Review: In Darkling Wood

I loved "The Girl Who Walked on Air" so much so that I decided to read this latest book by the same author as well, but it wasn't as good as the previous book. My rating would be 2 out of 5.

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
 

On Screen: The Revenant

This movie was really good and very tense throughout. It's based on a novel of the same name.

How to be a Woman?
by Caitlin Moran
Though they have the vote and the Pill and haven't been burned as witches since 1727, life isn't exactly a stroll down the catwalk for modern women. They are beset by uncertainties and questions: Why are they supposed to get Brazilians? Why do bras hurt? Why the incessant talk about babies? And do men secretly hate them? Caitlin Moran interweaves provocative observations on women's lives with laugh-out-loud funny scenes from her own, from adolescence to her development as a writer, wife, and mother.
