Death on the Nile is a stunningly gorgeous film that somehow manages to be both overdramatic and plodding. It is filled to the rafters with problematic actors wearing opulent apparel. I watched it on a whim one evening and when I mentioned it to the review team, Shana had just watched it as well. So we’re here to tell you about it. Sarah: I genuinely enjoyed how bizarre, wooden, and out of sync Gal Gadot … Continue reading Sarah and Shana Watched Death on the Nile →

RECOMMENDED: Who’s That Earl? by Susanna Craig is 99c! Catherine wrote a Lightning Review for this and gave it a B:
In fact, Who’s That Earl manages the feat of being low-tension and low-conflict while still having plenty of story and heart to keep you reading. If you are looking for something to read that is charming and relaxing and fun and won’t stress you out too much, this is the book for you.

I’ve been delayed in my recaps because I’ve been traveling for work and haven’t been home in a week and a half. Pudding: You were gone? Oh. I didn’t notice. I did get Pudding a stuffed seal on my adventures though. Last time, two new suitors were introduced, Dr. Hatem and Mr. Judge. Dr. Hatem is an emergency room doctor from Ireland, and Mr. Judge is a wrestling coach from Michigan. Everyone heads to … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch The Courtship–S1 E4: New Suitors →
CW/TW: This is a horror movie about cannibalism and terrible dates. So be ye warned. We are recapping The Whole Meal Film here so get ready. Maya and I share an interest in horror, and goodness knows the Pink Palace of Bitches is full of people with an interest in Sebastian Stan. Accordingly, we took a break from romance (this movie is NOT A ROMANCE!) and watched a movie that says that dating is Hell, … Continue reading Movie Review: Fresh →
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole is $1.99! This could expire ASAP. Simply put, GET THIS BOOK. Sarah completely loved it:
First, yes, you should absolutely read this book immediately, if you haven’t already. There is so much happening in the conflict within each of the protagonists, between the protagonists, and around them and their allies and enemies, I can’t possibly discuss all of it, but please know: if you are a reader (and why else would you be here, right?) this book is a marvelous, intelligent, respectful, breathtaking treat for your brain.

Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This HaBO is from Kristin, who is hoping to find this historical romance: This book was a historical romance/romantic comedy. The hero helps the heroine escape from her own wedding. At the beginning he is running after her in a field or a garden; I think maybe he wants to bring her back to the wedding but she convinces him otherwise. They go on a journey by carriage and boat, etc. At one point they … Continue reading HaBO: Road Trip Historical with Dog Rescue →
I picked up The No-Show because based on the blurb, I thought this would be some sort of feminist revenge fantasy. Said blurb: Three women who seemingly have nothing in common find that they’re involved with the same man in this smart new rom-com by Beth O’Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare. Sadly this does not end in a sisterhood pact over this man’s grave. Despite my wrong assumptions, I hoovered up this book in … Continue reading The No-Show by Beth O’Leary →
