Book of the Month

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.

On Screen: Krampus

Krampus is a Christmas (some people called it anti-Christmas) movie...a bit like Gremlins but much darker. Krampus is a character frpm German folklore...kinda opposite of Santa Clause. I really enjoyed it though....not suitable for kids coz of horror and use of 'f' word few times.
