Dr Who thoughts
Oct. 11th, 2014 05:03 pmI still haven't watched the Dr Who I taped last week (I was out Saturday-evening). On the whole, I am not that enamoured with the stories. They're missing something, but I can't put my finger on what, exactly, and that bugs me.

Catherine Coulter, Midsummer Magic
Jul. 18th, 2012 04:32 pmSummary: Philip Hawksbury, the Earl of Rothermere, obeying his father's dying wish, hies himself to Scotland to offer for one of the daughters of Alexander Kilbracken, the Earl of Ruthven.
Frances Kilbracken, informed of the earl's arrival and his mission, disguises herself as a bespectacled dowd so she won't be the one selected by the young earl. But choose her he does, and for all the wrong reasons.
The newly married couple return to England, together but not at all happy. Philip dumps Frances at Desborough Hall, his ancestral estate, and heads back to his old life in London.
When the earl returns to his home, driven by guilt, he discovers the woman he married has grossly deceived him. What follows is a battle of the sexes that will have you chuckling, maybe even howling with laughter...
I didn't like this book at all, most of which can be explained by two words. Consent issues. ( Read more... )
