifully translated into English, this sweeping epic follows German immigrants to New Zealand during the 1800s. Their children and their children's children continue their journeys in the later volumes. Check out my full reviews of The Fire Blossom, Fires of Change, and The Legend of Fire Mountain.

The Next Star

Laurence Harvey's week has ended, and now it's time to guess the next Star. You can read any 18 of his reviews, now permanently posted to his page. Here's your clue:
Next week’s star got her Oscar when she played in a movie with Laurence Harvey.

Star of the Week: Laurence Harvey

Laurence Harvey is our new Star of the Week! To start off, go to his page and watch a video clip from his Rag-nominated performance in The Alamo. You can also read about Summer and Smoke and Walk on the Wild Side, and come back every day for two new reviews!

'The Fire Blossom' trilogy

These three books have great fall-themed colors on their covers, but that's not why I'm posting their reviews now. They're heavy dramas and each of the three books is 600+ pages, so the beginning of fall is the perfect time to start the trilogy. You'll finish up with them by the time spring rolls around. It might be an awful lot to digest, but it's worth it. This saga is intense! Read my full reviews of The Fire Blossom,  Fires of Change, andThe Legend of Fire Mountain .
