Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – Making Up for Lost Time
    Pretend you're something you're not and hope for the best. After all, the lie only has to last a few days. Making Up for Lost Time started with this basic premise of a screwball comedy, with inspiration from the hilarious Christmas in Connecticut, starring Barbara Stanwyck.

Random Shiny Things

  • Unforgettable at the Lesbian Review of Books
    The kind of indestructible and talented woman we all dream we could be - much like Molly Bolt in Rubyfruit Jungle.
  • Captain of Industry at Rainbow Reviews
    For as much as I thought I disliked both women for different reasons, Kallmaker sucked me in with deeper character analysis that left me cheering them both on in the last few chapters.
